Only when we apply the same level of psychological insight to what happens within our collective psyche that we apply to our individual lives will we begin to break free of our abusive relationship to a political system that places its own wealth and power before any semblance of concern for democracy or the common good.

If a person we loved continually put us down in order to build themselves up, we would put our feelings aside in order to break free of that toxic relationship. #VultureCapitalism abuses us all in much the same way. It’s time we broke free. Fair translation?

I really believe this is why fear…fear for one’s own survival, through economic, physical political, societal, spiritual oppression… is the central governing principle around the globe. It -often- keeps society atomized and from looking beyond one’s self.

"Political system" Then stop with the curated nonsense. Stop trying to manipulate people in any way other than policy. Florida sucks. Stand in front of big US flag. Do a serious (and fine) interview. Stand in front of books. Run a different campaign. Sell ideas. Move people.

You give Americans far too much credit with regard to their understanding of their internal world. Americans are largely disconnected from themselves, others, and nature.

Agreed, but we also can't assume that democracy is the common good, if the people voting are immoral. We must heal the people with the good news and righteousness of God, and only then will our leaders also reflect that righteousness.
