The Real Disease

Yesterday, Kyrsten Sinema took the floor of the Senate to say that the disease of American society is that we are divided. I disagree. The real disease is that democracy is counterfeit and that we the people—at least most the people—are distracted, deceived and lack spiritual depth. This is how powerful elites like Sinema, controlling both parties, have designed it. A false unity founded on fake democracy, a frenzied life, repressed realities and incentives to keep everything on the surface. This is cancerous. We should not feel guilty or ashamed about this. We should take responsibility to heal it.
