A good analysis that also explains why #MoscowMitch isn't being hypocritical when he says he'd usher through another Supreme Court justice if one died during Trump's last year in office.

Now that the president has shredded the cultural fabric of "social norms," the "Chosen" as noted in this article, are free to show their contempt for everyone who shouldn't exist.

There's no awareness that without these "others," there'd be no one left to wash dishes, mow lawns and change diapers. Matters such as these don't cross the minds of the "Chosen," however, because they don't spend any time thinking about their status. It's obvious to them and to the others around them. God has blessed them with all the riches of the world and therefore, they are deserving of their wealth.

Weird that Prince Harry, who must be regarded as a true elite among the "Chosen," has no problems in changing his new son's nappies. He even decided to forego a title for the little Mountbatten-Windsor. The contrast couldn't be more startling.

The challenge in America, now that we are woke, is to find a way of dismantling the political power of the wealthy, of the "Chosen," to find a path not reliant on guillotines and firing squads.

In my opinion, the path to such a reorganization leads through the Electoral College. This institution has outlasted its use and now prevents the will of the majority from seeing their candidate into the presidency.

Votes are the only "weapon" we have to revolutionize what has become a dangerously broken and corrupt political system.

Yet one has only to look at gerrymanding of Congressional districts and the suppression of voters' rights to understand our democracy, the great American experiment, is teetering on the brink of decimation.

It's said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. I guess today we'd say our leader golfed.
