Thank you for this thoughtful reply. I agree with you. I would also point out the history of depressions being a catalyst for tyranny, especially under right leaning fascist leaders, because the population is scared and hurting and look for stability through my a powerful controlling leader and are further persuaded by visions of a return to the good times before the depression and a future of a “restored” stronger country. We saw that in parts of the world after 2008 and this climate will likely strengthen the trend.
- aurizon 6y agoThanks for the support. I fear the republicans will choose to enrich business interests at the expense of the common man = the top 5% will own more of the USA than before. We sorely need some form of redress - capital taxes? The democratic candidate is a total loser. Good time for a hird party = but it will not get enough traction with the electoral college system - that must have been thought up by the ghost of King George...;)
