My Dad spent years predicting this. We used to think he was falling for conspiracies. Now we know he was recognizing patterns.

Yes, that quote’s author had his own issue.

We’re in the fight of our lives, I agree. escapeadulthood.com/blog/2025-09...

Imagine if “Wide Awake” clubs had been designated as terrorists before the Civil War. The South would have continued to shut down free speech, Lincoln might not have been elected and slavery would have continued. Now you know why Trump wants to designate people on the left as terrorists.

I love Jess Piper’s POV on almost anything, but especially on this.
