Sorry Sonny, but we have got to stop laughing and joking and looking to blame ourselves for what is happening...I am sick and tired about the attacks on "Dems" (not one myself but do believe in the Democratic process). How about putting out real information to help people see what is happening and how it is happening so they can fight back? I'm looking for input on the situations happening around me so I can do something constructive to help turn the tides...snarky, self-important jibes at Democrats or anyone else trying to help stop this wave of autocracy is not helpful. I'm sure you have heard the saying ..."united we succeed, divided we fall". Your contributing to the fall in my opinion by your constant search and writing on subject matter that has no constructive purpose. I am going to share a quote by Wm Vogt from his1948 book "Road to Survival".
"It is no accident that authoritarian groups of all stripes consistently oppose freedom of education, and advocate unchecked reproduction." Just a snippet of what can be shared and pondered in order to educatate.
My take on the podcast was about how we got here! For me, the podcast tracks back into the 90s and shows how our culture believed these ridiculous things that have led to voting in ridiculous people and a propensity to believe ridiculous things. Yes, I think we all agree with how horrible it all is and how Trump is etc. - but it's time we started looking at how we got here! To me, this *might* help us understand how to get out of it (though I have less and less hope about that). It's a fascinating cultural shift and impact and can also be horrific right now - AT THE SAME TIME.
I admit that I've only gotten 9 minutes in so far, and I'm puking with disgust at these giggling privileged idiots.
Well at least youтАЩre listening!
