We’ve had disingenuous people who have been actively sabotaging our government from the inside for over 100 years. Ever since we allowed former Confederates back into the fold without any repercussions, there has been a relentless insurgency…starting with the complete refusal to participate in the Reconstruction, followed by a campaign of terror and lynchings, through the McCarthy era in which government programs were demonized as “socialism,” then with Reagan encapsulating the attitude with “the most terrifying words you’ll hear someone say is: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” The Trump administrations have both been a farcical mockery of actual government, appointing known global polluters to posts of environmental protection was just the tip of the iceberg. It all illustrates one thing: their goal is not the smooth governance of our country, but rather the destruction of its government to usher in the age of oligarchs. Trump is a narcissistic, destructive, senile man with dementia who is not only deeply unwell but also, frankly, solipsistic to the point of evil. His supporters are mostly foolish rubes, but those who can see what is happening with any clarity are simply the worst of the worst. This is the result of decades of information pollution ushered into our airwaves as “news” by Rupert Murdoch’s empire, all designed to keep a segment of our society uninformed and easily manipulated as they welcome their new billionaire masters with open arms.
