The
scientific and intellectual, "elite," that had some folks
just flustered towards the edge of their, "flat Earth," got
together with the racists and voted... Progressive, liberal
and, "neo-liberals," quietly coalesced in the comfort that
Hillary Rodham Clinton would continue on a familiar enough course;
didn't vote like we had for Obama.
In pursuit of actual equal
protection under the law someone came up with the unfortunate slogan,
"defund the Police." What was meant was that we had
to reallocate tasks so that a social worker could be available for a
social problem, rather than calling the police when things become a
social disturbance.
Now, some say we must give up the word,
"socialism," because it's scary. No, we must bring
Civics classes back to public (socialist) schools, so that folks are
taught the shades of socialism; the difference twixt socialism and
communism. Many, including a great number of folks who made a
career in the military (an enormous, government owned and operated,
"socialist," collection of organizations; the VA/Walter
Reed is socialist medicine), don't even want to hear that they,
effectively, worked for the government all their lives... Some
worked, with me, for the public (socialist) school system after their
years of service in the (socialist) military.
It should be as
clear as the paved roads, that are pretty omnipresent in the USA,
that socialism isn't frightening. Many will have to learn to
adjust if Biden/Harris, and the Democrats down the ballot, win.
Those that successfully resist the knowledge will forget the details
when a Green New Deal makes their lives better; till the next
election.
