(15,949 posts)speaking up and speaking the unvarnished truth. If not now, when?
When can we call them what they are? Oh, never?
That doesn't work for some of us.
When can there be consequences for illegal activity? Never?
Yeah, that doesn't work either.
It does do something though.
It ensures that it will happen again. What Republicans have learned from Trump is that they have to be slightly (not a lot, just a little) smarter and they can push us entirely into dictatorship, because there are no consequences for them for anything.
They can do what they want with impunity and receive token pushback and some carefully chosen, but somewhat, well, kinda, quasi-sternly worded letters stating that they should really try to be a little nicer as they destroy our nation.
Or, we can stand up and say ENOUGH!
But, it probably isn't time for that, right? Too mean?
