People should listen to many voices and think critically. Ultimately, each person needs to be his or her own authority. Personality cults are easy to get wrapped up in but, whether they are religious or political, history proves that they are extremely dangerous.

100% agree.

BUT, these "many voices" are slowly but surely being snuffed out by Cancel Culture.

Now combine that with the fact the Establishment that has control over that Cancel power also has control over the Media Complex and forms virtually every predominant narrative that exists.

They fabricate "facts" and then destroy anyone who doesn't buy into those facts or questions them.

Fox News is even playing a role in this. They cover for the "willfully feckless" Republicans, blowing smoke up people's asses as if they are fighting the good left-contrarian fight, but all they're doing is helping keep the divide evenly split.

And that even divide is what's needed to keep those in power, in power. If we had a large ideological consensus contingent, then that contingent would use the power of the vote to weed out the bad and usher in the good. But evenly split, there is never really enough to permanently force that to happen.

It's a game the political establishment has been playing on us for eons. And only Congressional term limits would be a definite solution to that.

But how is that gonna ever happen? Getting a Constitutional Convention is a fricking pipe-dream, and Congress isn't going to legislate against their own self-interest.
