(5,808 posts)We express our outrage but nothing changes. Then another outrage comes along. We express our outrage. All that happens is we talk about fixing things in 2018 or 2020. That will be far too late but we somehow comfort ourselves by believing that the usual way of fixing things turn them out of office at the next election will work.
We are in uncharted territory at this point. What happened in 2016 has, no doubt, been in the planning for a long time. Putin got his man, tRump, to be the front end of the take over. The one we all saw. But behind the scenes we have far more sinister and dark figures at work. Do we think a single American would have willingly voted for trump if they knew that Putin organized this coup? tRump is being USED and he is too eaten up with his own self importance to get it. They will cast him aside like a worn out shoe when they are finished using him. If he doesnt have a food taster, hed better get one. Putin has some SPECIAL chocolate cake for that dolt.
But this is how it is done. A day at a time. Just wear us down. And so far, they are succeeding. If we wait until the next election to save ourselves when we already have a pretty clear idea of what was done and continues to be done to us, we might as well surrender and accept that the country we thought we had is done. Finished. Caput.
Waiting to do SOMETHING is not an option. Period.
