Perhaps this is justice. There are too many of us, too complacent, too indifferent, and yes, too powerless. The great cull may lie ahead, nuclear or otherwise. But with regret and concern for our beloved grandson, I think we will go all too willingly into the abyss, or numbly so. Not many will exercise the Mangione option, in part because to do so admits that our system doesn’t work. Guess what, though? It no longer does. It has been thoroughly gamed by the morbidly rich. Having done the best to provide for our grandson, for very different reasons my wife and I yearn for the peace of the grave. I utterly loathe what this country and much of the world have become, and history shows that given a choice, our species takes the toxic alternative far more often than not. Dr. King’s arc is not bending favorably anymore. It is lying broken, unlikely ever to revive. Happy New Year indeed, Undeserving Satraps of America. We will not be celebrating.
Every so often, something reminds me of the horrifying feeling I had at the end of "The Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis. He is a child psychologist with a child client who says, "I see dead people." The Willis character realizes at the film's end that he has been dead for a while. I remember the sensation but not all of the plot.
Thom's newsletter reminds me because I'm afraid we have already lost our democracy. In Noam Chomsky's speech of 13 years ago, the "Class War" speech, he discusses countries with a form of democracy with elections, such as the U.S., which doesn't really have democracy. Thom is correct that we need grassroots movements to reverse the oligarchy's power back to the people. We may need several movements that eventually unite. We must think of "class war" instead of "culture war."
Yes Ms. Maloney, as usual you are correct. "Culture war" is an intentional distraction which allows Democratic politicians to claim they are battling for the little people; all the while refusing to take on the wealthy donor class who supports them. It is no doubt noble-appearing to fight for the well being of disadvantaged minorities. But those minorities are only a fraction of all of us who are suffering. It is furthermore easy for the haters to use the tactic of divide and conquer as a response to "culture war." The reification of "cancel culture" proclaimed by the Right is a beautiful example.
Mr Shults, you sound much like Thomas Hobbs. I never have agreed with his universal claim that "the life of man is solitary, nasty, brutish and short." Things do currently look dark. I too fear for the future my children and grandchildren face. But I still believe in The Mahatma Gandhi and our own Martin Luther King Jr.
Hopefully we have plan, first Democrats have stop referring to Republicans as friends. They are out to destroy America, if we stand by to watch the corrupt take over of our Country, then maybe we deserve to have a dictatorship. They are coming for you too.

Try Canada. Not being sarcastic.
What is truly mind boggling is WHY people are allowing Trump anywhere near the White House.
Given that everyone knows what he is and that the election was probably tampered with WHY would people just go ahead because someone said he "won."
Pretending a democratic election is madness.
He should have never be allowed to stay on the ballot. Watching Republicans set this up for years is truly insane.
The reality is VP Harris should have contested the results.
Why are people so anxious to obey in advance?
The President of the United States does not
(should not) come with license to any damn thing they want. Take care, and go somewhere somewhere else if you can.💕
