Supreme Court betrays America

I am still seething about the Supreme Court decision allowing unlimited money from corporations to flood the political process .

I am actually beginning a plan to leave the U.S.  After this  SCOTUS decision, the quality of life here will go into the toilet.  I am beginning the process of finding somewhere else to live.  I don't know if I can actually do it, or convince my family but it's worth a try.

I am too old to fight a revolution.  That would be the best outcome by far.  Revolution would be our only hope for a decent future.  business as usual will become increasingly intolerable.

It is possible that the corporations will realize that they will have to ease us into the quagmire slowly so that we are like the frog in the gradually heating water.  By the time the water reaches a boil, it is too late for the frog.  I am not sure that big corporations have that much patience.  Short term profits are too hard for them to resist. 

This decision by the Roberts court is extremely reactionary, and radical.  Once the flood gates are opened, the only voices to be heard will be those with the mega bucks behind them.  That is, the only politicians who will be allowed to run for office will be corporate shills.  Candidates with liberal or progressive views will be poisoned by billions of dollars of bad publicity until they are forced out.  The public media will be awash with confusion, lies, and deceit.  Actually, the 2 party system will only be a shadow of itself.  There will be no left and right.  Only a right wing.  And who will speak for the interests of the people?

Republicans are forever referencing the "American people", but in reality are talking only about their own narrow following.  They have no ears for anyone who disagrees with their reactionary crap.  And do they have any ideas?  Do they have any substantive proposals.  They have none.  They mumble a few minor adjustments here and there, but really, what they want is unbridled capitalist domination.

While I am disappointed in liberal politics to deliver anything, I still root for progress.  Once the Roberts decision rolls out, there won't be anyone or anything to root for.  There will be nothing but uncontrolled backsliding.  America is dead.
