Only four...? Oh how I wish I had your optimism, Walter!

But definitely a great post. Thank you for helping to keep me grounded and semi-sane the past few weeks; it's been very much appreciated.

Thanks Bren! I'm conflicted between raging about this and trying to find some sort of mental equilibrium. We're all just treading water right now.

Thank you for these thoughts, Walter... This was excellent...

"American public stands by and cheers as their rights are stripped away from them in pursuit of an authoritarian ideal because they've been brainwashed to obey divine authority."

...

"But authoritarianism has never in the history of humankind functioned."

...

"They're taking us back to a time of failure and misery and oppression, cheering and chortling all the while."

...

"A plurality of the voting public elected to turn our national ideology to supporting the undeserving rich, even though at no point have the rich ever demonstrated any kind of willingness to help the general public."
