The rapidity with which this Trump administration moves — for those who had accepted incremental change, bureaucratic molasses and the long arc of justice as just par-for-the-course of the ‘democratic’ process and social progression in the US — those falsehoods and everything else that has been revealed in these last two months — is both mockery and insult added to our collective American (and global) actual injuries.
Capitalism and Neoliberalism paved the road for — and then engineered and constructed the super highway to, oligarchal fascism.
Thanks, Joe Biden,
and Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, CARTER, and Nixon — they all, co-created and co-dependently continued to enable the likes of Trump and Elon and Bezos and Buffet and Walton and Jobs and Gates and Ellison, and Private Equity™️
and thanks, to the sycophants in Congress, on the Court,
in the courts,
in Media,
and in Wealth, Retirement & Pension Management™️—

Most Americans didn’t care as long as their bank, portfolio and retirement accounts were fattening — and “They” threw in a occasional, stingied morsel — not even a lasting bone, of social liberal “progress” virtue credit with a healthy helping of American patriotism and exceptionalism.
And here, we are — stuck in an American rendition site built by our very own American misdirected in/tolerance, pain mitigation/redistribution, wrong-headed aspirationalism, and gluttonous hedonism.
the End.
