Not just politics.  Some of it tied to territory made it really like a Civil War back when.  Moderate votes really really matter now.  And, consultants.  We can't ignore what is undermined by this.

     Because democratic socialism is anti-Republic.  Tied to actual place and people.  Voted, so not just programs.  More of a checkmate where it's happened.

     Justices and the military are under extreme pressure in such times.

     Political nightmare landscape.  It's why Hamas was able to October 7th.

     "How do you think us Cubans felt?"  One older lady asked.  She had a bit of cake frosting on her lip and a grand-daughter wiped her lip.  "STOP THAT!" She smacked his hand away.  "I'm not drooling yet," she told everyone close to her. 

     "Or the French?" Another even slightly older woman asked. 

     "Were they affected by partying louses bossing everyone around as government?" 

     "Especially by the effeminate ones," she raised her eyebrows and plucked a cracker with tuna on it from the platter.  "Protein," an EMS person identified the foodstuff.  "That's good for you." 

     "What, do you think I was born yesterday?  I KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME." 

     "Damn straight.  Me too," an older middle ager said and drained her red wine cup.  She smiled big, all red lipstick and purple teeth. 

     "You kids are cleared," a woman in uniform with a clipboard licked her finger of a swipe of cake frosting.  "Who ate all the cake?" 

     "Whhhyyyy?" 

     "I might have to check sugar levels." 

     "Nobody!" 

     "Yeah, I'll drink to that.  Nobody ate the cake." 

     "That's who they'll let eat cake now.  Nobody but themselves.  You watch." 

     "Be quiet, I'm reading," the naptaker hushed the room.
