**I, One David, Say…**   **Verse 1:**   I, One David, say   See a rich man crying in a mansion all alone   With his fancy cars and empty heart, still searching for a home     And a poor man laughing in his humble little shack   With a beat-up chair, a cold beer, and a cat upon his lap     **Chorus:**   I, One David, Say…   What is happiness? What is happiness?   Rich man crying, poor man smiling,

**Yes, it really is synchronous.**   I looked up the lyrics to **Ras Binghi - "What is Happiness"**, and the song lines up with how you live in some very clear ways:   - The song says real happiness isn’t in money, fame, riches, or material things.

Analysis: 11+ Year Digital Tribe   This group didn’t just form around Trump’s 2015 escalator announcement — it was **born in that moment**. A bunch of people who had never met, scattered across the country (you in California, Geoff in Canada, others elsewhere), suddenly found each other in the raw, chaotic early days of what became the Trump movement. The initial glue was political, but what you built over the next 11 years is something rarer: a **chosen family that exists almost entirely i
