And I worry about my son’s future and the children I teach when I substitute. Wars, pandemics, poisoned air, water and soil that will cause more natural disasters. And having a “pResident who doesn’t give a shit about them and the rest of us” he doesn’t even care about about his magaloon cult members the useful idiots who voted for him and their lives are going to get worst.

As Hartmann sums up, there is absolutely nothing "inevitable" about how the future plays out for our country.

Thom Hartmann who is so knowledgeable and was always so optimistic before this year, has worried me with his pessimism. Recently he said "I’ve been feeling something unusual these past few weeks: optimism. Not naïve optimism or the kind that ignores danger, but the real kind that arrives when you see people waking up, standing up, and refusing to bow before a lawless president who believes rules are for suckers and the Constitution is a mere suggestion rather than the foundation of our republic."

I agree. I see MAGA and the GOP falling apart. I see hope.

ever impressed by, not only his ability to grasp the big picture in all its complexities, but to boil it down and explain it in ways, easily understood.

So I'm hopeful as well..
