Outstanding article William, one of the most insightful and inspiring I’ve read since I joined Substack. Would you allow me to cross-post it?

Yes! I determined back in the 80s that the system served only a few. I volunteered in some civic boards, I worked at a college where I was viewed as a rebel with a big mouth, and I spoke up loudly about changing the system. By the time I was 50, I was exhausted and menopausal so I moved to the country. My blue village is filled with upper-class liberal activists who are outraged every day. They are hopeful that AOC will run for president, and maybe Buttigieg will be VP, which will bring the country back to where it belongs. They tolerate no condemnation of Biden and Harris, much less the Democratic Party. They donate, protest, and scream on social media, but the only change they want is a return to a before that no longer exists. Once again, you clearly identified the REAL problems. I have said for years that the GOP and Christian forces have been methodically working on their message and their accumulation of power since the 80s. I listen to the Progressive pundits and wait for them to say what you said.
