Gosh! Don't mince words amigo...LOL. Since my life doesn't revolve around politics and I understand where you're coming from, it's easy for me to appreciate your jeremiad and your eloquence. We have been an oligarchy since Gen. Washington's time, but it does seem that has been taken to an extreme.

Hahaha...my college government professor used to return my essays with lines like "How do you REALLY feel?" and "Your flare for the dramatic will set the world on fire." So I guess I've been more on the fiery side of opinion...maybe why they're called "hot takes." When I started writing, I intended to write about spring cleaning and such, but the biggest thing I wanted to clean was the toilet bowl that is Washington, D.C. So many gross examples of humanity in such a small area. As for history, I agree...this isn't necessarily a "new" thing, but the severity appears to be at an all-time high. Or low. Depending on your pov. How low can they go? I'm not sure I can handle the answer.
