That's like trying to pilot a plane or a boat without reference to the currents.

Disagree. For example, how i educate my kids has far more of an impact than something like the administration trying to stop public school funding. How much i exercise or how well i eat has far more of an impact of my health than the current administration getting rid of vaccines

Say that again after your kids are forced to go to mandatory patriotic education camps, where they catch measles and die.

That's the sort of future you're heading to if you don't stand up and do something about it.

Thats what everyone says. But nobody ever ever says what things to do thst actually will have an impact..

E.g. go to the next "No kings" protest.

Emigrate.

I’m nowhere close to having kids, but if I do, there’s no way I’d educate them in a country where PragerU is considered a legitimate educational resource and school shootings happen every few weeks.

When ur entire immediate family is here (ie. Aging mom with mobility issues, kids , siblings that depend on u for housing assistance) that is not practical.

the article posted here about Germany in the 30s, about a book on looking back at the time, had a great passage about the turning point being when his 6yr old start to say racial slurs.

Your kid will grow up in an America where the vast majority do not have a parent like you and are surrounded by fools, the unvaccinated, and a corrupt and captured political system.

You do not drive on your bootstraps. Your food is not grown from your bootstraps. Your electrical grid is not wired with your bootstraps.
