The American electorate that elected Trump to another term are not victims, but accomplices to his corruption and that of the Supreme Court that placed him above the rule of law with their immunity decisions. including the decisions that allowed Trump, an insurrectionist to remain on the ballot

The founding fathers warned about times like this, where there's no respect for the rule of law, where everything is corrupted then there's tyranny

We are truly learning again that ignorance is much more expensive than education.

The 2024 Election proves Professor Carlo Cipolla 5th Law of Human Stupidity. The consequences of this election will cause losses to millions of people, even to Trump voters, with no real upside to said voters.

The 2024 election proves Professor Carlo Cipolla theory of the five basic laws of human stupidity. Neither wealthy nor education level insulates people from engaging in extremely dangerous and damaging stupid behavior that is costly to society as a whole.

'Do not obey in advance!" Joe and Mika failed to learn this lesson from On Tyranny by @timothysnyder.bsky.social

When you underfund education, when you stop teaching civics, when you remove the wall between church and state, you build a society of people unable to discern truth from fiction, reality from lies, information from disinformation

Please talk more about the Fourth Estate failing in their purpose to give people the facts and truth so that we may have a healthy democracy. Democracy will not survive if the media silos continue in this way. Trump voters can no longer discern truth from lies. There is no share reality anymore

The 2024 Election shows us that there is much work to be done to make this country a more perfect union, of decency, fairness, equality and justice.

Thurgood Marshal gives us words to live by in times like this:

"We cannot play ostrich. Democracy cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage. America must get to work. In the chill climate in which we live, we must go against the prevailing wind."

Some people never learn that bullies cannot be appeased.
It is why I have severely limited what news I watch since the 2024 election that betrays all principles America was founded upon.

We must dissent from Trumpism and Fascism.
