American democracy, for all its historical flaws, still yet fits Lincoln's description of "the last best hope of earth." Many have struggled & died for it, and those who deliberately mock it, misuse it, or exploit it for personal gain will experience a decisive karmic blowback.

You are presuming we still have a democracy. What I see is wealthy politicians allowing lobbyists, special interest & big donors write our laws which benefit only them. No hearings, no analysis, no Dem support. Smear campaigns & state propaganda (FOX). This is not democracy.

We're functioning as a plutocracy now, it's true, but we need to do more than whine about it. We need to get busy! We need to use the midterm elections in 2018 to begin a huge course-correction.

Make calls, vote in every election. Local elections are where it starts. This is not the time to wait.

I am heartsick today, about the endless greed and lack of humanity of this administration & its supporters. That said, I do believe it will end. A new, kinder & more compassionate world is waiting to be ushered in. We are awake. And so it is.

I'm not sure I buy that fully. Might we actually be due for some karmic blowback? Hopefully not. We need to get our leadership and our self-awareness centered again.
