appears to me that fear and it's cousins anger and hate are the emotions that led to our current mess.
maga. if you're fearful of the future, don't worry old trumpy will roll back the calendar to an imaginary past of milk and honey. huge corporations gave you a job for life if u could stand the grinding tedium. (Take This Job and Shove It
by johnny paycheck). black and brown peeps knew their place. men were men and real women stayed home drinking just a little wine and eating diet pills b4 tugging on girdles and panty hose. cities with the most unhealthy air and
water were the places to get a job. the homeless, queers, and the just poor were never or seldom seen. autos, oh those beautiful cars of the 50's and 60's. trade it in or rebuild the engine around 90k, bias ply tires were good
for slipping and sliding for 25k if they didn't blow out first, tune-up every 12k, boiling over radiators, vinyl seats and no a/c. no baby seats, airbags or any safety engineering. but they certainly could and did assist in suicide by exhaust
breathing.
fear of the future on the scale that exists in murica right now could easily be a big nail in our collective coffin. decisions made based on interpretations of a 2k yo book instead of science is like saying, "No really, you Chinese, Indians, Euros
take the lead in tech, medicine n genetic research, and living sociably. We're busy getting great again. Lots to do. Definitely more lots than the world has ever seen."
this fear is what I dislike most about this nation. it's so fucking easy to think that a return to a simpler time is possible and would be advantageous. looking to a Abrahamic religion as a model for laws and politics leads to Inquisition and Jihad.
trumpy leads the fearful in their hope for a non-future.
