Pollyanna

It all seems to be going to hell so quickly. I guess when there’s a Project 2025—when there’s a plan—things get done in short order. But how does this end? Where are we headed?

What happens to America when bridges are burned and its leadership wants only to turn inwards and feed itself? The citizenry counts for little in this scenario, gets lost in the shuffle.

What’s being preserved? What happens after everything is torn apart, torn down? Is anything built up, replaced, somehow made more “efficient,” and better?

Who is being served by this evisceration?

We all need to be citizens of the world. We can’t withdraw and look out only for our own. This is how the ruse continues. This is how progress gets stymied—when we convince ourselves that it’s always been and always will be a dog-eat-dog world.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We have the capacity to flip the script. We simply choose not to.
