Coupable

The Trump guilty verdict was inevitable as was the reaction from the right wing. I think back to the past and America would not have been this divided on such an obvious open and shut case.

Members of the cult wept and burned incense which would have surprised before we were desensitized to what we thought was not possible in the 21st century. Trumpism helped to cure me of any remaining illusions I may have held about human progress.

The machinations of the power structures of the world are more evident as we gain experience. We can make the direct connections between the aspirations of the wealthy and the results at the governmental level. There is always bread for the masses but just enough to keep them from revolt.

The ignorance of the masses is always counted on.
