I once had a therapist who told me that the only disappointments in life come from expectations. Maybe sharing the disappointment — speculating about reasons, finding silver linings — will help all of us understand better what happened.
So, I’m reaching out to the Make Orwell Fiction Again community to launch a new feature: The Chat. Today seems like a good day to talk to each other.
Among my questions:
Were conservative voters lulled to sleep by talk of a Red Wave? Was turnout low?
Has Donald Trump become an albatross on the conservative cause? Yes he endorsed many candidates, but he is left with a $100K war chest, unspent.
Has the USA already gone Woke Marxist?
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I’ve already started my first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
I think the problem was Trump. He thinks he is helping when in fact he is hindering. It's time for him to move on.
