Sadly, too many Americans fear “leftist takeover” and “libruls” in power more than increased chance of dying from all the diseases listed in this article. They can deny and deny away clean air, water, safe food, decent affordable healthcare, collective bargaining as a “commie” plot. Part willful ignorance and just a stubborn belief that conservatives will somehow magically make everything better is a safer mindset for them. Plus throw in racism and hate for everyone different than them and there you go- America’s white cristofascist party now showing up openly running for office near you.

I have the (possibly insane) hope that there is a great awakening taking place in America, and elsewhere in the world, and the frauds that have been perpetrated upon us are becoming so plain and undeniable that there will soon be a great shift in the power structure. The awakened (not to be confused with "woke," though it certainly includes many of them as well) are set to demand that the promises we've been told this country represents be at last fulfilled. We may come out of this election in better shape than the pundits and prognosticators were guessing a few months ago, and I can envision a totally different country by the end of the decade - one that will go beyond anything we have known in the past. But, as I said, I may be insane....
