COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN IN INVESTMENTWATCH
“Make Liberal Democrats
Tolerant Again”
Tolerance is one of the key characteristics of a true
liberal.
But there are almost no true liberals in America.
America is not a sheltering place for such values and
attitudes.
It is so easy to forget that you are the center of a
massive, brutal empire, and that empire is run for the benefit of America's
power establishment.
Empires and grand armies and giant spy organizations are not
things which promote tolerance or even democracy.
America is governed as a plutocracy.
That is not going to change in our lifetimes.
Trump, even if he succeeds in a few needed areas, such as
peace with Russia, end of Neocon Wars, create jobs, is not going to change
anything about America's basic structure.
He wouldn't even be inclined to do so.
Few if any Democrats in America qualify as
"liberal."
