What happens next? In one corner we have a Democrat in the executive branch and a slim majority in a fairly dysfunctional senate, impeded as it is by a ridiculous filibuster system and two DINOs.
In the other corner we have a completely dysfunctional incoming House, ruled now by MAGA, a powerful and almost entirely illegitimate SCOTUS, a sold out press that is ineffective at best and malicious at worst, a moderate population of MAGA cult members and whites supremacists who rightly believe a dictatorship will make them more comfortable.
And beneath it all, the cold hand of the corporate oligarchs who would be happier with a fascist state as long as they are running it, and as long as it does not impede their bottomless greed.
We won a few lately, and in war every victory in battle should be celebrated. Then we need an honest assessment and a solid strategy for winning the entire war.
Things don’t look so good right now. But the tides of war turn in strange ways. It did not look so good for the allied forces in 1942 either. Nor in ‘43. But in the end, the allies prevailed.
How are WE to prevail?
