effective opposition

 

It seems too many Americans misunderstand
the workings of the US government, and,
notably, the powers and role of the POTUS.
We have separation of powers for the
purpose of avoiding a too powerful
kinglike ruler.  POTUS is not so much a
ruler as a Head of State, with designated
duties and powers, checked by the duties
and powers of (often oppositional) Congress,
and the rulings of the Courts.


One major problem with a Trump
Presidency is that he doesn't 
believe in or care about rule of law,
but expects to act from the unchecked
power his SCOTUS Immunity decision
allows him.


Civilian massacres as if No Lives Matter


Horrific shit keeps happening
all over the world, because people
suck!  Not all the time, and some much
more than others, but enough to keep
us from getting together to do what
needs to be done to make our world
a place at least reasonably good
for all of us.


I identify as nonbinary.  I don't
believe in gender.  I know there are
biological sexes -- but gender is
a social construct, like so many
social constructs, designed to
stupidly divide us.


It is not an effective opposition
against the Patriarchy to outdo the
in their offensive attributes and
behaviors.  To make a positive
difference, be and do better.
[NO evil in the service of good]


Could it be we are so anxious
depressed, lonely, because we
are terrified ot our little world
getting intercepted by others?
