Lots of missed opportunity in the past to act. We can’t change that now, we can only try to do better going forward.
I feel focusing the narrative on how we got into this emergency situation to cast blame on past non-action does little to affect any future change and demotivates others from trying.
Can we focus on what we are going to do instead of pointing fingers?
I know it feels good to cast blame, to get our anger out, and gives us the feeling we are doing something. It also weighs us down, directs our focus to the past when we need to be here now focused on what options are still available to us. We can analyze how we got here and what we should have done later.
As an outside observer, the most painful part is the usa’s really weird two team political system and how the people still put any trust into the dems at all. Watching and reading over and over about how things that are happening are “warnings” of the other things that have clearly already happened really puts history into perspective.
The us is now at the point that supporting ether party or even the nation itself would be seen as “crazy” or “misinformed” if reading it in a history book (or wiki article, etc.). The time for happy involvement in the political system to enact change was so long ago it gives me a sense of discordance reading about the actions of the american people vs the actions of their government.
Please, focus on what you can do. But also please, try and be pragmatic and not just put the future of your nation on the party that has clearly shown they are incapable of any action.
Its the two party system that allows things like APAC to function. If you could toss aside a party you would have done so as soon as this sort of crap popped up, but you can’t so both parties just get worse and worse and worse.
Well… now IS the time to act.

Now is all we have left.
