Welcome, welcome to IHIP News, where we share our opinion about the news that is important to us.

What's important to us is saving democracy pumps. What you got?

Well, as everyone is still talking about the autopsy of what went wrong and what we need to do,

I wanted to look forward. Who are going to be the

leaders that we look to in these next four years? And one of those is our dearly beloved

Gavin Newsom. We have a president-elect. And I'm one of those people. I mean, I revere

the institution. I revere this country, I revere the presidency,

and I want our president to succeed.

And our job, my job is not to wake up every single day

and get a crowbar and try to put it in the spokes

of the wheel of the Trump administration.

And so again, in that spirit of an open hand, not a close fist,

that's how we want to proceed. That said, fourth point, I'm not naive either, and we're

pragmatic. And we will stand firm. I am reminded there's a great old poem about, you know, the winds may howl, but I will not be swept away.

That is breathtakingly unhelpful.

That is the last thing the American public needs to hear right now.

The Democrats have got to get themselves pulled together and say, listen up.

You all have been lied to. You all have been gaslit. Rights are going to start eroding and we are here.

We are here for you. That word salad nonsense about the winds and about Heritage Foundation and blah, blah, blah,

none of that penetrates.

The majority of working class voters have been lied to by the right wing and we must label it as such.

And lying for votes is a sign of weakness.
