The Illusion of Free Choice

What journalist Chris Hedges says here about American democracy was true even before Trump came along.  We have the illusion of free choice without any real substance.  George Carlin was saying this 30 years ago.

Now, of course, all this is much worse.

Do you think the American people want to prevent the decarbonization of our energy and transportation sectors?  Block women’s access to abortion?  Destroy our educational system?  Ignore the science that surrounds vaccinations? Invade other countries and steal their resources? Have armed thugs in large cities in blue states?

It’s preposterous.
