The government of the United States is just an abject failure and has been for years. Just pitiful in every possible regard.
The Republican Party has blocked literally every attempt at progress by resorting to the most base-level, primordial appeals to fear and racism imaginable and it’s just been the most disgusting gambit played. What a complete farce.
The GOP and their ghoulish propaganda networks have mortgaged any livable, sustainable future for short term profits and fascistic power. It is a pox on the political system, an absolutely cursed body that set the table for this pandemic and is now trying to profit off it.
When I was researching my new book American Rule I kept expecting to find new nuance to explain Republican and corporate action. All I found was more damning evidence. More craven politicking and maneuvering. It’s so much worse that it even seems.
I wish there was something more to it than Republicans and corporate bosses seeking power and profit over human dignity. But there’s not. It’s the truth. And until we reject this poisonous garbage and demand something real and decent we’re doomed. Just doomed.
