It's been almost 50 years since the USA violently deposed the duly elected president of Chile and replaced him with a murderous dictator. My heart if full with hope (and a bit of trepedation) about what comes next for Chile.
And for the US.

These Americans Tried to Listen to One Another. A Year Later, Here’s How They’re Voting.
A year ago, 526 voters met in Texas to talk politics. We caught up with them ahead of the election.

Main thing I learned from this article is that "listening to one another" isn't good enough. Understanding one another is required. We're frighteningly far away from that.

She’s Evangelical, ‘Pro-Life’ and Voting for Biden
Billy Graham’s granddaughter says, “This president doesn’t represent our faith.”
Eric Steig 🇺🇸🇨🇦
It's all well and good that there is evidently a move among some white evangelicals to reject Trump.

Federal Appeals Courts Emerge as Crucial for Trump in Voting Cases
Federal district courts have tended to rule for Democrats in litigation over how to run the election, but appeals courts, well stocked with the president’s nominees, are blocking them.

There Will Be No Trump Coup
A final pre-election case for understanding the president as a noisy weakling, not a budding autocrat.
Eric Steig 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Well into Hitler's rise, both British and Americans were still saying things like, "This guy is a clown. There's no real danger."

Hopefully, we'll never have to find out.

If you understand it, you'll vote for them.
