Showing Original Post only (View all)Tell me I'm wrong about the messages Virginia voters sent [View all]
I'm not much of a "nuance" guy. Just 9 months ago, for the first time in United States history, a sitting President blew up our peaceful transfer of power...FOR THE FIRST TIME IN UNITED STATES HISTORY!!
This former President should be a pariah. He's NOT!
He is still the leader and face of his party.
The Retrumplicans shouldn't be able to win as dogcatcher, unless and until they completely repudiate this evil fuckstick, yet they win a hell of a lot more than dogcatcher.
Here is the messages I take from Virginia.
- Violence is not only acceptable, it is rewarded.
- Playing footsie with violent racist is not only acceptable, it is rewarded
- Threatening to murder School Board members and their children is not only acceptable, it is rewarded
- Supporting an authoritarian dictatorship is not only acceptable, it is rewarded.
- The violent overthrow of American Democracy is not only acceptable, it is rewarded
- Vigilante Bounty Hunting to deny Americans their Constitutional rights is not only acceptable, it is rewarded.
There is no way to spin this.
Virginia stared evil in the face, and a majority of them chose evil.
We had better get to work, because if we allow these messages to be our future, well...that future looks pretty fucking bleak.
