You are so right Steven, we would need a collection of both democrats and republicans who talk about values and truths, and constructive future.
I was thinking that if we would like some of the followers of Trump to see the light, (!) and appreciate truth, then being more at peace and constructive might attract them.
Always great hearing you two talk about what’s happening. It’s helpful getting the news from TV, including when Steven is on MSNBC for example, but it’s uniquely helpful in this kind of more personal style. It’s somehow more comforting and empowering, it feels more like we’re in it together. Glad you’re doing it, Liza.
Today’s Republicans are led by a principle of party discipline. On that basis they have devoured their own in successive purges based on attributing key toxic phrases to those some would have purged. This is how Bolsheviks purged Kerensky and others to establish what was in the end a unified authoritarian regime.
It hardly matters, this imaginary left or right, this fictitious aisle in today’s congress. The methods and purpose are the same. Autocratic rule driving principles that are nothing stated, not Republican, not Conservative, not Christian, simply self serving to an elite. Most private and lesser well funded public businesses will be absorbed into monopolies that run the State. We might become like Brazil. But no! Worse. What we haven’t imagined until now.
Thanks for this. It's much needed.
