This all could have gone so differently. We could have had an intelligent, compassionate, and fair-minded president, yet we opted for one on the most disgusting human beings ever to have walked the planet, And of course, we knew exactly what we were buying into.
In hindsight, it’s clear that the Democrats took too much for granted. Instead of pushing the facts into the faces of lifelong Republicans, we erroneously presumed that American voters had some level of ethical sensibilities.
Had I been advising Harris’s campaign, I would have said, “We have a choice to make, principally between honesty and criminality. But it’s also a question of this: Do you want to be ruled with a small cadre of greedy billionaires who couldn’t care less about you or American democracy? You re-elect Trump, and the vision of the Founding Fathers will be crushed to smithereens.”
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking.
That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who believe that liberals hate our country and are trying to destroy it.
