You elucidated the ills of our time! What we are facing has been 40 years in the making by the extreme right. Your treatise reminds me of Robert Reich's video, which I recently watched, entitled "10 Biggest Myths About Our Economy." Reich posits that tRump is not the cause of the crisis we find ourselves in. He is the symptom. The bottom line is that economic inequality is anathema to democracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ3j4hHMO5E

I can see all obstacles in my way. Obstacles will only be surmountable hills when the people say ENOUGH. With the mainstream media in cahoots, with healthcare broken, with the tax codes broken, with exploitation of the bottom on the rise, we are about to storm those hills. I am researching FDR’s lovely embrace of his second bill of rights. I almost feel like he is the father of Democratic ideals for which we should fight. It is up to us to make it happen, and to right the wrongs. 2026.
