WWUTT?

Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that. Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…” But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious. And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either. So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.

"Daddy, what are Calvinists?" "They are people who believe that God does not want to save everyone."

Here’s what I think is going to happen. The right is going to lose in 2026, not because Democrats have better or more popular policies, but because of voter fatigue on the right from constant propaganda meant to divide us… which is clearly working. They threw out all of the stops, never missing an opportunity to push so many lies from so many angles that most people simply can’t process what is real and what is fiction. So, we lose. It won’t seem too drastic at first, but it will hamstring the Trump admin enough and tie him and those that remain loyal up in impeachments and other nonsense that will make his admin ineffective. This will create more doubt on the right as Democrats and our adversaries pump more propaganda into the space, highlighting the ineffectiveness. Morale will drop even further. Then we are really going to lose in 2028. We are going give Democrats and the Halal Right a supermajority, which they will use to pack the court, open the borders again, send more money to Islamist and left leaning causes, reestablish DEI policies, proliferate troon ideology, and ultimately start chipping away at the Constitution. It will only take a year or two with that kind of juice behind the effort and a supermajority pushing through legislation. The SCOTUS will be unable to stop unconstitutional laws because of the new leftist majority make up. A hot Civil War will start in the south, but it won’t feel like a civil war (no real clear sides, more like insurgent warfare of rural vs urban). Media and influencers will push it as anti-American insurgents trying to attack other Americans. Rights will be suspended. The Patriot Act will be used to identify and lock up tens of thousands. Martial law will be implemented. American foreign policy will crumble with the domestic issues. China and Russia will move forward in the world stage and systematically rewrite alliances. World wars will likely break out as a result. By 2030… the word will be a bleak and terrible place… But hey, at least a bunch of influencers made money off of centuries old propaganda made for illiterate peasants. Fun times.
