Dear John:
well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens
United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money
isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the
electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats
and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas,
free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and were off and
running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his 'George' magazine saw
celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its
time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development
pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are
dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general?
Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump,
Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I’m certain the
poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the
conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we’ve all
been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire
to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains
strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands
some serious, serious thinking — and not Just poll driven,
demographically-inspired messaging.

#5 A major problem in both the East and West is living one's life for the main purpose of seeking entertainment, while hypocritically pretending (to oneself, first and foremost) that one is "really" pursuing other, more high-minded goals.

#6 Thanx for your efforts. I don't know why the email was blocked. It worked on my aging computer. Really the last few lines was the money quote. I've always been astounded by the arrogance, audacity and malice as reflected by this quote by these ~~people~~ enemies within our country.
