The American Experiment died with RGB

Our nation is now dead.


I will have to seriously start figuring out how to escape before trump seizes control

but trump is going to put Ted Cruz or some other far right sycophant on the USSC and take control of the government and make the executive branch control all of government and use his new USSC majority to rubber stamp it

realistic.

The significance of this cannot be understated

From the ACA to reproductive healthcare the far religious right now have a full run at their entire wishlist.

It is not unrealistic that we are now on the verge of a theocratic dictatorship

None of this defeatist shit!!!

Get up off the floor and look at what you can do for your country, because it takes all of us. She was a a major icon for our democracy but I'm not dead yet and neither are you.

This just shifted my ass into overdrive. She is one reason I didn't kill myself years ago and I am not going to let her passing be a reason to fall apart. The best way to honor her is to fight the fight even harder now that things are a little more intense.
