Good comment. Better than the essay. I live in Pa. Cannot believe Fetterman was elected, not because of his disabilities but because of his total lack of demonstrated abilities. Having said that, nearly everyone I know voted for this clown. Some actually said to me “ democracy is on the ballot”. This when we are voting. Many folks I see have no idea of what government does and don’t care to know but don’t seem to mind government taking control of the people especially if it comes with some” free money”.

Isn't it interesting how some of them parrot verbatim what the monopoly media shove into their brains? I've long since terminated voluntary contacts with such.

It's a spiritual anodyne, like cutting out television-watching. Only in this case you cut-out secondary television-watching.

I like secondary television watching. Think I’ll steal the phrase.

What the heck does that even mean -"democracy is on the ballot?" That's a platform that has no meaning, it just sounds good, like you are choosing between democracy and totalitarianism or communism which is what they'll get when they cast their vote for the "democracy" candidate. Fetterman does not answer to the people which means they have no means of controlling him.

The more they hype democracy the more obvious that it's a false idol.
