Agreed, they're not going away. I'm just hopeful that we have consciously corrected our mistake. This bizarro spell that Trump and talk radio have been able to cast over these people may not last. They had their chance, it was a freak show, and hopefully we've learned.Very true. I guess the system has to be tested now and then. Not very pleasant. Let's just hope we've hit rock bottom.Supreme Court rejects Trump's bid to overturn election
Despite Trump's best efforts to steal an election that he lost by a landslide, in our collective joy we should not overlook the fact that the system worked. Democracy worked. The worst elements in America tried their best to subvert the will of the people, but were not allowed to do so.
America won today and anarchy lost, as it always does!
I'm so sorry but no we have not hit rock bottom.
We thought that with the bush boy.
What you don't realize is that there is no low too low for those people. There is no lie to sick and destructive. There is nothing, absolutely nothing they won't do.
What I realized in the bush boy years was that the republican presidents have progressively gotten worse since Eisenhower.
At the time I couldn't imagine what was worse. I didn't want to find out.
Unfortunately we did.
The next republican president will be worse than trump. Yes you can't imagine what is worse but take a look around the Republican Party. See how many of them have supported and enabled trump all this time. See how most of them are terrified of trump and his followers.
The next republican president will be more farther right, more fascist and more authoritarian. That republican will be worse than trump.
Don't fool yourself. These people aren't going away.
One very positive sign to me is the possibility that young people are finally engaged. Our daughters (22 & 25) couldn't freaking WAIT to vote, and their friends were the same way. If that continues (yeah, that's a big IF) we might turn the corner.
I'm always hopeful. We'll see.
