“In America, the richest men… [are]... abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom. They’re defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands. They’re removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now.” He criticized lawmakers who have “no…idea of what it means to be deeply American.”
“The America that I’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real and, regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people, so will survive this moment.”
Bruce Springsteen

Wish for the day.
I wish I had Bruce Springsteen's optimism about the future of America. I think we're in a state of collapse and that our government as a socially functional entity is over. I don't think most Americans understand enough about civics and legitimate function of government to know or see what's happening. I believe we're living in a time of America's collapse.
