i could be wrong skip to main content i could be wrong not a democrat or republican not liberal and not conservative i am an independent american follow me on bluesky i could be wrong written by david p search search this blog home more posts june 07 2026 when belief turns into a costume there s a strange thing happening in america and you can feel it long before you try to explain it it s this gap this canyon between what people say they believe and what they re actually willing to live by and nowhere is that gap wider than with the two books americans love to wave around the bible and the constitution you see it at rallies in church parking lots on cable news on bumper stickers people hold these books up like trophies they swear by them they defend them they quote the parts they like but when those same books ask something difficult something that cuts against anger or pride or loyalty to a political tribe suddenly the meaning gets fuzzy suddenly the text becomes complicated suddenly the rules don t apply it s not that people don t know what these books say it s that they don t want to be bound by them and that s how belief turns into a costume the bible and the constitution sacred until share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps post a comment read more recent posts june 03 2026 for years donald trump has insisted he s the most persecuted man in america a victim of courts prosecutors and a justice system supposedly rigged against him you can probably say that trump has loved playing the victim but when you step back and look at the record not the campaign lines not the whiny social media posts a different picture comes into focus it s not a story of a man being treated unfairly it s a story of a man who has pushed the limits of the law harder than any president in modern history and a supreme court that has repeatedly stepped in at key moments to give him breaks no other president ever received all the whining is meant to manipulate the courts and definitely rile up his supporters start with the lower courts judges appointed by republicans democrats and even trump himself have documented a pattern of defiance from trump and his administration not once or twice but dozens of times federal courts found the administration share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps 3 comments read more may 31 2026 when the justice system starts tilting you pay attention there comes a point where you stop chalking things up to coincidence and start looking at the pattern that is where i have been for a while with the department of justice not because of one headline or scandal the whole system feels like it s leaning in a direction it s not supposed to lean once you see the pattern you realize that it s a pattern that s not right what makes it even more unsettling is that it s the party that claims to be the party of small government that is also building the biggest machinery of control you don t need to be a democrat or a republican to notice what is happening you need to be paying attention look back over the last fifty years and you see a steady pattern nixon kept an enemies list of american citizens and used the doj and the irs to go after people on it reagan and bush sr expanded federal policing and surveillance under the war on drugs and protected the iran contra share get link facebook x pinterest

oversimplification of the problem we ve always had two parties we ve always argued that s normal what s killing us now is corruption and the way too many folks look the other way when the corruption comes from their guy that s the truth nobody wants to admit or say out loud most americans be it maga moderates independents or folks that don t even watch the news say they hate corruption they want honesty they want fairness they want leaders who put the country first but when corruption comes from someone wearing their team colors suddenly it s fake news or the media made it up or my favorite the other side is worse which i always hear from my republican friends that s how this country has gotten into the mess that we re in what s the real problem we have stopped calling out our own side corrupti share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps 1 comment read more may 24 2026 memorial day is coming up fast and every year we tell ourselves the same thing maybe this time we ll get a quiet moment to honor the people who gave their lives for this country a day without politics a day where we can all agree on something for once but if we re being honest we already know how this weekend is going to go we ve seen it before we ve lived it before and it s not because americans changed it s because the tone from the top changed every memorial day folks hope for a message about the fallen instead we get a message about someone s enemies someone s grudges someone s personal scorecard and it always seems to land on the one weekend when the spotlight should be on the people who never made it home that s the part that hits people the wrong way especially veterans they re not asking for much just respect just a moment where the country remembers what sacrifice actually looks like and when memorial day rolls around here s what usually happens share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps post a comment read more may 20 2026 the moment china told us we were slipping and we agreed every once in a while there s a moment that quietly explains where the world is heading one of those moments happened when donald trump sat down with china s president xi jinping xi didn t insult america directly he didn t call us weak or washed up he didn t have to instead he used a phrase trump clearly didn t understand the thucydides trap like me most americans haven t heard of it and honestly there s no sign that trump had either here s the simple version it s the old story of a new tough guy rising and the old tough guy getting nervous the new guy gets stronger the old guy gets jumpy and that fear leads to bad decisions and fights nobody wanted that s all it means when xi brought up the thucydides trap he was basically saying china is rising america is slipping don t panic and make it worse that was a quiet power move the kind of thing world leaders use to put you in your place wit share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps 2 comments read more may 17 2026 trump s targeting story was never about justice it was about the 1 7 billion he wants now donald trump keeps saying the biden administration weaponized the department of justice that he targeted people he has repeated it at rallies in interviews and on social media he never really explains what that actually means there s a reason for that the story isn t meant to be explained it is meant to be felt because the moment you look at the facts the whole thing falls apart trump points to a handful of cases in which the justice department during biden s time in office charged people under the face act freedom of access to clinic entrances the face act is a law that has been enforced by every president since the 1990s including republicans these cases weren t about politics they were about people blocking the doors to women s health clinics and threatening workers that s been illegal for decades and here s the part that trump never mentions his own de share get link facebook x pinterest

t something you claim it s something that you feel it s something that you live if you look honestly at how people actually live how safe they are how stable their lives are how much control they have over their own bodies and future the truth is unavoidable the freest people on earth today are the scandinavians not because they re better people not because they re more moral because their leader built the conditions that make freedom real in the 21 st century and we didn t freedom isn t a slogan it s a system scandinavian countries built the foundation of real freedom healthcare that doesn t disappear when a job ends childcare that doesn t cost more than rent paid family leave so parents can raise their kids tuition free college so young people start life without debt and strong worker protections low share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps 2 comments read more may 10 2026 i received a joke from a friend on social media it was of a little girl asking the president why he doesn t practice active shooter drills and hide under his desk so i decided that it was worth writing about can a president lead a country hiding under the desk even if it is a fancy desk america has survived wars depressions pandemics and disco we have shown we can handle an awful lot now we are being asked to believe something truly wild that the country is so dangerous so chaotic so close to annihilation that a political figure needs fortified ballrooms escape hatches and a security setup like it was designed by the same guy who designed the batcave if things are really that bad then the question isn t where he hides it s why the rest of us are living in the world he keeps describing let s be honest a president can t lead a country from under the desk that s not strength that s not toughness that s not america first that s just hiding and here s share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps 2 comments read more may 06 2026 are you the problem or are you the product for years we have been told that the biggest fight in america is the liberals versus the conservatives left versus right or democrats versus republicans we have been told that our neighbors are the enemy that the other half of the country hates us and that the only way we can save america is to defeat the other team what if the whole thing is just a distraction what if the real fight isn t between regular americans at all a growing body of reporting and research points to a different truth the real divide isn t between liberals and conservatives it s between people who live with the consequences of politics and the people who profit from keeping us divided the simple truth is that ordinary americans are being used not just maga not just democrats all of us maga voters have been targets of a level of emotional manipulation that deserves to be called out plainly not to shame anyone but to show respect share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps 1 comment read more
