Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

The Ills of a languishing society

 Only the madness, so pervasive serves as a commonality.  In this absurdity, we battle what should be for our souls, but instead our egos.  We claim it to be our values, but still, it is untamed passions and the wills to do wrong for right and wrong for wrong.

We have extremism, to ... the extreme.  We have leftists changing everything, necessary or not, and we have the right extremists doing everything to maintain a status quo and to return to the 1920s where the rich white males were dominant and all other fell into line thereafter.

In the crux of the flux we have unpolished fold of doall know-nothings pitted against the who-knows do-nothings brandishing voices and weapons against books and ideas.  I have argued, failingly, that the term pro-life is a bullshittery term deemed to sound pro something.  Most of the flakes pro-life bantering are more than willing to own weapons and ammo and kill anything stealing or attempting to steal.

In a podcast it was shared, perhaps wittingly, that the GOP defends property, whereas other groups defend lives.  It is a falicy that is shared mostly with the GOP that the right to bear arms, while in the constitution, should extend to all parties including those willing to engage in domestic terrorism. The concept of right to life, death to those taking my guns is beyond an idiocy.

The GOP as of late as never distinguished itself apart from the Fascism that is Trump with idiots-beware self-serving man bent on controlling until his death. Pitted against this is a long-time, should-be the winner Catholic, Biden.  His elect everyone different attitude has lent a sneer by all parties, still motivated by sincerity rather than politics playing.  The evangelicals still rally around a man, Trump, willing to use sexual assault language, homophobic slurs, targeting non-caucasian latinos, child environmentalists, and those with disabilities.

Our nation can persevere if it grasps the solid truth that this is a secular nation, a blend of nationalities, languages, religions, non-religions, cultures, and histories.  We should embrace a fuller understanding of our history the good and the bad, as well as the path forward. There are no safe single religion nations in the world.  Americans seeking a Christian nation fail to see/witness Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Sudan, Myanmar, as nation slaughtering those in other groups.
