I never fully realized until now that we do constitute a power. Much of our power has been unrealized, but it is there.
I saw it in Minneapolis. I am seeing it in the Epstein files reaction.
I am also seeing how bad government by dictatorship or elites can be.

Before I saw democracy as my preferred form of government, now I am seeing that a true democracy is going to be necessary for the human race to continue.
