Yes. I read a an essay about this by a political scientist 15 years ago and it’s lived rent free in my brain ever since.
In a nutshell, he said, the more unstable and out of control the world seems, the more people are willing to cede power to authoritarian leaders.

wanna plug this one more time: there's a pretty much a whole secret deadcast episode about "one from the vault" hidden inside our "sage & spirit" episode! #deadfreaksunite
especially, this deadcast features an extended visit to the dead’s classic show at the great american music hall in ’75, now “one from the vault,” untangling myths & cricket stories with attendees, organizers, the venue’s house engineer, plus wee bits from donna jean. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu... /2

such a fantastic episode…they all are though 🙌
this week, the grateful deadcast gets into “sage & spirit,” the most classical-sounding but likely most improvised-in-the-studio piece of “blues for allah,” featuring an interview with one of the song’s 2 namesakes, sage scully, as seen in the grateful dead movie. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu... /1

Local school boards really are a great place to start of your want to get active in politics in a non abstract way
The goals are achievable, the results matter a lot, and it's a very real training ground for candidates and operatives/activists.
That's how the Rs built their electoral machine

Oh my gawd lol do they realize how histrionic they sound? Nevermind, they wouldn't know what that word means. But I picture them all like this:
a woman is standing in front of a door and laughing while crying .
Alt: a woman is running down the hall weirdly and crying .

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

I’m in my fifth decade of existence. I got my first ever pedicure today. I will not wait as long for the next. Jah bless that poor woman who had to touch my feet, albeit with gloves on; still a daunting task.
