We are in for the fight of our lives...
If it was not obvious before, it is surely clear as shit now, with all the noise coming out of the right after sham trial central stuck two fingers up at the rule of law, that there is a significant minority of the population in the States that are fully engaged with dictatorship as model for future governance. Many don’t realise it of course, they wear their ‘patriotism’ literally on their MAGA hats and in their voting habits. They need to believe the rhetoric that the impeachment was an anti-democratic exercise rather than recognise the truth that they are more than comfortable with the destruction of the checks and balances to power that have been such a cornerstone of the American success story. What the senate has done on behalf of the mad man in the WH is really not that interesting to them, as long they can turn more profit, pay less tax etc et al. Couple this with a belief that justice is only for the other, because the powerful patriarchal leaders who reflect them, are them, can do no wrong since they are white supremacist right and therefore the laws of the land does not apply.
We have the fight of our lives for the world’s leading nation to be what it needs to be, both for themselves and for the rest of the world this decade.
There can be no quarter. Biff. Baff. Uppercut.
