By The Time Democrats Take Over If They Do It May Be Too Late.

And if it is not too late for Democrats to fix the damage it will take decades. Plus if the courts are stacked with right wingers and neo Nazis it maybe more difficult to get anything done. I fear that we have already suffered damage than may not be reversible. Plus the tax cut will explode the deficit so much that we will be in trouble.

expect the repukes to go berserk from early November until January. Might end up being the most dirty 2 months in US political history.

how fast we rebuild and also the gains that come from reaction to intense corruption and new awareness and repair of weaknesses. There are such things as institutional and cultural memory, and the same moral and ethical concepts and wisdom that created our mores in the first place will still exist. Not in everyone, of course, but they never did in everyone.

My fear is that we do not take over. The forces determined to stop that are not constrained by any old fashioned notions of morality or responsibility to our nation. They're viciously ruthless and determined to win.
