Lots of mudslinging and little else, other than the usual election hosannas for Spamberger. But, that's what I have come to expect from Marty. I notice he rips apart the KG BOS recommendation, yet has none of his own. Surely a muckraking writer like him can come up with something worthy of "democracy" (even if we are a Republic). Perhaps a few lines from Karl Marx?

This is horrific. "Preserve our heritage." Cowboy hats and knowing in the core. Seems like a lot of 'Yellowstone' beef jerky propaganda script, and not in a good way. The flip around from the despair the psychologists Case and Deaton described in 2015 as responsible for an intense increase in mortality in communities like King George (and Spotsy, and Orange, etc), -- "white, working-class people ages 45 to 54, who were drinking themselves to death with alcohol, accidentally overdosing on opioids and other drugs, and killing themselves, often by sooting or hanging" -- is being powered by something even more dangerous, one worries. Folks, anger is worse than despair, easily mis-directed at the vulnerable, and guaranteed to produce evil and destruction -- of the angry. Gotta resist the anger and the propaganda. We have a common "heritage" called humanity. Let's focus. . .
