The Art of the Deal is not the same as the art of delivering a fair and equitable deal for the American people and our neighbors, near and far.
Read this from Heather Cox Richardson, two years ago, a few months before we made the colossal mistake of putting Donald J Trump back in the White House ... and consider the U.S. economy at the end of 2024 — *The Envy of the World* — rebuilding after the Covid 19 global pandemic on the sound, real world economics of rules-based cooperation among large-, mid-, and small-nation economies; and compare that with the chaos unleashed by our Big Ugly Mistake.
We did this to ourselves, by entrusting political power to the wrong people, with consequences that threaten the well-being of not just a supermajority of Americans but a supermajority of people on earth.
Now we can undo this ourselves by electing a U.S. Congress who will force a return to the fundamentals that have tended towards shared prosperity and liberty in the past, and can help us get back on track again.
The road to a shot at another 250 years of American Democracy begins with electing and seating a 120th Congress dedicated to building a more perfect union on the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law.
There's no shame in being fooled into a big mistake. There's great shame in not correcting that mistake at the earliest possible opportunity.
