Absolutely, all fantastic points! And thank you for linking. Is going to take a lot of time and work to turn this around.
I agree, it would be unfair and inaccurate to blame the current generation, when we have octogenarians still in office that won’t leave. It took generations of humans to get us to here, and that really is the point. We all thought that the system was supposed to work and people were going to follow the rules, but that didn’t happen. Most of us thought that there would be redundancies in place to stop this extreme situation from happening, but there wasn’t. And if there was, they didn’t work.
To your point, there have always been fascists in office. It’s not new. The groundwork was already laid when this admin got in there. That’s why it was so easy for all of this to happen.
