While some are still keeping their heads in the sand, many no longer are. We’re in a full scale battle not just for the soul of our democracy, but for its body.
The President’s speech to Congress was filled with lies, such as the debunked stories about Social Security, or making fun of funds for “transgender mice”, or mocking an African nation “no one’s ever heard of.”
Fewer and fewer people are in denial regarding the President’s penchant for pathological lying. The difference is when people stop pretending to themselves that his lies don’t matter.
There are powerful people so high on the drug of proximity to power that they are selling their souls to go along with all this madness. On some level they know what’s happening, but to stand up and speak out entails courage they haven’t yet summoned up within themselves.
History will record whether or not they do.
