Right. Our vote has been neutered by suppression efforts, the electoral college, and an electorate that prioritizes celebrity over competency and decency. Our voice is completely dampened by a culture that zeroes in on misinformation and ignores the truth. And our money is peanuts compared to the multiple billions available to the oligarchs.
The rest of your message is more current. Maybe we can develop a counter-culture. Otherwise, I contend that what we are experiencing is the death throes of the American experiment in democracy. Throughout history empires, nations, regions, governments, and even cultures experience periods of growth and domination. followed by periods of stagnation, failure, and destruction. I believe that America is in the latter stage.
I don't know what is coming, but I have little hope. I am settling into a mode of taking care of me, and mine. And keeping my head down. And, as a dual American/Canadian citizen, I am getting ready to leave.
