America: Where’s This Going?

From an old friend: Today is the day we learn how many of our fellow citizens will be cool with authoritarian rule if it just lowers the price of gas 25 cents or so a gallon and bumps the Dow Jones a hundred points or so a week. I’m pretty sure Baldwin (pictured) would sell out democracy for an extra treat or two a week, but his motives are pretty easy to comprehend.

I’m not sure I would say that about Baldwin; he looks like a wise soul to me.

What I will grant, however, is that you’ve nailed the crux of the midterms.  Too many of us have been manipulated into blindness when it comes to the future of American democracy.
