Like you, Robert, I spent 2021 focused on the major themes: Democracy, public health, climate change and family.

Like you, Robert, I spent 2021 focused on the major themes: Democracy, public health, climate change and family. I was under no illusions, in 2016, seeing Trump winning as soon as HRC opened her mouth and uttered those three terrible words: "Basket of deplorables". I also knew his reign would be terrible, with his one great accomplishment in life having been building ONE skating rink in New York, "on time and under budget"-back in the 1980s. Thus, the events of January 6 came as no surprise-nor have the subsequent attempts by a blinkered pseudo-elite to cement their grip on power. The SOLE THING that will keep Republicans from oblivion is the persistence of corporate media in promoting their shared lies. That's fine; those of us who are intelligent enough to think on our own and do for ourselves will have work to do, this coming year and beyond. We'll get it done-the NYTs, Fawks Snoozes and WaPos of the world notwithstanding. Happy New Year, to you and family!
Thanks, Gary. I agree that the media is propping up the illusion that the GOP is a legitimate party in the American political landscape--as opposed to an organization devoted to the overthrow of the Constitution. On that happy note, Happy New Year!
Yes, Gary. The misinformation is a challenge we must address. Reuters story yesterday highlights the dark side: Anatomy of a Death Threat. It seems like the incredible following of misinformation offered up by FOX and others which has people mesmerized by pundits with malice intent. We must continue to follow Robert’s advice and good resources to counter the misinformation. We can do this as a collective with purpose - restore our constitutional government and democracy. Thank you.
