I think over and over about the book Dark Money, which uncovered the layers of conniving throughout our institutions, not just in Congress and SCOTUS, but universities, religions, and media. At first it focuses on the Koch brothers, but it is a world wide phenomenon with white male oligarchs and other authoritarians, including Putin, at the helm.
Dark Money shook me to my core. Like toxic, invasive weeds, the roots are deep and intertwined. While we were working hard and playing by the rules, our values and decency were being choked out by these monsters.
Exactly! We play by the rules and they play Lucy holding Charlie Brown's football. Right now, am thinking about Mitch McConnell and Supreme Court nominees. Or free speech vs. Fox News. Or now-you-see States' Rights, now you don't. On and on.
Don’t overlook the decades of propaganda that have manipulated these minds.
