PoliticusUSA Thanksgiving SALE! Enjoy a 20% discount on an annual subscription through November 28!
As the media and political elites opine on the American experience in 2025, they often adopt an almost clinical perspective, observing life from a distance that most of us can only dream of. It’s as if they are discussing a different planet when they talk about the struggles of daily living in America.
These figures seem blissfully unaware of the anxiety that washes over you upon opening your electric bill, or the disheartening moment when you realize your regular prescription has become a financial burden due to “changes” in coverage.
This Thanksgiving, I’m offering every reader a gift: a 20% discount on a yearly subscription to PoliticusUSA—available through Black Friday only!
While former President Trump dreams of a world where gas is a mere two dollars a gallon, many of us flinch at the pump, cringing as we fill our tanks to visit loved ones this holiday season.
Interestingly, grocery prices dip during the holidays not due to benevolence but because supermarkets are willing to absorb losses in a desperate attempt to lure customers into their stores, only to raise prices in the new year. It’s a classic bait-and-switch, just dressed up in holiday cheer.
Amidst the relentless grind to merely survive, it’s easy to overlook the myriad of things we should appreciate. However, it’s crucial to remember that the struggles faced by many, which Trump and others in the media seem oblivious to, are real and pressing. His discussions about grocery prices might as well be about interstellar travel, given his apparent detachment from everyday realities.
My Thanksgiving wish for you is simple: for just one day, set aside the political noise. If you have sufficient food, savor every bite. If you’re surrounded by loved ones, cherish the laughter and warmth; these moments are the essence of life. I hope every reader feels a sense of safety and love today, which is truly what matters most.
These challenging times may soon witness a shift, as the current administration grapples with widespread discontent among the populace.
For our international readers who find today just another Thursday, my hopes for warmth and love extend to you as well.
Regular programming will resume on Friday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
