In Last Chance to Save American Democracy, political strategist Haven Scott McVarish takes us through the intentional dismantling of democracy begun by Republican party funders after Obama's landslide in 2008. These funders and their willing Republican servants weaponized unlimited dark money, extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, and diversionary propaganda to make it impossible for Democrats to effectively govern or win a majority. Only Trump’s massive unpopularity allowed Democrats to barely win the trifecta in the 2020 elections.

Wie leicht - das in einem Kind zu sehen und zu sagen: "Ich sehe das Gute in dir!" Wie schwer, das sich selbst oder einem anderen Menschen zuzusprechen, der gerade grandios gescheitert ist, versagt hat, schuldig geworden ist.

Oder junge Menschen, deren Eltern manches vermasselt haben." Und so sieht und sucht er das Gute, entwickelt Konzepte, schafft Einrichtungen, Häuser, Programme.

Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951) stands as a towering figure in Canadian history—a feminist trailblazer, social activist, author, and political leader. Her journey began in Manitoba, where she moved with her pioneer family during her childhood. As a rural teacher, she keenly observed the intricacies of village life at the dawn of the 20th century. A dedicated suffragette, Nellie led the charge for womens enfranchisement, making Manitoba the first province in Canada to grant women the right to vote in 1916, a milestone that was later achieved nationally in 1918, ahead of both the US (1920) and ...

The American way - independence, entrepreneurialism, liberty - has been under assault for decades. The cultural foundations of the United States and its institutions are devolving along the line of some futuristic apocalyptic novel and producing social, moral, and economic dry rot that can lead only to chaos and ruin. Attacks on individuality, freedom, and personal responsibility for most of the last century have resulted, as Alexis de Tocqueville once predicted, in a gradual degradation of the people and the descent into slavery of once-free people.
