Annabel Ascher: Man, you state it so very well and crisply here:
"Donald John Trump has only one talent: A charismatic ability to raise hate and discontent. And now he is old and diminished. In the world of the oligarchs, Musk far outranks him. A true multi-billionaire, the richest man in the world, over a conman of dubious assets. There should be no doubt about who is really running this train wreck."
Very much the truth, I am profoundly saddened to say. A country that was created as a rebellion against a corrupt monarchy has given the final seal of approval a monarchy/oligarchy the likes of which the world has never seen. Waving banners and red hats, they cheered their rulers on, and will no doubt continue as the country is sucked dry by Musk and others who will gleefully dance around as everyone else is desperately impoverished. Not to mention the planet itself.
I grew up in the Kennedy years, and although our country was never perfect, still, we inspired many, created important innovations, and it was a time of prosperity and hope. I'm glad I got to live in those years. I am sorry for my grandchildren, who will face a much different challenge.

This is where we are in a nutshell!
Thank you so very much for sharing!
