Here we are, Black Friday, officially Christmastime now. America is in a sour mood. Grocery prices are up, and so are energy prices. Donald Trump lies incessantly about both. The American people are onto him. They’re pessimistic about the future.
The distrust goes way beyond the economy. Over these last few weeks, ever since the government shutdown, it’s finally begun to sink in on people that Trump and his entire administration are a bunch of raging ideologues or incompetents or both, peddling a fantasy version of their strength that people no longer buy. There’s no longer any doubt about it: The MAGA crack-up has begun.
And what exactly makes you think America will instead go the other way, instead of going further down into authoritarian and fascism?
November 4th this year gave me a glimmer of hope. It’s not guaranteed but I’m feeling like this…
Nothing, we’re not going to do anything useful about it. The best we’ll do is vote in rigged elections to no avail.
And even if we somehow turn the tides slightly, we won’t keep it going. We’re the kings of resting on our laurels.
