How Bad Is the Current Poltiical Situation. I Agree with Bret Weinstein on This One

This is what I like about Bret Weinstein, and his wife heather although she isn't in this one, his, and their, sanity in assessing today's political scene, the censorship of those who disagree with the current political powers, undermining the American freedoms. The person he's talking to does agree with him that far, but he doesn't see the horrific depths to which those on the left have sunk in recent decades. Weinstein does. the other man, sorry I missed his name, calls himself an optimist and thinks in terms of an old fashioned sort of corruption he thinks is always present in polititcs. Weinstein knows this corruption is something far more pernicious than that. ,br> I'd say the underlying problem is that we are no longer the "moral and religious people" John Adams said could be governed by the Constitution they had given us, that it was inadequate for any other sort of people. I think we are there and therefore there is no solution to these problems unless that mentality somehow miraculously changes. And that would definitely take a miracle, an intervention of god.

But I'm a tiny bit optimistic myself today because of the Supreme Court's decisions on two major cases, yesterday their recuse of the Second Amendment from a "Progressive" attempt to so undermine it it would be as good as nonexistent. Thomas wrote that decision and it sounds like it's abso;lutely brillian. Then today they declared abortion not to be a constituional right and gave it to the states to determine for themselves. Both brilliant and Constitutional decisions. I'm happy for now but the "Progressives" are of course having their usual antiAmerican AntiConstitutional fits.

Anyway, here's Bret and friend:



Oh, I wanted to add that all the dire situations Bret sees looming over our heads are certainly dire if we are depending on fallen humanity to save us from them, but we'll never get out from under them unless we call on the God who is in charge of it all. but this is a fallen world, most people these days are unbelievers. tghere's no hope for the world under their governance.
