Stain

The wheels are starting to fall off the FOX News bus which only bodes well for American democracy. Dominion voting systems won its defamation case and now Tucker Carlson will need to find another haunt from which to spew his right wing propaganda. Smartmatic is next up on the litigation front and they are asking for a bigger sum than Dominion.

The term "Woke" seems to be the current flavor of the month for the perennially flustered American conservative who cannot comprehend why their society is evolving. To distract their obedient sheep, they will cancel companies intent on breaking rules which defined their battery limits for a civilized society. Since people aren't students of history they do not recognize their own behaviour as being endemic to the resistance experienced at each key milestone of major societal change.

I continue to have hope for the American experiment because the upcoming generations hold more progressive values which makes me think positive change is coming. Yes, the re-election of Biden is a milquetoast compromise but at least he will keep the ship steady until a younger politician can enter the presidential arena.

Ultimately the Trump era will be remembered as a stain on the country but one it had to live through in order to finally cleanse itself of the worst instincts of the white boomer.
