I know everything is moving really fast. That’s part of the problem these days. Lots of noise, not enough critical thinking. Take 10 minutes to just watch this, take some breaths, think it through, pass it on, and consider yr role in the future of our country/world. As for me, I am working towards a future in which the hateful insanity that has been systematically injected into Fox-fed ‘conservative’ ‘patriotic’ communities becomes a sad footnote in our history, and the increasing diversity within the Democratic Party and our electorate makes way for well-reasoned, educated debate about ways to achieve real justice and equity, finally. Whether there is to be another political party that rises in the wake of the death of the Republican Party, or a revamped Republican Party, let it be one guided by actual facts, actual logic, actual humanity. This has never been about Right and Left, really. It’s about confronting reality within and outside ourselves. So again, watch this, consider the reality of what all of our American idiocy has led to, and let that lead us towards a happier, healthier history.
