Okay let's get this party started. Opening statement for Thursday:

"He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic. Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. At one time it had been a sign of madness to believe that the earth goes round the sun; today, to believe that the past is inalterable. He might be ALONE in holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic. But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him: the horror was that he might also be wrong."

(Winston Smith, 1984)

Democracy indeed does not work. That is, it does not work without a well-informed, decently educated electorate. It does not work when it tolerates abominations like the electoral college, a blatantly undemocratic Senate and a corrupt judicial system. So much work to do....

So many individuals believe Democracy can’t work that they are openly planning to conduct more 1776, 2A, and J6 style attacks to push a false Christo-fascist state. I say false because Jesus didn’t preach what these guys do during his ministry.
