What’s happened since the January 6th Insurrection of 2021? Um, not much!
The lesser of two evils president has been in office for 351 days, and yet the country isn’t better off then a year ago.
American Progress: Meh
I don’t see progress being achieved in the United States at an acceptable speed. We’ve allowed corporate interests to hold us back from meaningful progress.
We the people have lost most of the political power the constitution provided for us. We lost those powers by allowing the two party system to divide us and corporate interests to actively work against progress and democracy.
Big business and Wall Street have undermined and destroyed our ability to defend against that which threatens the rights of the people.
Our elected representatives are no longer the unwavering great leaders we need. Our country’s heads of state, members of congress, and justices are corporate cronies, college roommates of establishment donors, elites, and career Washington insiders who focus primarily on corporate donors and corporate profits.
What’s happened since the Insurrection? Almost nada!
Elections aren’t a sign of democracy
Protests haven’t worked for decades. Writing, calling or emailing congress has zero effect. Voting has had a near zero effect on fixing the country or making progress. We keep kicking the can down the road, donating money to candidates and causes, putting bandaids on gaping wounds, and praying for the lesser of two evils to boldly lead beyond what their corporate handlers will permit. But we get no answer to our prayers.
It’s been exactly a year since the Insurrection and none of the key people involved in orchestrating the January 6th attack on the Capitol have been brought up on charges.
We the people have been doing this America thing for hundreds of years now. The old excuses for significant shortfalls of progress or important changes are no longer acceptable.
If you have some excuse you think is valid, I’m here to tell you it is not. You may have cognitive dissonance, or some form of the Dunning–Kruger effect, but there is no excuse for the United States to be is as in decline as it is, and not so perilously fragile either. There are “reasons” why, but not acceptable ones.
Sad state of affairs!
The people are waking up and they’re upset, depressed, angry, frustrated, disenchanted, disillusioned, and dissatisfied with our country’s gains, the lack of progress, the lopsided representation and reckless corruption. We’re fed up, pissed off, and at wits end.
It is no wonder that naïve, Dunning-Kruger inflicted people might storm the Capitol. We can’t even trust the media to tell the truth.
If we continue down this road this country is doomed. That’s if it isn’t already too late.
