“I am bracing for something bad to happen… It’s hard to pile up all this risk, then for all of it to come to nothing: landmines avoided until a Democratic administration takes over and clears all of them. The odds of that strike me as dim.” I share @brianbeutler.bsky.social ‘s feeling

Being out of DC from time to time — in Scranton area, the south, on vacation — what strikes me hard is how average people with their busy lives are mostly not paying attention to the generational damage being done to the US.

I am crossing every finger to hope bad things don’t happen, and talking about it to let people know what’s happening. We also need to plan out a rebuilding path. But it feels to me like the majority of the country is in denial. I felt that way in early Jan 2025. Let’s hope for the best

Let’s work for the best too.
