Edward R. Murrow on McCarthy:
We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason.Yes we will, and yes we are - so full of fear that a we have put an incompetent, dishonest, immature, mentally ill sociopath man-child in the White House. Actually, "we" didn't do it. Trumpers did it with the help of rabid Bernie Sanders fans.
At best, the right-wing agenda is going to dismantle parts of our democracy that have taken decades and even centuries to achieve. All under the guise of being things that will create more jobs. Ummm, just look at history and see how that approach does NOT work. The only thing that putting more money into the hands of the uber-wealthy ever does is make the wealthy wealthier. It doesn't trickle down, people. It never has. It never will.
At worst, Trump and along with his sidekicks Bannon-Himmler and Miller-Goebbels are in the midst of creating a dictatorship based on their white supremacist views, likely in collusion with Russia, and the right wingers who currently control the House and Senate are so intent on pushing through their "feed the rich" agenda that they are ignoring the warning signs.
I wonder how many years it will take to undo the damage that this is doing to our country.
Love, Mothra |
