Dear Citizens [1]

Dear citizens ,
I regret to inform you of the state of affairs in our nation today.
In the simplest, most direct terms we are, each and everyone, being ripped off.
All we have built over many generations, all the common wealth we have created and all the institutions we have built no longer belong to us, the demos.
With a few notable exceptions Citizens lack representation and therefore agency at the national level. Dominant media does not accurately inform us and alternative sources are rife with mis and disinformation. Increasingly draconian legislation eliminates possible avenues of resistance by Citizens.
Conditions we face today are the culmination of a long deliberate process. A process we accepted and frequently supported.
Today we are witness to the final throes of our already moribund democracy. It was never perfect but now that is irrelevant.
Democracy did not fail us. We failed democracy.
With sincere regret,
A Fellow Citizen.
