It seems humanity is catching on. But is it too late?

This year especially I am a bit shocked (not very, just a bit) at how in normal life,the politicians are getting more and more insulated from the people who vote (or not) for them - I was so used to them with a captive audience (factories, building sites etc) or surrounded by a carefully vetted gaggle of supporters or Party workers.
It was ever thus, I guess, but the difference now as opposed to 20 years back is that one group has been getting richer and more powerful and ther other group is made up of their victims.

May can do nothing right, it seems, after her damp squid of an election. Good, in that her party has caused much of the mess, and seems to ignore the fact that she is supposed to be the PM of the whole country, not the complacent fools that voted for her. Her dreams of being a Thatcher-reborn are vanishing every day.

One moment of joy was seeing these Republicans coming face-to-face with the vocal opposition (in their party as well as in the others) in Town Hall meetings and having to cope with real dissent. Not everybody can be a Trump, which is the best fact about humanity.
