Traveling from Then to Now, I'm looking for ways to explain how a simple world, appearing complex, is still simple. Trust Yourself. Not the famous, rich, glamorous, lionized or glorified.
Repeatedly, I have seen both polls and articles about these polls, about a lack of warmth that older, more conservative Black voters have for the New Gen DSA and Progressive candidates. To some extent, it is true - I could tell candidate after candidate WHY it is so, newrepublic.com/post/213925/...

"conservatism" (lower case "c") is not a reason to vote for a Republican. Republican simply means CORRUPTION with different letters. Spelled differently. When has a Republican ever worked? Or planned? Or built? Or done? Anything? Ever? Being a CEO is not "work." Being a "manager." is not work.
One of the worries within the Democratic Party, is how Trump and Republicans use "branding" to define their opponents. Branding the DSA and Progressives as "communists" (because the word "socialist" is no longer effective) is key to the thinking of the "conservative" www.aaihs.org/the-progress...

In 1776 (the year America was born), Adam Smith published a book call "The Wealth of Nations." He wrote about the free market system being an "Invisible Hand." The Republican Party, since giving up on Reconstruction in 1877, has been invisibly rigging the economy by "any means necessary."
