(33,114 posts)posted it this am. Came to DU to see if anyone had already put it up--no--and decided against posting it myself.
I have just this week been hopeful that the law and justice will catch up with the orange one and his attempted coup enablers. Then this news about Manchin turning on his promises to Biden about the BBB bill. WTF??
We must have accountability for the attempted coup on January 6th. Democrats are trying to govern. All Republicans want to do is obstruct and pander to the already rich and powerful and spread their hate du jour for people of color, women, immigrants, LGBTQ, and anyone who won't kowtow to white males as the true and only masters of the universe.
I'm tired. At 70 I'm tired of these Republican a$$holes. And I am beyond worried about the prevalence of guns and the number of people in this country just itching to use them.
I wish I could be more optimistic, but I think that the rich and powerful are determined to have their way and they are more than willing to embrace autocracy or fascism in order to get what they want.
