CloudWatcher's JournalCriminal Co-Conspirators
I believe we should all start referring to the GOP Senate by their proper titles: Criminal Co-Conspirators.
They are not just letting Trump off the hook for his criminal acts ... they all expect to benefit from his crime sprees.
Trump is not the real problem.
Of course, Trump and his sycophants are horrific.
But Trump is a symptom, not the problem.
Remember why they are in power.
Remember who put them there.
Hint: We should not just blame Trump.
Focus on the cause.
There will always be narcissists and demagogues.
There will always be con artists, grifters and crooks.
There will always be truly evil people willing to do anything for power.
But ... who is to blame for Trump?
Blame income inequality that allows dynasties.
Blame the news media for selling us entertainment instead of news.
Blame the "both sides" and "whatabout" reporters that haven't a clue.
Blame our election system that allows billions of dollars worth of free TV exposure.
Blame TV viewers that can't distinguish a con from a scholar.
Blame our education system that fails to teach critical thinking.
Blame politicians that choose power over country.
Blame religion that teaches faith in autocracy.
Blame everyone that accepts dogma over science.
Hold them all accountable. Make them change.
Make us change.
We'll always have Trumps and Putins and Erdoğans. We need not allow them power.
We must learn from our mistakes and change what is wrong.
Quickly. Because we are running out of time.
It's different this time. It's not just our governments at stake. It's the Earth.
Without real change, disaster is unavoidable. We may have already passed the tipping point.
If we fail, our children's grandchildren will broil. Or drown. Or starve.
The clock is ticking.
Make a difference. Pick something that is most important to you.
Review your skills. Grow them. Join with others.
Get angry. Stay angry. Fight.
Fix the system so that it is robust in the face of intolerance, corruption and science denial.
Fight as if you can hear the childrens' screams.
