that the ultra-wealthy backbone of the Republican Party is not rising up and speaking out against this insanity and violence. Not a single peep that I've heard. That may be because of their wealth, they have the most fearful mindset of any Americans.
They have the power and capability to bring this right-wing craze to a halt, just as they funded its beginnings.
I have a weird perspective of the Rethug Party. I see their everyday voters including MAGATs, small businessmen and all their state and federal politicians as just the facade of the Party. The real Party - its backbone - consists of a cabal of high wealth individuals and groups and high-power corporatists that fund the campaigns, dozens of think tanks and foundations that execute the evil of the American right-wing. And, it's global in scope because foreign money leaches into American businesses and right-wing programs.
For me, they are the real elephant in our room and I see no way to get through to them other than a total consumer revolt. I don't think Americans have the grit for that, even in better times.

Thanks for the good post, Celerity. It brings back a lot of memories.
Anyone else here remember seeing cans of Goldwater soda in 1964?
