Excellent essay, as always.

My long, thoughtful comment just vanished, so I'll simply note the following:

We must acknowledge that our institutions are rotted with corruption and deception, and our population is wracked with grievance and bottomless bigotry.

Knowing this, there is only one option...to vote for the deeply flawed Democratic party, that lacks the courage to even be honest about our grave mistakes and insane inequities.

The only other option is American fascism, which will begin with state-sanctioned vigilantism and end with utter anarchy.

At some point...either after the economy has crashed and burned, or climate change brings us to the brink of sanity...someone will start over with a new constitution.

Flawed and corrupt people will always be drawn to power, but won't be quite so easy the next time.

Or at least, my hope.
