It's all so depressing. Tales me back to the Reagan years...that feeling of impending doom. This is worse, of course. I try to soak up the wisdom of the freedom/democracy writers as much as possible in search of hope. Yours was a good article and I appreciate it. Thank you.

No. We have to come to terms with the fact that we Dems, we elites, completely ignored the plight of the working class/middle class as it was financially eviscerated by 40+ years of neoliberal trickle-down economics. It’s not that they didn’t listen to us, it’s the opposite. We didn’t listen to them.

The sad part is that no matter how many times we told them, that this how it was going to end up, they ignored us. My sympathy for them, my empathy, patience for what they have wilfully and blindly done is gone. And their find out part of all this has started. All I have to say to you is enjoy. And no thanks for dragging the rest of us along for the ride.I for one,will never forgive you

The ignorance of the US populace is exploited again! Of this ignorance BOTH parties are responsible. Until it really hurts there will be no chance of change.

Yes, today DonTheCon’s Kleptocracy begins in full, but let’s focus today commentating Dr. Martin King who reminded us “there comes a time when silence is betrayal.”

Great sub, Keith.

Can I just comment on how absolutely 🎯 jam-packed 🎯 that photo is?

The work boots stomping thousands of empty folding chairs on a cold January day, in D.C. Whew.
