We have had generations of mostly stable government without the experiences of authoritarian rule, unlike South Korea and Brazil. We have become spoiled and complacent.

Meanwhile we kill folks all over the world. millions ns dead by our war interventions everywhere. Millions suffering under our sanctions. Millions suffering here in the USA. Over worked/under played. A living wage would be nice. A roof over our heads. Good on the table. Health care Education. The preveleged are very content but always want more. The not so privileged are very ill content. The American ethos of liberty, freedom, democracy have been usurped to the privileged not to the people. Embrace capitalism. Don't you just love it. Its working for you. Right?

The feeble responses of the Justice department and the court system to Trump's illegal behavior are both shocking and frightening. As a nation, we appear to be totally unprepared to stop any wealthy individuals who want to take over and destroy what's left of our democratic system of government. We are on our way to oligarchy, not representative democracy.

The outgoing administration was pretty tough when it came to defenseless women and children in Gaza but not so much on the internal co-conspirators of an insurrection!

Every vote cast by the electoral college is as unconstitutional as if Trump were not born a citizen. Today, Congress persons will violate their oath and confirm the vote of the Electoral College. The Constitution is the supreme Law of the Land, not the supreme Court, not even winning an election. https://nevinhoraceoliphant.substack.com/p/our-constitutional-republic?r=3sr22y
