Thom, this isn't just an American fight.

"Instead, it’s because a small group of rightwing billionaires didn’t want to pay their taxes, wanted to get rid of their unions, and didn’t want regulation of the pollution from their refineries and other operations... They put billions of dollars over five decades into a project to seize control of the legislatures of a majority of the states, jam up the US Congress, and pack the Supreme Court — and it was all about taxes, unions, and regulation."

It's a global fight, and needs to be fought globally. The fate of democracy is at stake everywhere. We need a one decade project to prevail over the fascists.

We need to talk. We must vote. Sometimes we need to protest. All fatal distractions if we don’t address the root causes. Humanity needs a Plan B. https://www.boombigideas.com/p/yesbut-we-need-to-talk-we-must-vote

Does this resonate at all? Or am I crazy?

Brilliant and comprehensive. I just want to add that there is one other industry besides gun manufacturers that enjoy immunity and that would be the nuclear industry.
