(230 posts)I think you have hit the nail on the head. Even if democrats were to moderate, will we ever have a chance again to have an election? If Roe v Wade had happened right before this election, the outcome may have been different. Two years to get used to the new restrictions, and not enough women dying yet, buffered the outrage. Guns in this country have more rights than people and it is sacrilege to suggest they be regulated.
And it is like the boiling frog metaphor. People get used to anything. Look at the demoralized people of Russia. I think apathy will set in no matter how harsh the consequences. I am almost there myself. I am not sure what to fight for anymore. The assault is on so many fronts and everywhere. I think "we're not going back" means we're not going back to a democracy.
