Excellent synopsis of how we got to where we are today. The problem is, in essence, that neither party is offering what FDR was bold enough to take on. As you implied, Biden had the right idea, but was not bold in the delivery. The American public shifts back & forth voting for Democrats & the Republicans because neither party seems to be able to help middle America. The middle class is almost nonexistent. The morbidly wealthy corporatists run the country. The middle class is lost because the wealthy are crushing them, breaking everything that keeps them afloat, while stripping their dignity along the way, further breaking spirits. Neither party is making things better, as you point out, so all they have left is, in fact, rage. But their rage needs to be redirected, not blaming minorities and immigrants. Those are detractors that fascists always use so the people become blinded by the fact that it is the morbidly wealthy that have built their wealth off of their backs, and will continue to seize all the power they can amass, until the people revolt. That is exactly what precipitated the French Revolution. Perhaps a better study and analysis of that might help us to change this spiraling trajectory that we are now on to a better future for the masses, for hope, fairness & for prosperity for all, not only for the top 1%.
I'm finally getting around to comments. I was deep in thought, trying to figure out how I wanted to land the plane in the final chapter, The Path Not Taken (just finished it late last night).
Your comment hits the mark for sure. Though I think Biden lacked more than just delivery—he lacked breadth. It made the whole thing feel like too little, too late. Like a consolation prize. Or just more scraps to quiet the masses, if you will.
In fact, your comment couldn’t be a better setup for our final chapter (coming out this Friday). I’m genuinely excited to see how people respond.
This has been, truly, a transformative journey for me. When I set out at the beginning, I had a clear vision of what I wanted to say. But I wasn’t sure how I’d navigate through it all to actually get the ideas across. And let me tell you—I’ve learned a lot through this process. It was like I’d studied how to build a bridge in school… but now, I’ve actually built one. And through that experience, I discovered connections I didn’t fully grasp before—not beyond the surface, at least. I felt things I hadn’t felt before, especially in the second half of the series.
I hope everyone reading it can experience even half of what I did—because then, I’ll have done something more than just put words on a page. I’ll have done something that matters.
Thank you! And what you are doing definitely matters. We all have to do what we can, and we have to hope that altogether, it has the impact that will make a difference. There are many cogs on a wheel, and each & every part matters to its successful function.
I think you hit the nail on the head! This resonates…
