That’s a tough one. We let our economy get too top heavy and the wealthy are no longer limited to having their properties in only one country. When I saw conservatives forming a web of powerful groups I became alarmed and I wrote about it but since I sit in the cheap seats my voice was barely a whisper. When Evangelicals joined with conservatives I became even more worried. When the Supremes decided that corporations are people and allowed unlimited political donations it seemed we would do more than just complain. I watched all the obstruction in Congress and I thought there would be a popular outcry. When the Supreme Court got packed with Trump appointees I knew the coup was practically over and then Trump lost in 2020, staged an insurrection and it was treated as a nothing burger and I despaired. We have let things go so far that I’m not sure there is a way back unless Trump’s peeps finally become disenchanted with him and his billionaire crew. The courts might bring some accountability except that Trump’s true genius is knowing how to play legal games. My hope is that these guys will get too far out over their skis and will sabotage themselves.
😥 I'm with you, Nancy.
Thanks Paula. I know we are in good company.
