The SCOTUS and GOP are making us a cruel, unjust country [View all]

Guns? Go for it.

Abortion? No way, no how. Even if it kills the mother.

Separation of church and state? Go ahead. Use your team to pray to Jesus in the middle of a football field.

Global warming: The EPA has no right to set limits on how much fuel producers can pollute the atmosphere.

In case you haven't been paying attention, the barbarian majority of the Supreme Court is quickly destroying our constitution and ignoring the ecology of our planet.

It took the Republicans almost 50 years to get their super majority on the Supreme Court and now that they've got it, we see the results.

It's easy to say, "No one will ever vote for a Republican again." Unfortunately, millions of people are happy with the damage they've done, are doing, and will continue to do. Only a fool would miss the reality that they have declared war on our way of life. And they're winning, big time.

And our only answer to this is GOTV. Yes, I agree that we must turn out a huge vote. And if/when we ever again control the government, with no Manchin or Sinema, we may be able to make some changes and fix a few things.

Actually, my reaction to that last sentence is that our system of government will be gone, and our planet may become uninhabitable, long before we can do much in the way of repairs.

Mean spirited, cruel, uncaring people are holding the levers of power in this country. And you know what. We're sitting on the sidelines screaming GOTV, while they merrily continue down their road of destruction.

We are fucked. And much of it is because of our own passiveness.

Does all of this sound pessimistic to you? Okay, as we are careening down a steep cliff, please tell me where I'm wrong. And, if possible, tell me how we can change what's happening.

And please don't throw any "You hate the Democrats" at me. I'm a lifelong Dem, but that's beside the point. Especially when our world is being dismantled at this very moment, by mindless knuckle-dragging Huns, and we're doing, ... not much.
