Daily Kos, Nov. 13, 2024.

My plans to deal with trumpism 2025+ is to stop spending money. You all have two months before the promised tariffs become reality.

As mentioned by many here on DK, why are progressives still using anything elon? Bluesky looks to be a good alternative to X. There are lots of solar and car companies better than Tesla. Your money is your power. Look to see where every penny of your money is being spent. I plan to cancel my Amazon Prime and all other “subscriptions” next month.

Before the election, I viewed the documentary film Bad Faith. You want to know why things happen politically in the USA? Watch it. If you think gender and race didn’t play a factor in this election? Watch Bad Faith.

Who am I?

A caucasian, male, science teacher who lives in a very reactionary (not conservative), very religious community. I was pressured out of my job for teaching about how all living things are connected to each other (evolutionary biology), how the climate is changing due to human activity (ecology), and how the earth is 4.5 billion years old (geology).

I know the people who censor factual information. I know their political agenda. I live among them. --- Comments,

Something that I have been saying for a long time. Unfortunately, most Americans are too comfortable to do this.
