A cruel budget may break the system—but it also opens the door for bold, inclusive reforms. History shows that from great suffering can come the momentum for real, lasting change.
First, the NYC mayoral race seems to support your opinion above. Mamdai’s positions are progressive and going after the inequalities the lower and middle class feels.
Second, I just saw the Newsroom clip about America being the greatest country in the world, again. It’s big crescendo was that nothing changes until society recognizes recognizes their are problems. It lines up with your opinion above. And as is often said, life imitates art.
Thirdly, I am so starved for hope for future generations, I am having a hard time criticizing your opinion above. But it is truly inspiring and a good reminder to help our fellow Americas. E Plurbis Unum is our motto for a reason.
Very discouraging outlook, but a very encouraging outline for an approach that will give the country back to the people. Very well written and documented as to where we currently stand and where we can go if we put in the required effort.
We still have much to do to gain the attention and trust of ‘middle America.’ I think there’s at least one ‘line of attack’ that can help:
Donald Trump just really, really hates America.
America values honesty, fair play, integrity. As a pathological liar and con man, Trump has never been able to command the ‘respect,’ power, and regal status he craves. He now feels these to be within his reach.
Trump is not out to make America great again. He’s out to make America grovel at his feet.
Americans need to know this. America needs to understand that this is the entirety of Trump’s motivation and his self-dealing end game so that America can stop him.

Thank you. We all have a role to play. Please encourage others.

I agree, John. We must appeal to “ordinary Americans” and explain why different leadership will benefit them.
