Us Vs. Them May 13, 2026May 12, 2026 CALLING A DRIVERLESS CAB For those of who think TSLA is overvalued at 405X earnings, this story is a lot of fun. AND WHY NOT CALL IT WITH YOUR $499 MADE-IN-AMERICA GOLD TRUMP PHONE? The ‘Trump Phone’ Has Been Repeatedly Delayed and Will No Longer Be Made in the U.S. The Trump boys have thus far collected $59 million in deposits from nearly 600,000 MAGAns and will presumably never, ever deliver the promised phone. But Republican lawmakers are okay with scams and war crimes, with pardoning drug dealers and protecting pedophiles, with favoring dictators over democracies, with attacking the press and the Pope, because . . . well, you know. They’re the good guys. With the concept of a plan for “great health care at a tiny fraction of the price” now 10 years in development. Who were robbed of the presidency in 2020, which they won by a landslide. Who think Putin is a genius and wish Ghisliane Maxwell well. Still, might these Trump phones be the final straw for some of the 600,000? To whom I say: Having doubts? You’re not alone. A welcoming, nonjudgmental community is there for you when you’re ready: leavingMAGA.org US VS. THEM An otherwise-impressive 23-year-old texted me yesterday: I can’t get too caught up playing into us vs them politics… I opt out. I replied: The “us” are people who believe in the rule of law, competence, science and democracy (and reproductive rights and LGBT equality and empathy). The “them” currently control all three branches of government. To my surprise, he replied, “all true” — and was open to my entreaty to opt IN. Who knows? If we all keep at it, this could be the year a lot of young people do.
