And, you think that Trump gives people hope? Be careful what you wish for. By the way, I do understand why he won coming from a small prosperous town that became a ghost town due to both parties adopting neoliberal free-market policies that gutted well-paying jobs. Too bad our “liberal” party is really right of center and basically offered the status quo. I agree that they haven’t listened to what people want and need. Giving billionaires free rein is not going to help any of them. Just wait and see.
I agree that leaving, especially if one is old, is ridiculous. Imagine being an immigrant in a country where you don’t understand the language and culture and their own right wing movement considers you the enemy. Deportation or worse.
I agree with you that it is too late to turn things around, especially as the war weapons as well as the hate and ability to use those weapons reside with the right-wing. As for “healing” our republic? Thanks for the laugh.
So, why isn’t Biden using his presidential immunity to address this grave danger to our country? If it wasn’t obvious during 45’s administration, it sure was more than obvious since the insurrection what was going to happen. I blame the “elite” for allowing this to happen by adopting neoliberal economic policies decades ago and allowing propaganda media to flourish. I think we are beyond the tipping point. Good luck turning any of this around; in fact, Trump has been running a parallel shadow government since he lost in 2020 and NOTHING has been done about the damage he and his minions have created. Forget about trying to address this via rule of law as Trump owns it now. It would take a hot civil war to turn this around and only if the more progressive side was lucky to win it. Just my opinion.
What happened? I blame forty years of neoliberal economic policies enthusiastically adopted by both parties gutting the jobs that paid well along with vast investment by libertarian billionaires in unfettered propaganda media at the local levels to influence elections that feed into the national level.
Shouldn’t that be in a bag?
