@Susan_Larson_TN Except we live in a world on a planet that neoliberal policy is messing up.
It's not about America or Oprah to confront Mother Nature (Laws of Thermodynamics) - it's about all of us to work this out. I can tell you we really are one species and some are messing up more than others.
No one is great to have hate and see others as a problem. I should take my exclamations to X, Grok and Elon.
@Susan_Larson_TN So much of USA politics is entangled in religion - especially the Abrahamic ones.
Since the Mayflower landed, Catholics escaped Europe, Jews established control of banking and media etc there's been a problem. Hopefully things are moving into C21 rationale?
