This feels painfully current. For What It’s Worth was written about protest, power, and people being pushed until they push back. Hearing it now, with Minneapolis once again seeing anger spill onto the streets, it lands hard. Different decade. Same warning signs.

I usually try to stay balanced and nuanced in my posts, and yes, Trump and his administration have done far worse over the last 8 months, but there’s something about this that really grates. The sense of entitlement, the tantrum when denied praise… it’s just exhausting, and so predictable.

He needs an “enemy within” to keep his narrative moving. Migrants done. Elites done. Now Farage blames teachers . Middle,class, unionised, and guilty of knowing things. Nothing frightens a wannabe,demagogue like literacy. He's importing Christian right, bollocks.
