(15,334 posts)Look, this country has been slipping toward republican rule for a quarter century now - while marinating in never ending and increasingly out and out conservative propaganda. Every day since the 90s they have become more and more mean, more and more aggressive and more and more detached from reality.
Fact is, on November 8th they already had control of congress and control of far more state houses, senates and governors.
This election simply was a fast forward of this and a big orange haired cherry on top of the shit sunday.
And, sorry, but what we see today is a country JUST FINE with republicans being power hungry lunatics who out if control at every level and using their power to further gin the game to their benefit AND a democratic party that has absolutely not fight in it at all.
I am not telling to get over it, everyone has to deal with things their own way.
But, I can tell you that I have seen this building my entire adult life, and on November 8th this country willingly chose to take the final step toward becoming an emergent authoritarian, fascist state.
We are there AND it is only going to get worse before/if it starts to get better because again, the country is just peachy with it right now, and it is going to take them doing A LOT of damage before the idiots in this country see past the evil liberal boogyman meme.
