@jeanne-mayell Great muppity Zeus this post was the jam on the toast. The syrup on the pancakes. The cheese on the sandwich. The chocolate over the peanut butter. The coffee grounds in the French press.
May every last word in there ring true! Also I am now hungry.
Funny, I spent a great deal of time yesterday reading the predictions made in February for the rest of this year and 2023.
There are a lot about the downfall of the GOP. It feels like finally, FINALLY, the information that is coming out about Twitler and the insurrection is not going to be swept under the rug. May they all be completely exposed for the lying traitors they are.
I am sure many of you know that the problems we are facing today with fascism, and, yes, going backwards, have been building for decades. That graph vision I had in 2015 assured me that we were heading for a tipping point (2020) where we’d hit a bottom and then we'd climb our way back up.
I personally didn’t start to notice the threat until about 1980, When Ronald Reagan ran a hate campaign towards the poor. Then I noticed the business world becoming openly rogue when they began openly incorporating lying, stealing, and deception into every day business practices. A friend of mine who had a successful children’s clothing business was up-ended in one fell swoop by a lying and successful businessman. It cost her $225,000 which wiped out the business she and her partners had been building for years. And although devastated, she responded with, "Well Jeanne, that’s just business."
I started noticing tactics in the business world that I felt were evil and lawless. And again people simply brushed it off as, "That’s just business." And although there are many good players, there are those in the business world who do whatever it takes to make a profit and in the end they are congratulated for their financial success, not by how they got there. That kind of amoral attitude about financial success needs to stop and I believe it will stop.
In 2004, I was alarmed to learn that 80% of US tenth graders did not know the Bill of Rights. I Expressed my concern to my town's superintendent of schools. What could this mean for the safety of our democracy that these kids (who are now 32 years old) were so coddled and ignorant that they did not understand the importance of basic rights that thousands had died for?
Then when VP Dick Cheney led the lies that took our country to the Iraq war on false pretenses, killing a million people, (the very Cheney whose brave daughter is now trying to bring the country back from the brink), I was at that point alarmed for our country.
So long before Donald Trump came around, I was afraid. But hoping it wouldn’t happen as quickly as it did.
Then during Trump years, I began to see that our democracy is much stronger than the liars and thugs who would destroy it. I believed that the world’s longest lived democracy will not be overthrown by a bunch of low-lifes. The forces of truth and justice are much stronger and more pervasive than we can even imagine.
I also believe we have to pay our dues to those whose lives our ancestors trampled in order to have the wealth and freedom so many of us enjoy here. So the pain we are suffering now, and the pain we will suffer as we experience what we’ve done to this planet, will wake us up not only to what we need to do to save the planet, but also will wake us up to our connection to all people everywhere.
Such an amazingly beautiful and truthful post, Jeanne! When I was watching the Capital 4th, last night, watching the waving flags, I was wondering how many would be able to answer even the most basic questions about our country's history.
And now we have rethugs in Texas and Florida trying to pass laws that slavery has to be called "involuntary relocation," so as not to make white children feel bad. Nothing like trivializing 250 years of shameful brutality. And they call us snowflakes.
@jeanne-mayell I nominate your whole post for the hall of fame. If ever there’s a post that deserved to be enshrined there, truly it is this one.
Thanks @dannyboy, glad to say something helpful after my lead balloon post of my old predictions. I can't believe I actually posted that at a time like this. It's just that I was seeing in my mind those two women at the top of the mountain we were climbing, flashing the victory sign near the end of this decade. But it didn't show up well in that post. You had to see it in that graph.
As for this last post, thank you for nominating it. Someone can put it there but it would be awkward for me to do it lol.
@jeanne-mayell I went to the Y with my daughters to swim in the pool, and it appears Billy Mike beat me to it :-)
