Yep. We had a solid 4 years for USA to figure some shit. Global pandemic to nail it home too. We didn't.
Republicans have been at this for decades. First round of Trump should have been enough. It wasn't. Now Republicans have full control.
You can only warn people for so many years. We are past that point. Everyone that refused to listen are now going to get what their wilful ignorance wanted.
The Democratic Party shares equal blame. I think my more recent posts the last few years criticizes them without mentioning the Republicans because when trying reform sinners one does not try to save the devil too.
But all my issues with them are moot if most of the country uses private companies to decide primaries and elections without oversight. And when most of the population have no issues with any of that.
But like a little child I still hoped, and offered advice and tried to educate. Now, the time for such things are done.
I’m pretty sure the democrats will win by a landslide next year, and there may even be a democratic president, but it will not change facts on the ground. It’s going to be a bad next few decades
Stop. Just stop.
It's old. It's stupid. It's profoundly ignorant.
Just stop.
Oh, I have stopped, as of today I am no longer engaging this debate. Hopefully this takes and I don’t spend energy while I figure out what to do
Tell us when you figure it out, because we’re all equally fucked.
That is so true
