Dear Americans:
You're being slowly cooked like a bunch of lobsters, and you're just letting it HAPPEN?

@Eetschrijver The time-honored fascist ploy has always been: lie to the poor and undereducated by othering the even-more defenseless. In the case of current-era USA, the crippling of our public education system began in earnest during Reagan's first term, though it had been seriously bandied about for at least a decade prior. This became supercharged with the advent of social networking, and thus the rollout of quick-and-easy mass psy-ops.

@Eetschrijver By the time soon-to-be m aga chuds were seriously discussing chemtrails and flat-Earth theories, they new the time was right for a no-nothing demagog like T rump, and now 11 years later, here we are. Try not to forget, though, that these people are not a majority. True there were enough of them to facilitate this idiocy, but most people here know this is all a market-manipulation scheme.

@Eetschrijver Now our votes hardly matter, because since the SCOTUS passed 'Citizens United', even our left-wing is now thoroughly corrupt with corporate patronage and filthy AIPAC blood-money.

@Solomon_G It's been a long time coming, that's for sure. Although I feel pretty sure that this has now gone further than even Reagan would have wanted.

@Eetschrijver Yes - much, much further. I stop short of thinking all is lost, but at least the remainder of my lifetime is looking bleak.

@Solomon_G I know. I'm desperately trying not to think of this all the time.
