Exceptional piece Susan, having travelled the globe, not for a couple years now, however the future of this country is in a perilous state! I’ve studied world history and it’s politics for years and have come to several conclusions… Clearly real history is not taught to us in school. They don't tell us about the rich collusion that conspired to defeat William Jennings Bryan, or about the Jekyl Island coup, or the attempt to overthrow FDR (who I maintained was eventually killed). They don't tell us about War Plan Red, or how tenuous our relationship was with Great Britain in the early 1900s. They don't explain the origin of CIA, or relationship with Galen Org. They lied about Gulf of Tonkin. They don't tell us about Admiral Kimmel's testimony from Pearl Harbor. They don't tell us how Truman regretted formation of CIA, after Kennedy assasination. However, they are quite willing to feed us bullshit, such as Columbus discovered America, and oil comes from fossilized dinosaurs. Absolutely ponderous. The fact is, there are unreported trillionaires in this world, the marionettes of billionaire puppets, with vast power and resources. Woke to me, is about people waking up to the fact that we have been lied to for far too long. The fact that the $$$ owned media does not report that, but tries instead to redefine and obfuscate the meaning of woke is very telling. The promotion of civil war is disturbingly under way by $$$ TPTB.
I'm on Planet Beautiful British Columbia enjoying not having to think every waking minute about the election. I have to walk the dog up the mountain, and today he got very agitated when he saw the BEAR. I'm learning how to manage dogs and bears, so I can keep climbing up the trails. I'm not that worried. I don't think Trump has the numbers, and I fundamentally believe that most Americans want to be positive, entrepreneurial, and move forward. If I'm wrong, I'll adopt Susan and she can help me navigate the bears!
Thank you Susan for what you’ve written. Your words reminded me of the phrase “The fate of the nation was riding that night” from The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. In today’s circumstances, it should read, The fate of the nation was riding that day, referring to November 5th.
I find it difficult to ignore statements by MAGA and hard right groups saying that regardless of the outcome of the election, they intend to flood the courts with civil suits and wage bloody revenge on innocent countrymen. So much indoctrination and brainwashing to overcome.
Well written Susan. Here in Texas, early voting turnout in urban counties is going strong. Texas just might flip blue, and I sure hope it does. That would be monumental. At least, it looks like we've got a good chance of a victory for Allred. Last Friday's Democrat rally was amazing. Next week I'll look forward to crying buckets of liquid relief together with all of us!
Susan Niemann: At the outset: JD Vance is one of the very worst of a very bad lot. The fruit of an Ivy League education that nakedly throws gasoline and lights a match to start prairie fires of racial violence.
Having said that: Susan Niemann: Please, please, please take time for yourself and your loved ones.
You are fighting the good fight.
You are doing what you can.
You are not responsible for the white-racist-cultists.
You are not tainted by them.
You and I oppose them and will continue to resist on behalf of states suffering under Jim Crow, like Texas, Alabama and Florida, even assuming a victory for our Joyful Warrior, Kamala Harris.
But you have memories that you LOVINGLY share of Tim and music.
You are a good, loving person who shares of Tim and music, and your sharing is so vivid and warm.
You have developed friends who care for you.
You are not and will not be alone.
I for one am privileged to have become your friend on this platform, with the hope someday to meet you.
The evil forces must be exterminated, but I personally doubt that will be done! There’s too many evil people involved in the MAGA scheme! Hate being pessimistic!
Since Trump is the face of evil, if he’s defeated the evil will begin to subside! I still expect his tribe to attempt to undermine the election results if he loses! Being vigilant may be our salvation!
Your post really resonates. I’m scared but hopefull that we can regain our sense and strength. Nothing is ever easy and how we got here is a testament to many things. However, I strongly believe that the majority of us believe in our great experiment enough to continue the process. We as a nation have inflicted a variety of challenges upon ourselves. For the most part we’ve endured and come together. I fervently hope and believe we will once again prevail. We, our children, our grandchildren and the World are watching.
Thanks for this thoughtful piece, Susan. Never considered that we’d be where we are today. Knowing how long it’s been in the works is bone chilling. Praying hard for KH/TW and blue all the way down the tickets. I’ll pop the Champs over a FaceTime call! 💗🥂
Great piece! The ones who need apologize never will. Rascim is built into our laws and society. It's weaved into threads of most societies. We have our own American Apartheid. Look at the Southern Economic Development Model (www.epi.org).
I laugh at the Davos billionaires that meet to pat each other on the back. Make deals with a cocktail in one hand and cigar in the other, hookers waiting to entertain them in their posh surroundings, all the while plotting how they can become more powerful. Fuck us! We're collateral damage.
Democracy is fragile. Wars big and small happening all over the world fighting for independence and democracy. It will always be a battle worth fighting for. There is no shortage of malignant narcissist sociopath fucking dickwads butt plugs that will try to steal it. And we witness classic invincible ignorance fallacy. Refusing to consider immutable contradictory facts to the contrary. We're stuck with fucking stupid. Now, I will get down with the help of a ladder off my fucking soapbox. 😅
Oh, stop!! 🤣🤣 Fuck, I did jury duty. Well, they settled on 3rd degree aggravated rape charge instead of 1st degree. Holy fuck, I'm happy I didn't have to sit and hear that for 3 weeks. Trigger much?! Anyway, there I was talking politics with a couple of hammer-heads, showing them the Brookings Institute Biden policy agenda. Everything he's done. They were impressed. First thing my husband asked when I returned was, "You didn't talk politics, did you?" I said of "course not." 😆😅🤣
Thank you, sister. 🥰 I found some road warrior music to try. YoYo Ma Appalachian Music. It's kind of cool. I love Appalachian music. The Carter Family is great. I've been listening to them lately.
As I told you at lunch, we will win! Hopefully it will be in numbers too large to have been rigged. The tone of the rally at MSG was one that those in the seats thought was victorious, but the people who know what’s actually happening were low key, and know they have been beaten.
I’m sure the Biden administration has foreseen the possibilities for violence from the right, and are prepared for the fight. Joe is smart enough to build an economy that is the envy of the world, he is also smart enough to have prepared for the dirty tricks tfg and his minions are planning.
This was beautifully written apology, though, sadly, we are not the only country that’s caught in such an ugly situation. I hope we come out of this clusterfuck stronger and more determined to never let this happen again. On the other hand, I’m going to go through my emergency kit and replenish my stock just in case I have to lay low for a week. 🙄
You’re so right… other countries face the threat of authoritarianism… I used to think America was a world leader in democracy … but it can indeed happen here.
Never underestimate TPTB Charles!

Right! Education can help bring us up out of the moronic muck.

We know all of this. Go vote and lift others up rather than doing the doom
And gloom thing. NOT NOW. PLEASE
Hey Margaret. This wasn't meant to be a "doom and gloom thing" but I do appreciate you being here. I voted in Missouri already. ✌️
Such a well written letter.
I know your absolutely Spot On.
Thank you Susan Neimann for writing this for all of us concerned citizens, for a continued Democracy.
We can not let The real thief of a Democracy, get away with taking more American lives.
United We Stand, Divided We end up here, broken.
The Wealthy are drilling the holes to board up the America, We love.
Elon Musk says if Trump wins, we will have to Go through some things, Tax the Uber Wealthy!
It’s certainly been a frightening era. We need to slap back fascism and find our humanity.

So much work to do to get our citizens to understand the value of freedom. How could anyone not understand how valuable democracy is. 💙💙

Oh, Noel...that is so good to hear! I think we all look forward to crying buckets of relief....we just have to save this country. ✌️✌️💙💙

Armand, I appreciate you so much. Thank you...we are friends for sure! This platform brings people together in a sincere and meaningful way.
On my next trip east, I need to find you! I'm planning on Alaska soon! Yes! In the winter!
It should be magnificent and humbling! ✌️💙
Just think how utterly fantastic we will feel when the election results start coming in Election Day.
🤞🤞🤞🤞. Sooooo relieved. Then let Jack Smith take over!!
The evil forces must be exterminated, but I personally doubt that will be done! There’s too many evil people involved in the MAGA scheme! Hate being pessimistic!
Since Trump is the face of evil, if he’s defeated the evil will begin to subside! I still expect his tribe to attempt to undermine the election results if he loses! Being vigilant may be our salvation!
One step at a time... there will always be evil. Maybe we can work together to calm things down a little. 🤷🏼♀️

😂😂😂 No! Stay up there on that box! It’s all the truth! VOTE FOR LISA!! 😘😘😘

Hey thanks for the tip....I love YoYo Ma... I made it to Wisconsin and I'm dead tired. It's like I'm getting older or something. 😂 😘

Susan my conversations tell me that you are one of the great American’s. You truly have nothing to apologize for. ❤️💙
How kind. Thank you. We can be better, smarter, kinder!!
