    But what represents that change when things are quantifiably pretty good?

    I disagree that things are pretty good, and so did most of the country. Grocery prices are up. Housing and child care prices are insane. A significant injury or illness can still send you into bankruptcy. Income and wealth equality are still worse than before the French Revolution.

    And I also disagree that people embraced authoritarianism. Trump won by default because the message the Harris campaign was sending didn’t motivate people to get to the polls to support her.

    Apparently we do if we want to win elections.

    As for Timmy: I’d find a shiny rock and have him participate in a ceremony to make it monster repellent. Then when he’s scared he can rub the rock and the monster will go away.

    If you want someone’s support you need to meet them where they’re at, not where you’d like them to be.
