Joseph Stiglitz : The end of neoliberalism and the rebirth of history

[Martin Eden]

86. All hands on deck for this existential crisis

Everyone regardless of age who can see Trump for what he is (and is appalled by what they see) has to be part of the solution. Rightwing autocracies are on the rise, including here in the USA. If this fascist fuckwad gets another term, recovery will be much more difficult.

I did not mean to imply we should just "leave it to the kids," though you apparently took it that way. However, they are the best hope in the long run. My generation (boomers) mucked things up pretty badly, and the older generation is dying off. Young people are not yet set in their ways, and therein lies opportunity for positive change.

I'm not all that interested in the dysfunctional sexual inner workings of Trump's brain. He's a vile demagogue who took advantage of decades of Faux news & talk radio brainwashing to push the buttons of fear, racism, and ignorance to feed the giant but fragile ego of this malignant narcissist. His mental pathologies got him into financial trouble and the clutches of Vlad Putin, whose investment in this puppet is paying huge dividends.

Getting rid of this treasonous tyrant wannabe is imperative, but only the first step. We all have to get off our own self indulgent asses to save our country.
