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.”
As shown here, we live in a society that glorifies the very worst traits of the human animal and seems to be on a rocket ride to its own destruction.
Ignorance has terrific value to the billionaire class. If you’re filthy rich, you really don’t want a nation full of people learning that pure market capitalism is, by its very nature, exploitative, or that the consumption of fossil fuels is destroying our planet’s capacity to support life.
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are exceptionally good at focusing the MAGA base on problems that don’t exist.
What bathrooms should trans people use? Well, before we work ourselves into a frenzy, let’s ask ourselves if this is an issue that is really harming the good people of this nation.
Keep in mind that 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and are struggling to afford groceries.
