Tim Miller

Anyway, he's home and he's writing about politics.

just kind of the deterioration of everything and how you, what's the old line about how, you know, a movement becomes a... Starts off as an idea and becomes a movement, something like that, and then ends up as a...

Something like that.

We'll find out.

And just like the degree of the scamminess of Trump world is pretty disillusioning and depressing.

He talks about how, you know, there was this guy, Jake Elsey, who you might remember.

You were in a little drama related to him.

He was like the more normie guy running in a...

in a big primary in Texas for a House seat.

Our friend Michael Wood was kind of the never-Trumper candidate back when those existed.

And then Elsie was more like the establishment person.

And then there were some more MAGA people.

And Elsie apparently was sending his text to his...

grandmother asking for 10 bucks so that they can get their Trump tariff checks, which is a scam.

Obviously, Jake Elsie's pack has no purview there.

And and he's from Texas and she's in Iowa.

And so, you know, he's kind of trying to help his grandparents understand what was happening on the scam.

And then he has an uncle talking to him about Nick Fuentes.

And it's just, you know, it's not one of these stories about how we have a family food fight over the holidays, but it's about how it's kind of sad the way things are deteriorating.

I Googled it this morning to refresh my memory.
