Though it's been out for a while, I am watching "Where To Invade Next"

[A HERETIC I AM]

A Michael Moore film.

Halfway through it and I can come to only one conclusion;

Americans are screwed

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Yes , it was real bad even with a Democratic, non fascist government, but now we

are done and done and it is gonna be real bad.

I will die of a stress related heart attack worrying about when will they take my benefits, lots of us will.

Rightwingers and even moderates would NEVER consider taxing the rich so we can all have a decent life, god forbid.

The stupid is remarkable.

2. Do most Americans get what's going on, or are they just too obtuse to comprehend

anything.

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. Since MOST Americans don't ever travel overseas...

I don't think they have a clue

[RKP5637]

5. I used to travel internationally a lot for business. I've heard individuals bellowing on about

the foreigners, immigrants, etc., etc. and how places suck. And I ask, have you ever been there ... they answer no. It's absurd how they think the US is the center of the universe and the rest of the world is horrible. They are fodder for easy brainwashing they are so naive. And the MIC, yep, great money makers for those on the take ... big profits in destruction, killing/maiming and rebuilding.

7. I had the good fortune as a youngster to travel extensively

Having lived in Athens in the '60's and Australia in the 70's. I've been to England and back down under in the 90's several times


International travel definitely gives one a dramatically different perspective

3. Yes, but it's by our own choice.

We keep electing Republicans, which pushes us further and further down the path to dystopia.

Until a critical mass of voters figures it out, we are, indeed, screwed.

[RKP5637]

6. IMO Trump is leading this country down to a dystopian society quickly, knocking out all of

the pillars of our democracy to an inevitable collapse, thereby, making rebuilding nearly impossible.

And the deplorables so easily deceived cheer him on. And the rest of the herd of republicans sees great profits in the future as they enslave most Americans.

But millions and millions of Americans remain clueless. Some are just too F'en lazy to try to understand anything and others are so severely brainwashed they will never get the picture of what is going on. And the rest, well, they are just DUH people, beyond hope or communication ...
