No one is coming to rescue us except us.

We have to become our own heroes.
No one is coming to save us, especially the various authority figures that got us here. The good cops are TV characters, as are the good presidents. The founders of the USA were slaveowners and it didn’t somehow magically get better between 1776 and 1945 when we got to reinvent ourselves as the heroes of WWII and our presidents started being called the “leader of the free world” while Jim Crow, eugenics, and miscegenation laws were still in effect. While native children were still being kidnapped from their parents and forced to assimilate to white culture. While our government was researching mind control so we could control our own citizens (and especially to suppress the labor and anti-war movements).
And then the self-proclaimed “greatest generation” gave their own children the world they had built on blood and bigotry and those children promptly climbed up that ladder built with stolen wealth and destroyed it behind them. They then turned their own children into indentured servants so that they could go on vacation every year and have a rental property or two. And almost none of them have the grace to acknowledge it, much less apologize.
No one is coming to save us. There are no authorities to appeal to. Yet another vote will not solve the problem.
We have to become our own heroes.
