We – every one of us – is Truman Burbank. The only difference is that we are not the subject of a fictional reality (how’s that for an oxymoron?) TV show.
Wow.Just wow. Every thought that spins daily in my head put into written word. It’s ll so egregious i cannot bother waxing philosophical about it any longer. This : “revealed a host of people to be shallow, petty, small-minded, intolerant, petulant, shortsighted, prejudiced, and bigoted – but more than any of these ugly characteristics, it revealed them to be just plain mean, and dishonest. “ I would like to add “ judgmental” to that list. My goodness , it was all delivered with such stinging arrogance....and there has not been anything remotely close to “ oops, my bad.” Shoot, no one likes being wrong ( or admitting you my just have been conned...) but I at least when I am wrong, I admit it, apologize and make whatever necessary amend. I hope we are close to the end of this decades long corrupt charade. I just pray that all these complicit charlatans will not be present in any way, shape or form. Imagine a world with no lies....
Things will change, I'm not sure about whether or not it will be in our lifetimes, but things will change. The Enlightenment cannot be done away with. The idea that no one has a divine right to rule is not going to disappear. Democracy, either direct or representational (republicanism), is honestly the most natural form of government. And as you say, these people trying to game us are terminally flawed. The only question that really remains is will it take bloodshed to make them stopping their petty grasping for total control?
Another brilliant analysis, thank you. When historians look back at the demise of our country, if there are historians in a dystopian future, they will see the seeds of distraction started earlier than the 2020 fake election. The early seeds were in the election of W Wilson as president. His progressive nature and policies led us into WW1, caused WW2 and were the progenitors for the new world order.
While many think the civil war started with Ft Sumter, it’s roots began with McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819 which expanded Federal rights over states and with the Tariff bills of 1828 and 1832, which hurt the south economically.
No matter what happens in 24, the hatred for 1/2 our country exists today and the results of 11/24 may spark a fire that unfortunately may be difficult to put out.

Love that!!
Or maybe Dewey, Chetham and Howe.
Even better - I love a reference to those most wise philosophers!!

Damn straight!!
An elegant history.

Excellent question - sadly, your guess is as good as mine.

Thank YOU!!
Yours is even more so!
