The Potential of Recreating Democracy in the USA

My parents, Greatest Gen, were teachers and they could afford a house, with initial help from parents...  My wife and I, Boomers, could afford a house, in 2001, for less than 30% of our household income, after the initial help (on our first home), from our parents...  can’t do that now.

You, more recent generations, can not do that either, even if we, parents, help.

This is a symptom of a problem that started over 40 years ago when wealthy oligarchs, aristocrat  wannabes, got ticked that the world was not bowing at their beck and call, so they bought the Republican party (created the Republican criminal syndicate - RCS) and eventually got a grifter in chief elected to be President; twice.

I will not tell you the Democrats were innocent, but they mostly cooperated by not resisting, not recognizing, that the ground was being moved beneath their, our, feet.

In 2016 our, USA, allies’ intelligence agencies reported listening/tapping communications, from their Russian bureaus, and they picked up information being exchanged twixt Russia and the offices of Trump family business locations; likely our own intelligence agencies knew this also. Reaction in the USA: crickets.

A book, “Project 2025,” was published, prior to the 2024 elections, that outlined specific details of what the aristocrat wannabes wanted from a second merde l’orange term in the White House; “1984,” made real.  Reaction: crickets.   

Democracy was ours to loose…  and we let it slip away.

Government, when it works, functions in the background and is boring.  So, too many of us took government for granted, forgetting that democratic government is neither a self-starter, nor is it self-sustaining; stopped voting…

This is how we lost democracy in the USA!

People are starting to pay attention to government, after we lost democracy.

Too many people had stopped paying attention when they got used to government working quietly, in the background, largely fulfilling it's role: making everything work reasonably well.

See: USA’s economic history, from 1946 to 1976, when the largest, most productive, most innovative and equitable economy in the world was functioning.  Socialism, Keynesian government spending, were key building blocks to said economy.

DEI is true meritocracy, because it creates an economy where every qualified person can compete for everything all the time.  The economy grows and prospers when everybody can participate; live in all around, reasonable comfort.

VOTE!  Let's get our democracy back.  The future is ours to determine.
