Summary

The autocrats of the world are on the rise and one party in America seems more than happy to join their club. We need a resurgence of democracy, not only at home but around the world or those who would seek to sink the west will finally succeed and the values and human rights that we have come to take for granted will be a thing of the past. Stick with me, so you know where we are and we can point our way in a better direction. I say all of this not to upset you, but to prepare you. We have to accept the reality of the problem if we’re going to have the courage to solve the problem. We will either be the heroes of democracy or the victims of its demise. The choice is ours.

0:00.0	Politics Girl has a new sponsor, Blue Blocks.
0:03.2	As you can probably imagine, I spend a lot of time staring at a computer and my eyes are wrecked.
0:07.5	I was told that I should start using blue light glasses because they can apparently help cut down on digital eyes,
0:12.0	trains, or eyes, fatigue, even headaches, which I get a lot.
0:14.9	I've tried the internet, blue light glasses, and if anything they made my eyes more tired.

0:26.3	They're clear lens glasses outfitted with my prescription and send right to my door.
0:30.0	And I have to tell you, I love them.
0:32.0	No joke! They're better than any of the other ones I've tried.
0:35.0	Maybe because Blue Blocks has made an optics lab in Australia not mass-produced
0:38.5	somewhere less expensive. Maybe because they're using extensively tested science-backed technology
0:43.0	and not just slapping a blue light sticker on it and calling it a day.
0:45.8	But whatever it is, it's working.
0:47.7	Blue box glasses come in non-prescription, prescription, and reading options.
0:50.9	They have glasses for every need. Blue light for digital eye strain,

1:03.2	So go to blueblocks.com slash politics girl and use the coupon code
