(86,817 posts)Current times/events appear to be heading to a similar result as the characters in Animal Farm by way of the demise of humanity as in 1984.
It seems the MO is something like, "...if you can't take something away, pollute it to collapse of value" which is how I see this round of the election cycle. The only thing that could turn out to be positive about the current frontman on the R ticket would be if he is there to specifically expose the corruption, which I doubt is the case.
I think we're in big trouble and it could be far too late by now.

However, as long as two of us still care about democracy we are in the mix. A few quotes:
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi
And one from Epictetus:
For it is not death or hardship that is a fearful thing, but the fear of death or hardship. Epictetus
And one from a great general:
"Grab 'em by the nose and kick 'em in the pants." Patton
and hard to recall some days.
