It’s true that those in fear of being called “libtards” by hateful morons are under attack here in the most terrible days of the American republic.  But you certainly wouldn’t rather be one of these idiots, would you?

Long after the MAGA Trump supporters and the neo-Nazis have faded away, this world will still honor and reward people who can think and make contributions to our society.

A Tough Time?

I join those who say that the human race has evolved to be tribal and selfish. We are largely indifferent to the needs of others, and the capitalist society we’ve built has only served to reenforce this.

As Tom Waits observed, “We’re monkeys with money and guns.”

Now, are there some extremely decent and kind people spread around the globe?  Of course.  But they tend not to be the billionaires who make all the important decisions as to the how our culture will conduct itself.

Why Are We Doing This?

Well, never is a long time, as they say.

Yet imagine this scenario, which is quite possible:

Trump is impeached and removed.  Almost immediately, there is an incredible outpouring of information on an additional set of crimes committed by Trump and his administration.  Simultaneously, the U.S. morphs into a social democracy, and its people enjoy quality education, access to healthcare, and prosperity, not unlike those in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the globe.

Yes, there will always be Republicans promising mass deportations and whatever else appeals to a dwindling MAGA base, but I would think they will have one hell of a hard time winning a national election.

Is ir Possible that Republicans “Will Never Win Again?”
