No, you’re completely right. Hope is not enough. I’m also planning, but need to have hope that others outside my circle are too.

It will get worse. In fact, it has to - or else the majority of people will just brush their hands and say “hey we fixed it, nice job” …kinda like Biden 2020.

We don’t need his supporters on our side. It would be nice, but once the rest of us are starving too there’s more of us.

Hopefully though, we can finally get through to them that it’s the ~2000 billionaires or so actively waking up each morning and deciding not to end world hunger that are the actual issue.

I’m sure it seems like that from the outside. There’s so many of us inside that are fully sick of this, but we also all feel helpless for a number of reasons.

Nobody wants to be alone in making the first move of outward revolution.

None of us can afford to take a week off, much less the foreseeable future off to plan and execute any kind of meaningful action.

Once we lose our job from participating in said action, we don’t have healthcare anymore.

We’ve got to be so far past the point of no return that the status quo can’t continue before most people will be able to do anything.

Combine that with the press hiding most of this from the people, and people still wanting to hold out hope for…something…and you’re where we are at.

I’m crossing my fingers that the midterms (or lack thereof) will be the turning point.

And those term limits were finally voted into the constitution by conservatives because they were terrified that FDR had already been elected to his fourth term due to social policies being, surprise surprise, popular with the people, and they wanted to prevent those who would become a “dictator, king, or totalitarian leader”

Hilarious.
