Licking Our Self-Inflicted Wounds

The election results are almost certainly not genuine, but the world is proceeding as if they are, so I will proceed as well.

Hi, it's been a while.

I've been thinking about how to continue with updates here, as the 2024 election went, simply put, the complete opposite direction everyone thought it would go. Donald Trump was inaugurated shortly after admitting out loud on camera to his customarily not-full rally venue that he had manipulated the election and would almost certainly have lost if not for his misdeeds, and those of others on his behalf.

Maybe something will come of that, as the ETA keeps releasing tranches of data that illustrate the evidence of manipulation, and maybe-- just maybe --a major media news organization might pull their lips away from Trump's shoes and talk about it, but I'm not holding my breath. I've been posting snippets of my political thoughts on my facebook profile, where they of course disappear from most people's sight forever after only a day or two in the water.

I've mostly avoided posting here because at first, I was confident that the gains the Republicans achieved in the election would be called back, so I wouldn't have to work quite so hard changing items in the site's backend, but when that didn't happen, I started to lose hope. I started to despair at the thought of a federal government dedicated to the promise to dismantle the federal government, and again, I just put my thoughts on facebook, and that's not good for anyone.

Well, I can't sulk forever. So I'm working on the backend code for this site to get all the House and Senate seats updated to reflect the numbers in the 119th Congress, and to be ready to talk about the upcoming elections for the 120th Congress. Expect those updates to hit here soon, along with some new census data. But sooner than that, expect to see some free-form prose on my wild thoughts and analyses on the state of American politics, and crucially, why I believe there are better times on the horizon.

Please stay tuned.
