but someone would need to convince them of that, which isn't going to happen. There's no path left between them and reality, they are too far away and after 8 years, that path has overgrown with weeds. They will continue to hate and to spout their nonsense theories for the rest of their days. And they will surely glom onto some new source and that will be their beloved savior and cult leader 2.0. Mental illness is a sad thing.

In our system, the only way to stop them is to buy them.

Michael Bloomberg seems unwilling, and other rich folks are on the traitor's bandwagon.

I guess Bezos could lose half his fortune every time he divorces. The first one was very good, with his ex donating awesome sums to great causes.

Mainly, to solve a problem, you have to acknowledge that one even exists.
In a culture of blame, it's always someone else's fault.

And that's for psychologists to explain to me.
How do you take responsibility for anything, and not blame it on someone else.
I am not familiar with addiction recovery therapy. Jesus gets invoked in many. And that's beyond me.
TBH, there are some religious folks trying to recover the lost ground, but I don't sympathize a "hell" of a lot, because they remained mostly silent or low profile while religion was being hijacked rather brutally.

A common way is for people to "hit rock bottom" and that's not good at all.
Many don't come back.

.... or we will be stuck here for decades. It will be like whack a mole every time you try to vote on or pass a bill. Then the same MAGA bullshit every time we hold an election.

These Fascist must be deprogramed and rampant fabrications and prevaricating lying during political discourse must be curtailed.

American Democracy depends on informed voters for a functional government. Habitual lying and cheating is causing great damage to the fabrics that hold our society together. This welcomes Fascism as a possible viable alternative for some people although ludicrous and insane.

If we don't get a handle on this expeditiously American Democracy will soon be no more.

Dems stand for freedom, free will, and free thinking. Dems don't want no stinking Big Government controlling thought, the way the G.O.P. and Russian cronies do.

Think what you like. Just don't go around trying to FORCE your outlook on others with lying, cheating, propaganda, and threats -- as the G.O.P. does. Systematically.
