A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“There is a larger story than that of Trump’s attempt to blame Democrats for a disaster that happened on his watch. His administration seems to be trying to replace the government Americans have created through their representatives over centuries to promote the interests of all Americans with a group of white men who can operate as they see best, without restraint.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrumpIsUnfitForOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsUnfitForOffice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsOligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsOligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LettersFromAnAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LettersFromAnAmerican</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-30-2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">heathercoxrichardson.substack.</span><span class="invisible">com/p/january-30-2025</span></a></p>
