Asleep at the wheel seems relative. From the people-as-the-constituency perspective, they aren't doing a thing to help democracy flourish or aid the citizenry. From the donors-as-the-constituency POV, they are delivering. Corporatocracy, grift, & privatization are thriving

Point of clarity: fighting fire with fire makes a bigger, more out of control fire that destroys everything. Fighting fire with WATER puts out the fire so you can begin restoration. Further point of clarity: either of those options is better than just watching the fire like most Dems are doing.

It's important to distinguish between a media bubble and a communication dome. A bubble involves individual selection of media to create a cognitively comforting space and reinforce existing beliefs. A dome encapsulates all media to limit selection to that which enforces one belief structure.

If the fascist right is able to upend our social, political, & economic institutions so completely in 6 months, we can remake our systems in just as fast a time frame if we are aggressive. The notion of generational recovery from the damage only enables the long term entrenchment of awful policies.

Maralago was the "legitimate" front for Epstein's client and victim recruitment. Trump was either compromised and used or a willing partner in the effort. In either case, he was aware of what was going on.

It wasn't just a sex trafficking ring. Epstein was the leader of the global north's black market. People, information, drugs, art, connections. He made all of it available to the elite ruling class, governments, lettered agencies, etc. And that is why they will protect the information
