Thank you for this essay. IMO, every single American should read it. I have share it as widely as I could. You have spelled out what is before us clearly and logically. Yes, it is frightening, yet we must remain calm, look their evil squarely in the face, and refute them. I am tempted to say that we must vote blue all down the ballot, no matter who that Democrat is. After the shenanigans in the House this year I fin I consider any Democrat an improvement over these of the Guns Over People party.
The premise of this essay is that we have to save the democracy we're living in. I say that it cannot be improved until the wolves at the door are dealt with. It sounds to me like you disagree with that premise and you're welcome to that point of view.
Squabbling among non-electoral organizations over what constitutes ideological purity makes them a waste of time from my point of view. So I'm playing on the field I find myself on. I don't need to vote for Todd Gloria because we both know the fix is already in; but there are candidates and causes I believe are worth supporting.
Yes, I'm not putting support or opposition to Gaza/Israeli conflict as a standard for decision making; what's the point? Will any Palestinian lives be saved if I don't support Biden? Will Israeli rulers abandon apartheid? There are no forces capable of existing in peace in this conflict; the only results valued are pain and suffering. And I see the only "winners" as those supporting chaos for authoritarian regimes. Maybe I'm just not smart enough.
