Four years of President Trump taught us that his way to cope with any situation is to find someone to blame or insult. If there's are problems - floods, fires, war, disease or disaster someone else must be to blame. If you can insult someone, you must be stronger. Forget truth. Forget reason. Forget objectivity. This is 2025. Social media rule the world. Some people will believe anything if it's on their phones. Phones don't lie. Do they? Democracy taught us that everyone's opinion matters. The thoughtless, the greedy, the poorly educated, or ignorant have a voice. Glued to their phones, it is difficult for people to sort out truth from fiction. If it sounds good then surely it must be true? Political debate reduced to black and white. If I can blame someone then I must be right and whoever controls the messaging wins. Elections can be organized. So goodbye to the America of the past and welcome, the New Capitalist America, built by the rich for the rich, expansionist, anti-democratic, white, male ... at least for a while or until the poor in desperation rise up, and the earth - sick, scorched, poisoned and irradiated - draws the curtain. So, let the insults and the blame begin.
