Insight from Thom Hartmann
Here’s an episode of Thom Hartmann’s radio program called “GOP: Death Worshipers??” in which he points out:
Republicans are promoting death yet again and their funders, the morbidly rich right wing billionaires, don’t seem to have a problem with it. They could end this “death cult” in a single day — simply by refusing to fund further any politician who continues to embrace guns, transphobia, insurrection, and hate… It certainly appears the right wing uber-rich worship death…or, at least, the killers behind the cult.
It certainly does appear that most of the uber-wealthy take advantage of the radical us-versus-them polarization that has brought this country to the brink of an authoritarian government. If it weren’t for the gun-nuts, the racists, the homophobes, and the bible-thumpers, life would cease to be as terrifying as it is now, and it would be harder to prevent the common American from thinking outside the box with respect to our elections. This helps to put tight limits on the candidates who are viable, and means a true progressive could not possibly become President of the United States.

We still don’t know the exact reason(s) that Tucker Carlson, with his #1 ratings, was fired by Fox News. It’s possible that it was simple damage reduction.
George Soros is an extremely wealthy progressive whose vision of the world is one that is more just and equitable. As far as I can see, there’s nothing more to it, and, unless you’re some sort of hateful nut-job, there is certainly nothing about him that would lead one to believe that he “hates humanity.”
Here’s a wonderful piece from legendary environmentalist Joe Romm (whose last name, believe it or not, is pronounced “Rome”). A comment:
2GreenEnergy supporter Cameron Atwood and I are having a discussion I thought I’d share:
There are only two outcomes for America at this point. We either a) hold Trump and his criminal allies accountable, and restore rule of law, or b) we don’t, and face at least a few decades of lawlessness.
In today’s world of absurdities, it should come as no surprise that the MAGA “patriots” celebrate both the Confederacy and the Third Reich, both of which were beaten into submission by the armies that represented American democracy.
Have you noticed the plethora of start-ups in the clean tech space advertising on social media platforms to locate seed capital investors? If so, you probably have noticed two things:
At this point, the United States places very little importance on education. Exactly why that is can be argued, but here are a few suggestions.
