The war we are fighting is based in a lot of history, not all of it American. Because every country at some point has had to deal with the want-to-be dictators, the kings, the selfish who want power, wealth and to have things their way only, who think of themselves as special and have no humility or understanding of how a successful society works. Our own young democracy deals with this periodically. All of the southern influence is important to understand because of its roots in people owning other people and how the owners are immoral about that fact. Republican Party has very much become that owner type and wants to run and ruin the whole country, and not just the ‘north’, for their own ends. It is very stupid to think and believe this way because people in general have always done better when they understand they are part of society and not separate from it, no matter what group they might be in.
Just about every war starts with these elements of inner behavior - people like this next president, who basically have never grown up and taken real responsibility as citizens. They become good at fooling the parts of the population that don't pay any attention to the importance of their own power as voters. They go to war for power, against their opponents who want peace and for things to run fairly and equitably.
Hiro, I hope this helps a little bit. Our job now as citizens is to grow and support the institutions that are healthy for the whole population, like libraries, schools, medicine, school boards, police, city county state legal bodies, who are at the roots of a democratic society that is trying to work for its own healthy good.
And the current about to be leaders have been elected by LYING to the voters. Just because they say something a 1000 times doesn't make it true but that's the way they stole this election. 2020 wasn't a stolen election but 2024 was.
I will bet that when all the investigations of the vast voter suppression are complete, that this election could very well have been stolen. I can't say that at this time with any degree of certainty. The Republican's long-game has proven to be effective. They got Roe overturned. And they have been effective in voter suppression.
Republicans made a big deal about voter suppression these past few years after the Supreme Court pillaged the Voting Right Act. A lot of people who didn't vote wanted to but were thwarted by the additional burdens to voting as well as the virulent hatred aimed at them.
We have a huge portion of the populace that has taken democracy for granted and has no appreciation of the blood and treasure spent defending it. The leaders, here to fore, were willing to sacrifice millions of lives and billions of dollars so we could vote and have a country by and for the people. Today, we have a population so ignorant as to willingly vote for a wannabe dictator.

STOP THE STEAL
Trump is first and foremost a grifter and a grafter. He is a master at marketing misinformation and disinformation.
He sells hate and fear which seems antithetical to marketing, but it works.
He makes people afraid of the boogie man that doesn't even exist.
Our duty is to break through the cognitive dissonance where it is being reinforced -- in churches and on social media and even in the corporate media.
You are so right. Goebbels said to lie, and repeat, repeat, repeat

It feels that way. Something feels so off.
Yes, that's a good phrase, "Something feels so off." It applies to many current responses to situations.

Thank you. Thank you so much for saying this.
My deep concern is that Americans have lost the will to fight for Democracy.
Worse than that, we have a huge segment of the population that doesn’t want democracy anymore. They have no idea what they are throwing away.
