     January 25, 2026, the day the American Political establishment fell to pieces. Oh, they’ll say it didn’t fall apart until April or May, but today is the day it ends. Today’s the day that Trump, against every bit of reason and logic, decided to dump the NRA to make his enemy seem like a monster for carrying a gun for self-defense. It may look like the Republicans are siding with Trump, but the NRA has already condemned Trump for this, and others have followed in their wake. I’m no expert on this, but between this and Trumps terrible handling of the Epstein files I’m willing to bet that even now there are talks behind the scenes about courting some of the Democratic political establishment, particularly those in states harangued by ICE. Some will bite. I don’t know who or how hard, but some of them will, and when they do the Democrats will be horrified. They don’t want fascism, but they don’t like the NRA, and the memory of Sandy Hook weighs deeply on everyone’s minds. I’d go as far as to say that this is the moment that throws the outcome of every following election into question. Who will side with who? What will be said? What points will be made? I have no idea what will come of this, but I know in my bones it’ll be something unforeseen and terrible.
