This passage from Dostoevsky’s "The Brothers Karamazov" aptly describes the situation in which the U.S. system of governance & foreign policy regarding Iran and the region finds itself due to its extreme reliance on 'lies':
"The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others."
The Brothers Karamazov,
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The midterm elections boil down to one simple fact: Republicans have had full control of the federal government for the past 19 months.
Unless you are wealthy or a corporation, you were taxed more, not less, because you paid the tariffs.
An illegal war was started in Iran that continues six months later despite being sold as a short four week excursion.
Gas is over $4 a gallon. Groceries are expensive.
Paychecks are shrinking because wage gains are the lowest in five years and inflation is high due to the war and tariffs.
Jobs are disappearing. Millions are losing their health insurance. The national debt is soaring.
Meanwhile, the top 1% now holds as much wealth as the bottom 90% and the president has enriched himself with billions while in The White House.
Voting for Republicans in November means voting for two more years of a weak economy that's making your life harder, while the corrupt and greedy few get even richer.
