I’ve been hesitant to voice my concerns from a superstitious fear that voicing them might cause them, but time is running out. Will there be more violence if Trump wins or loses? Not a pretty picture.
Are there two different populations in Trump’s camp: both the wealthy and the frustrated foot soldiers who follow his lead to “stand down” or “up?” It appears to me that the wealthy may be weaponizing the white men on the bottom. I viewed many of the FBI’s WANTED photos, and feel some compassion for those who seemed to be feeling good about their actions. I think of the two populations as the “Hoodwinks” and the Wealthiest.
And I can imagine some men voting against Kamala as a result of concern about being usurped by women and their (our) movement, which leads me to my very unpopular stance that women should de-sexualize themselves if they (we) want to be viewed as equal humans. When I say “de-sexualize” I’m referring to the widespread effort to manipulate men by excessive “sexiness.” Some rapists believe females are trying to control them by making starving men hungrier (to coin a phrase). As a result of my perspective, I would like both men and women to feel better about themselves as adequate humans and strive to be more civilized.
And yes, the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling in 2010 may be at the root of it all.

I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY
US President George Bush said he has signed into law a bill requiring the US Department of State to monitor global anti-Semitism and annually rate countries on their treatment of Jews.
The state’s Jewish population is the third largest in the world after Israel and New York.
The state department had opposed the legislation, saying it was unnecessary as the department already compiles such information in its annual reports on human rights and religious freedom.

JOSH PAUL’S RESIGNATION…failed to get enough coverage in my opinion.
“My name is Josh Paul. I resigned from my position as a director in the US State Department’s Bureau of Political Military Affairs last October in opposition to
America’s policy of providing lethal arms to Israel in the context of its current war on Gaza….I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking , and with it the American support both for that response and for the status quo of the occupation, will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people-and is not in the long term American interest. This Administration’s response-and much of Congress’ as well-is an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual bankruptcy, and bureaucratic inertia.” [Note: He is not the lead guitarist of the same name] –Aljazeera
