Socrates, and especially Plato, adhered to the belief that there are 'special' people, wise people, who should run the government. 'Only when the kings are philosophers, will society, and its government, be correct. But there is no way of determining who is wise, unless he has a gun in his hand or several people behind him with the gun. Vote! Only by listening to the goals of a canditate, and finding his intentions superior to his opponents will you chose who you believe should be the Executive officer. And only the people, by majority vote can conclude their choosing of the Executive. They, We, should also vote for the Judicial officers. And, finally, there should not be a leislature, the people should vote directly for the laws under which they live. Representatives take the offered bribes. And Judges take the offered bribes. When will mankind grow up and take the time and energy to participate in making law, enforcing the laws, and interpretering the laws they make.

The pandemic: Trump lied, Americans died; 1.1 million Americans died because Trump lied.
It's simple: Trump, March 2000, said,"We're testing everybody. We do more tests than any other country." It was, and still is, a lie. The tests we had in the health departments didn't work and they would not permit other labs to use their internal tests. Trump lied, Americans died, for a few more years.
Trump touted 3 different drugs as cures, probably for kick back money, none of the touted drugs worked. Trump lied and we died. Trump chose against every life saving proposal science presented. Then we had the shoot up with disinfectant episode. Here was a totally uninformed politician touting death. And more disaster.
Americans died.
When you go to the polls to vote and you vote for Trump, you are voting for a proven rapist, an obvious insurrectionist, and a rather raw uneducated incompetent old liar who says he will destroy American democracy, the American economy, and freedom. I believe him. He will. If you vote for Trump you are choosing the demise of America.
I stand against giving up freedom, capitalism, decent education, the good life as an aspiration.
Damn the Republican agenda of ending America. They have chosen to win by any means, by force of arms if necessary, so they can control the entire Nation. They have thrown down the gauntlet: They are no longer our opponents, the loyal opposition, they are our ENEMIES. We must prepare our armed services to turn back the insurrection Trump has already designed and keep the Republicans from taking our freedom, and our sacred honor to our Nation, from us.
