General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Is it me, or are things spiraling out of control? [View all]I have had heartburn my entire adult life, about 1990 to now because I saw how big of assholes Rs were back then (Nwet Gingrich and company) and have NEVER understood how so many in the country are cool with, or even cheer on their attempts to blow up the SS and anything related to the New Deal.
AND, every time republicans have one of these surges they are worse and dig us into a deeper hole and they have less repercussions for them as a party.
Nixon had to flee before being convicted in impeachment hearings, and many associated with prosecuted. Reagen was partitioned off and did not suffer for the shit his admin did, and very few saw justice. Bush never was held to account for Iraq, and while they got four year TO from 2006 to 2010, the country saw fit to give them the greatest mid term landslide in our lives because BHO passed the REPUBLICAN version of health care reform.
I told people Trump was not joke when he came down the elavator, that he embodied everything their party had become and if he got the nomination the country was absolutely stupid enough to make him POTUS.
And we have seen the country follow the Rs lead in completely rolling over to him while he has been in office.
Our soul is lost, we have lost every bit of moral authority our brave troops sacrificed for us in WWI and WWII, and decades of right wing slander of liberalism has most of this country CHEERING on the destruction of anything that benefits the average person.
The republican party blows up ANY attempts to reform health care and the country could give a shit while losing its bloody mind over potential for a transgender to use a public bathroom.
We, the sane and decent people are trying to push mud ...
