Here's quite a read, in the Guardian. " America is destroying itself. It's no surprise"

22. Interesting. I have two main responses.

He completely omits the most direct cause of our current crisis, which is the influence of billionaires and heads of other countries. It began with Fox News and accelerated as Putin, Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel and others have invaded the U.S. with propaganda and misinformation. And I believe that China probably has access to all our systems and can turn off the lights (literally) at any moment. Ignoring this silent invasion by people and entities that control great wealth and power is a big omission.

Were the seeds already there? Yes. Which leads me to his second major omission...

He really doesn't highlight the deep racism in many Americans. Talking about slavery in the past isn't enough. Until we acknowledge that half the country is deeply motivated by racism, we won't see how easy it is to manipulate those voters. The MAGA agenda is a racist agenda.

He also leaves out the significant amount of propaganda manipulating American voters on the left. MAGA is not our only problem.
