America is a sick society

[pbrower2a]

I expect Donald Trump to suggest a "Bill of Tights for Business" -- no need to deal with unions, lax regulation on employee safety, soft rules on environmental protection, and ability of employers to control ever aspect of employees' rights. In the public sector, such people as teachers will be 0obliged to expound corporate propaganda if they are to keep teaching. Thus global warming is a hoax because Corporate America says that it is a hoax -- or start working in a fast-food place tomorrow.

I expect reproductive rights to be curtailed so that Americans will have large families to provide copious cheap labor to be most fully exploited. Yes, I see a nightmare -- just what one can expect in a single-Party system. I expect to hate life. My greatest risk will be suici9de out of despair.

I no longer believe in American politics, not so much because my side lost (that happens to everyone) but because the system will be thoroughly evil - worse than the usual dictatorship because it will insist that we see ourselves as a free people even as people live in abject fear and subjection. Profit will be sacred and people will be expendable. I hope that I am wrong -- but the President is a sociopath, the Congressional majorities are puppets of corporate lobbyists responsible only to their paymasters, and most state legislatures are at least as bad as the US Congress.
