I do not care to much for dogmatic religion, yet I do like mythology for its creativity. And was thinking that our motto should be that the USA should be reborn !.

Yes use their myth with a twist, a nation that is being reborn to accept all people. Opposed to a fascist nation of white Christian man.

Great thoughts! Who? Indeed! Elizabeth Warren, AOC and Jasmine Crockett seem poised with enough power,at least a foothold, progressive and smart enough to rewire the system to a proper democratic socialist, modern, humane Country to be proud of!

The Article 5 movement aims to have a new Constitutional convention to rewrite the Constitution to be what the Republicans think it should be. This must not stand.

Yes, freedom FROM religion is the starting point of the Bill of Rights. We never lived up to the fundamental principle that sovereignty comes only from the people. Look where we are now. Religion is the great crowbar of political propaganda and corruption that empowers despots the world over. Your list is long. We have to start somewhere. Might as well start at the beginning and connect everything else to it. The people have to learn that they are their own sovereigns, not mad kings, priests, and petty billionaires who think they are gods.

You are so correct. Very Hopeful message. And good ideas. This nation is an addict...has to reach rock bottom before it starts to heal. But I am ready for whatever comes.

You are giving me hope that we can and will rebuild from the ground up including constitutional rewrites. I've been writing personally about this for a long time so will be looking forward to a growing team with vision and foresight. I'm wondering if the Dems are getting their own battalion of teenage tech geniuses together to mend the damage or give us something better For The People. When AI exceeds the Human brain's abilities, Human Evolution screeches to a halt. I hope some red flags are built into the systems.
