Your review of shifting sands is well-done Eduardo! It's true, the new centre in American politics (and in some other states as well) has shifted to the right. The allure of a supposedly safe, comfy & glorious past, along with fear & inability to cope with quickening change, are powerful factors in the popularity of MAGA and anti-woke politics. Racism, homophobia, islamophobia & antisemitism often characterize these movements. Organized religions of the past are having "death throes" - minority fanatical & fundamentalist revivals in an effort to hang on to power. However, challenging as it may be, the polarization seems to be leading to an awakening of civil engagement. Hopefully an authentic dialogue can emerge as people realize we are, after all, ONE (human) race and need to help one another. Sounds simple, even naive perhaps, but so many are resistant to this truth which if roundly embraced, could activate a "spiritual revolution" leading to the resolution of many political & economic conflicts - societal & international.
Muy interesante e ilustrativo el duro analisis que haces del cambio de parámetros de creencias de amplio espectro. Esto hace reflexionar en muchos estudiosos la idea de que cuando ya se pensaba que estaban claras muchas respuestas en la actualidad nos cambiaron todas las preguntas. Mis analisis en Antropología cultural sobre la permanencia de creencias y valores me obligan a cambiar los tiempos de permanencia de las mismas. Te felicito por tu claro analisis. Muchas gracias por tus reflexiones basadas en un analisis muy completo de la situación.
We must support what we definitely know is good & beneficial for mankind while this wave of ridiculousness burns itself out.
From your lips to God's ears!

I can only hope so! Bit can we learn from history or are we condemned to continue repeating it?
