It's a new year, and like the reality of most new years, it looks remarkably like the previous year.
The world has rising fascism, rising natural disasters, unrelieved climate change continues, and the most corrupt US president ever--worse than Nixon, worse than Reagan at his most senile, worse than Andrew Johnson and worse than Andrew Jackson. If you took the worst of each of those guys, you would get trump.
And we, the civilized we, the government we, the we that includes every person that voted against the Donald; we, are sitting on our hands. We are waiting for the Justice system to work. We are believing the "we the people" part about our country. We are relying on "equal justice under the law" and the rule of law to deal with a man that never met a law he wouldn't break---for a profit, for attention, for likes on social media, and he is actively campaigning to run for president, again, after arranging an insurrection, after stealing classified government documents, after attempting to have clerks, judges, district attorneys and anyone trying to hold him accountable for his actions disabled through his cultish followers desire to please him.
It has been 3 years!
No criminal resembles the behavior of Trump more than Charles Manson and his "family". No dictator resembles the behavior of Trump more than Hitler.
But we, the "we" I already described are handling him much like a handwringing old lady that is afraid of being seen as rude.
Come on, 2024. Don't be the last year of the country with high ideals, equality, equal opportunity, equal justice, and freedom---not just for the white and christian, not just for the white, male, and straight, and certainly not just for the top 2% financially.
Let the great experiment continue to improve the lives of ALL OF US!
