(15,332 posts)It all seems so helpless.
I was a young adult in the early 90s and when I was exposed to AM radio, Limbaugh, etc. I was just flummoxed at the appeal. It was complete nonsense, but I knew so many people who lapped it up.
Over the last quarter century I have seen it get a bit worse with each passing day, leading up to this.
And, honestly, I don't see a way back. Maybe a slight push back. MAYBE.
But, the pattern is pretty clear that even if we can get the House/and or senate and maybe the POTUS, the republicans will throw a fit like they did in the 90s with Bill and the last 8 years with BHO, the country will get worn down and give them power back.
They drag up 5 steps further into the rat hole, we maybe scracth back a few, but the country just can't stop indulging their bullshit.
