We are living in the era of mediocrity, and we got here [View all]

by design.

If you look at what Republicans are doing in Florida you can see that it's all about dumbing down the people to make them easier to manipulate. And they have also been effective in using chaos to neutralize the opposition. But these methods seem to be limited to our borders. I don't think that strategy is going to work on a global scale.

Foreign countries seem to have Trump's number. They know they can wait him out. Trump, under the best case scenario, will step down at the end of his term. Unfortunately, everyone can see that his policies are making our country weaker. Our enemies are fine with this. They are not going to step in to stop us from digging our own grave. And as far as our allies are concerned, they don't trust us anymore and are learning to live without us.

So, when we get the chance, we need to recognize what we've come through and fight for an education system that will ensure that the next generation is strong enough to avoid the mistakes that were made by MAGAs and those who stupidly voted for Trump. Because, God, the Right are so stupid, but they are also devious. They have made it this far using very little brainwork, but they're big on insults as well as unfounded accusations that rely on prejudice and stereotypes to stick in the minds of their supporters.

We may never come together in agreement as a country, so we might as well strengthen our foxholes and find a way to ensure that reason and logic prevails over fear and prejudice.
