Then I fear that the US will soon become a dictatorship in all but name. I don’t see how this can be prevented. One thing is certain, however: in a repressive autocracy, there will be many more, much more tangible reasons to put up with everything the rulers do.
I share this fear. I had hoped at some point the people would have had enough.
I think at first I considered it some great failing in my fellow countrymen. While that may play some part, I’ve found it more instructive to understand this moment as a result of a very intentional project.
It’s the kind of project that wealth allows you to pursue. Institutions like the heritage foundation and fix news cost money, but the return on that investment can’t be beat. It took a couple decades to bend the world to their will but the results are astounding.
You have the exploited championing their own exploitation. Extolling the virtues of those that take from them. They protect the very systems that harm them, and at this point are so indoctrinated that they can not fathom any other way of arranging things.
At every step down this road there was someone whose duty was to stop it but found it more profitable to stand aside. And now I fear we are too late to stop it

It will not be something we can fix in our lifetime.
All we can do is build foundations for our descendants to hopefully build into a legitimate resistance effort.
