(22,976 posts)Most good progressives I know are sick of this as well -- but such diverse issues as women's rights and reproductive rights; racism, LBGT rights and xenophobia; a decent living wage and responsible & ethical behavior by corporations; weapons proliferation and loopholes; universal and affordable healthcare; illegal, immoral and unpopular warfare, etc. -- should ALL have been addressed and corrected by now. But they're not. In fact, they're all arenas of terrible risk, thanks to the continuing efforts of right wingers.
And because of those efforts of right wingers -- who insist that the focus of everything should be first-person singular, instead of a greater good -- people are dead and dying, homeless, jobless, paid less, and live in fear. Anyone who would inflict such pain IS sub-human, in that they cannot or choose not to feel anything positive about their fellow humans.
Which is why, as sick-making as it is, the fight against those who would snuff out the flame of decency and humanity is a never-ending task.
