as a politician i would never sleep

Mar 6, 2025

I wasn’t a fan of government in high school and I thought it was because I didn’t like listening to lectures and taking notes. Come to find out — more than 40 years later — I should’ve paid more attention.

I understand just enough to be dangerous.

Hugo likely knows more about tariffs, politics, and balancing individual freedoms with collective needs than I do.

Hugo dreaming about tariffs

Although I’m interested in what’s going on in the world, I can admit that I’m not an expert on anything as it pertains to our government. I know what I support and what I don’t… and vote for the candidates that best represent my values. I can’t imagine having the weight of huge decisions that impact millions of people on my shoulders. I would NEVER sleep.

But you know what else I don’t understand?

I don’t understand what the most vocal Democrats (like Al Green, Jasmine Crocket, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, & others) think they can accomplish with what they’re blasting to the media (the songs sang off-key, the saturation of short video clips, etc.). As I see it, if they continue in this manner, Barron Trump will be elected president before a Democrat is elected again. And Al Green’s stunt at Trump’s address? Oddly enough, that didn’t bother me like the paddle brigade who couldn’t clap for a little feller who has fought cancer for 6 years.

I “sort of” get wearing pink in resistance to Trump’s agenda and the perceived slights against women — but Democratic women in Congress also wore pink after voting against a Senate bill on 3/3/25 aimed to protect women by banning transgenders from female sports — so how does that even make sense?

Cringe marketing is not a good look!

The new House Democrats “choose your fighter” skit is… well, you decide…


Now you know: The majority of Americans — 79% — (based on NY Times/Ipsos poll from 1/25) believe athletes should compete based on their birth gender. Another NY Times/Ipsos poll from 1/25 found that 55% of Americans support deporting all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. When narrowed to those who entered in the past four years, support rose to 63%. Over 80% polled said if the immigrant was linked to any crime they should be deported.
