Remember: No Dooming.
Talk to your parents, learn a new skill, stay out of debt, and be useful to others. You'll be fine.
Focus on the good, the true, and the beautiful.
If Trump signs an amnesty bill, he can be impeached by the House, removed by the Senate, have his kids jailed, and have his corpse dragged through the streets like Mussolini or Gaddafi for all I care.

This is correct, folks. And the turnout that all the grifters are now calling "fraud" was forecasted clearly in primary participation.
We screamed about it at the top of our lungs, and people didn't listen. Now, some want to blame fraud with ZERO evidence.
This is illustrative of what happened in the 2026 midterm:
Republican turnout cratered, while Democrats' remained approximately constant and independents voted more for the latter.
And it happened just about everywhere.

My addendum to this, is that the 49 year-old blue collar worker in Ohio had a high-paying job in the 90s, likely the same that his dad and granddad were able to retire from, which disappeared in the oughts, and is perhaps just now back to where he was- less the pension.
Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

Democrats will not abolish the filibuster. The reason is simple:
Racial reparations.
If the filibuster goes, Democrats will have ZERO reason not to pass it (and plenty of other "progressive" items that they don't actually want).
Abolish the Senate filibuster now.
It’s the single most important thing Democrats can do right now. And this is the ideal moment to do it. 🧵

Whoever drew the maps for the Ohio state legislature is having a strong drink right now.
Republicans still hold both chambers.

If you have the money to buy a blue check, gas is likely not a large portion of your budget.
But if you're only making $12-$16/hr, putting $80 in the gas tank every week instead of $50 is a bigger deal that you get reminded of constantly.

They're going to blame Trump for the loss.
Who is advising him? 😔
It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio, a place I love and WON BIG, THREE TIMES, in 2016, 2020, and 2024!
I know Vivek well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL. He is Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. His opponent, Amy Acton, is a Radical Left Dumocrat who wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women's Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. Amy Acton is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! On the other hand, as your next Governor, Vivek will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Advance Election Integrity, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
Vivek Ramaswamy has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of the Great State of Ohio. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR VIVEK — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump gave the Pro-Life movement exactly what it asked for (overturning Roe and sending abortion back to the states) and the Pro-Life movement will never forgive him for it
