Does anybody else feel they are in the Twilight Zone when

[raccoon]

A POS major political party has a criminal who tried to overthrow the results of an election as their candidate for POTUS?

1. 100% something I never anticipated in the U.S.

[usaf-vet]

5. Let's start this off right for the younger veiwers in the audience. Those of us who lived to see it live. Click below.

[FalloutShelter]

2. This is exactly how I feel.

There is an entire political party that is down with this rapist, traitor being in the oval again.

I don’t want to hear about Reps hand wringing in the congressional coat room.

Dems should set up a mic on the Capitol steps and invite any Republican congressman or senator that disagrees with the nomination of TSF to come on down and publicity denounce him.

Otherwise I call bullshit! They are ALL IN.

[Traildogbob]

3. Most of the

Twilight Zone stories seemed much more realistic.
We may never wake from this nightmare.
Maybe I actually died in my Motorcycle crash in 2014, and I am in my eternal hell. Guess I shoulda went to church. Damn I have been afraid all these assholes would be in hell and I may end there. Shit!!!!

[EndlessWire]

22. Yeah, this is what I feel.

Maybe at some point I died and this is the punishment selected for me. If tRump gets back in, he will never leave. It breaks my heart; maybe that's the point. What's really astounding is that what is happening to us is what must have happened to Germany with Hitler. Why people would actually think that this pasty-faced monster will benefit them is beyond me.

I think that people available today think they are living inside some game where there are no real consequences, and that they can undo any bad choice they make. This will be to play for keeps, and they have no idea of what he will really do, except that people who worked for him or knew him are warning us that he means it.

The people who back him think that they will get a do over in four years. They think that our government will not be changed and that elections will be available to them. All their private little hells aside, how will we fix this?

[Traildogbob]

23. 100 percent

And when they realized they have been royally fucked and think their almighty war toys will allow them to end the dictator hell, that’s when the GQP WILL come after their precious guns. And all the damn gun stores and gun shows will no longer exist.
Too damn use to being able to start over when they lose a video game with a clean slate, nobody really dies.
Keep your head on a swivel, EndlessWire.
Shit slide is rolling down hill, picking up speed like a damn Avalanche on Mt Everest after an earth quake (November).

[Emile]

4. This game owning the libs has gone too far.

They want to throw away our democratic republic for a dictatorship.

Cruel fucking joke.

[multigraincracker]

7. In the 1930s the German farmers

were Hitlers base. Then they were the first sent to the Russian front.

[Boomerproud]

6. "Twilight Zone", "Living on another planet"...

Can't do it again.

[usonian]

8. I found Twilight Zone prophetic.

[dlk]

9. It's easy to underestimate how many truly awful Americans there are

It's also easy to underestimate how far they'll go in service to their extremist, reactionary agenda, and they never rest.

[NJCher]

33. They never rest

Because they make money at it. It’s all about money for them. Trump, santos, green, all of them find a way to shill and massage their pitiful, pathetic egos at the same time.

If any of them had to go out and really make money from an enterprise, they couldn’t do it. Trump and green— inherited wealth. Santos? I don’t even need to comment on that one.

Take the $$ and the ego massage out of it and they would on the street, holding out a tin can to get a few bucks to go to a fast food joint.

[jaxexpat]

10. The worst part is when you find yourself getting used to it.

[StarryNite]

11. Yup, everyday.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Did I die and go to hell?

Sometimes I wonder.

Devils and demons seem to be in charge here.

[Ping Tung]

13. "Insanity in individuals is something rare

"Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule." - Friedrich Nietzsche

[DENVERPOPS]

31. Perfect PT...... NC

[malthaussen]

14. Actually, no. But I never bought the "it can't happen here" propaganda.

This sort of thing goes on all over the world. There's no necessary reason why it shouldn't happen here.

-- Mal

[Uncle Joe]

15. That's the price of oligarchy,

if *rump weren't both wealthy and corrupt, it probably wouldn't happen but the combination is like a Venus Flytrap for the political party and their corporate media enablers without any morals.

If there is no solid moral foundation base, you can't build anything and the GOP power structure is straight up and extremely narrow, designed to serve only those at the very top, so *rump or another corrupt oligarch have for all practical purposes become their only choices.

Thanks for the thread raccoon.

[Xavier Breath]

16. All I know is when Jack Klugman came to life the other night

and challenged me to a game of pool, he said such comparisons were ridiculous.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. It really amps my sense of ennui when the MSM goes on as if he's a normal candidate as opposed to the criminal he is.

It goes with selling the great commercial mythology of perpetual debt and social insecurity of the "American Dream" life-style. Including false equivalence, distorted and incomplete history, moral relativity, and personal firearms as a constitutional requirement. Orwell couldn't possibly have imagined just how far we've come.

[bedazzled]

18. The episode "He Lives" describes now perfectly

The episode "The Midnight Son" a probable future.

I think Rod Serling was a prophet

[triron]

20. Please elaborate on the plot.

[bedazzled]

21. "He's Alive" (my mistake) has Hitler coming back to life

Dennis Hopper is the lead and it's terrifying.

"The Midnight Sun" is a pretty good representation of climate change.

Most of the shows in that series are worth watching

[bdamomma]

28. Oh I

remember the "Midnight Sun" episode, that was quite telling.

[triron]

19. I've felt that way since 2016.

[Silver Gaia]

37. I've felt that way since SCOTUS installed George Bush.

Al Gore won. That was the start of my Twilight Zone nightmare. I thought it ended when Obama was elected, but that was just a reprieve. It's an alternate dimension. I want to go home.

[Bundbuster]

24. I feel that I'm in the Twilight Zone when shit like this no longer shocks

[SupportSanity]

40. They are not hiding it anymore. Religious fanatics taking away our freedoms.

I'm speechless. Separation of Church and State? Thanks for the links.

[IcyPeas]

25. It's like a sleep paralysis nightmare that we can't wake up from

[Think. Again.]

26. I've starting replacing the word "reality"...

...with "surreality"

[bdamomma]

27. I just

want this POS to stop spewing his hate, division and outright stupidity.

Him and his fucking cult can go to HELL.

Let's lock him up!!!!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

29. Yep. Every day

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

30. May as well have some music for it,

[3catwoman3]

32. I regularly ask myself what the hell planet/country...

…I’m living on/in.

[NJCher]

34. You think this is surreal

Wait until AI shakes things out.

[BigmanPigman]

35. I've been calling it Bizarro World

for 8 loooooooooooooooooong years. Up is down, black is white, yes is no, etc. The US is a totally a fucked up country at this point in our history. Everyday I say to myself, "Man, am I glad I never chose to have a kid".

[Cha]

36. Oh Yeah.. Many Times Deep in the Twilight Zone.

[NanaCat]

38. If you think about it...

We've been living in that Twilight Zone since Nixon. He was a criminal who not only tried to subvert the election process by breaking into opponent's offices (among other crimes), but also committed literal treason when he interfered in the Vietnam peace process.

Reagan was also a traitor when he promised arms to Iran to disrupted Carter's deal to release the hostages--another subversion of the electoral process.

Every GQP POTUS since Hoover has been a criminal. And, yes, I count Ike in that number for the many democratically elected leaders he had overthrown and even assassinated (like Lumumba in the new Congo Republic).

[Kid Berwyn]

39. The POS traitor is beholden to Putin.
