How did We Get Here - Thoughts

I have never in my life feel so unsettled about the world. The chaos being sown, the misery being spread - why. Some can explain the dUmpster's naturally vindictive and adoration of disruption/destruction in his rush for grift and power, and even project 2025. But there is something more...there was an earlier post about the link between Eloon and Puti. How Eloon came to the dumpster's assistance in the presidential race late. These two are buddies and sick individuals who no longer believe the rules are meant for them. I do believe Puti stole the election for the rump with elons help. I am thinking that puti was going to invade Ukraine back in 2020 and believed dumpy would still be in the White House. If that had happened, dumpy would say it is not up to us to help Ukraine and that would have been it, and out of Nato. But chump lost, yet he still tried to say in power with the Big Lie at whatever cost.

I believe puti said to himself - we are going ahead. The world said 3-days to get Ukraine to fall, and 3-years later the Russian economy is tanking, but not puti's desire for control. His plan requires he keeps dumpy going. This chaos is intended to wreak havoc on the western economies and that I believe is puti's goal, just the same for us as Brexit for the British. Oh, and getting chump to talk about annexing Canada or Greenland or the Panama Canal trying to normalize this bs and his grab of Ukraine.

Listening to Canadian Prime Ministers, Trudeau et. al., there is no legitimate basis for the tariffs. Our media doesn't say shit. This should be shouted from the rooftops. It would appear the only thing to remove this stain will be a collapse. They will be buried also.

So how did we get here. Too few people with too much power. A slow and insidious fall, and well planned by the reThuglicans and evangelicals. How do we get out. Not so sure the institutions will protect us without the support of We the People - It is up to Us. Oh, and no more moving to the center. The planet and us have no time.

Because like the old saying, "empty cans rattle the loudest". The internet amplifies the rattling of empty cans.
