The Week magazine for Dec. 3 contains the following from Stockholm:
Democracy in retreat: The U.S. has been added for the first time to a list of “backsliding democracies” by the Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. America has fallen vicim to “authoritaian tendencies,” the respected think tank said in its Global State of Democracy 2021 report, and so was “knocked down a significant number steps on the democatic scale.” The report, issued this week, cited former President Donald Trump’s baseless allegations of fraud in the 2020 election and his efforts to pressure state election officials into changing vote totals, as well as the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Trump’s tactics had “spillover effects,” the report added, providing an anti-democtatic model that was followed by political actors in Brazil, Mexico, Myanmar, Peru, and elsewhere.
I’m beginning to think of Trump as the anti-Christ.

When you wrote “water” instead of “watch,” I wondered how you knew I was having a crisis with caring for my indoor plants. Thoughts come and go pretty quick for me. (Sometimes they fail to return)… Oh, I only use my Hulu for keeping visitors entertained. It’s a little too complicated for me unless highly motivated. And it seems I pay enough for it every month to avoid extra costs. Thanks for the thoght…
