Plato believed dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy because of the uneducated masses. Yet in my early teens I spent some time wondering how a modern country with an intelligent populous could still descend into fascism. Now I know, it is being played out before my eyes.

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

MAGA supporters, life is more than a slogan. You are not becoming great when you cheer your wife being deported, nothing makes it great when as parents you accept your child's avoidable death, because someone told you vaccines are evil.

Trump wants to use friend Putin to isolate China, everything else is subordinate. MAGA intends to overtake China's economy again becoming the no1, Putin sees the value in going along. So Ukraine, Europe, Canada and Greenland are just collateral damage, or perhaps intentional damage?
