If the Trump forces prevail then the American death wish will inexorably take the nation down the path of authoritarianism. It ironic beyond the pale that politician on both sides still talk about the US as being the bastion of democracy...the "shining house on the hill" the home of the free and all that jingoistic blabber that sops the average American into stupid thinking, you know that definition, ignorance coupled with no commonsense. When you face the truth that this nation founded by white masonic slave owners who were in essence rebels you co0me to an understanding that it is a nation of lies built upon more lies and societal myths. America is ripe for the taking. Americans are tired, fractured and failing. The people cling to the myths when all around the globe, countries are far surpassing them in science and development. The Disunited States has found itself at a precipice. Its leaders are paralyzed, it people subject to continued lies and myths. They are flummoxed by a unreasoning belief in God, nurtured by by evangelical terrified whites who see their dominance waning as the color of America changes their land. Survival lies within a belief that solutions must come from a central place. This leads to a desperate populace willing to allow leadership that feels good and requires little thought or effort. The Us is in that place now. This is not going to end well for them.Wayne Miles Underhillhttp://wayneunderhill.canoreply@blogger.com
