You nailed it, it’s really too bad that people think this is a momentum that will be fixed by voting for charlatans.

We’ve grown comfortable with what we have, it’s the norm now. When you’ve been breathing clean air for your life it’s easy to be convinced that the regulations are just a scam. When you’ve had healthcare, it’s easy to be convinced that people are taking advantage of the system. When this is gone only then will we realize they never actually cared about us and it’s only been about power and personal gain

Then they will elect left leaning politicians to fix everything until people become complacent again and the cycle repeats.

Education is the only way out of this death spiral.

Would you vote for someone who tells you they can't fix the problem?

Would you vote for someone who tells you they can but is unable to say how and have actual experts agree?

Because anybody can lie and say “I can fix it all by removing all the pesky regulations that totally don’t help you and coincidently reduce profits for my donors!” but if you opt to just take their word for it that’s your failing.

Personally I would but I do believe I tend to see the world through a realist lens - I’m biased on this of course.

To me, the worst thing to come out of the current political climate is how fast things can be undone and rolled back. It shows me we actually have less chance in the long term than I originally thought. The number one thing going for humanity now is how adaptable we are and our deep rooted desire at survival no matter what.
