The people did not wake up. They were not woke. They were asleep.
And they lost their government and their democracy to a bunch of greedy fascists.
But, they are telling us that the republicans will suffer a "bloodbath" in the mid-terms. No, as it now stands and the rate at which our institutions are being destroyed, that will not happen.
The Supreme Court has no power, as they will soon discover.
Innocent people are going to start being arrested. There is no one to protect them.
C'mon! We don't need that negative shit! We have to fight! We cannot surrender to these greedy bastards. The republicans in Congress are not our political opponents. They are our enemies.
Fuck these Fascists!

Our democracy is done.

(4,866 posts)I think hes getting a little bit of a bad rap as if hes somehow now a MAGAt or a reliable republican vote.
Yeah, a couple of the cabinet votes were questionable but he still voted against most of them and hes not voting for terrible legislation.
Ill put money on him voting no on this.

(10,225 posts)The 'damage' you refer to is from trying to make a faulty system work correctly. In any other scenario, a faulty system would just be replaced with one that did work.
Yet, we are not doing so. I wonder why? (Rhetorical.)

OldBaldy1701E
(10,225 posts)They won't replace it because there were already favoritisms in it for the wealthy and powerful. They just have corrupted it until it is only about their power and position. THAT is what needs to be addressed. Remove all of their tweaking. Our system was not the best, but it was a good one until we allowed greed to take over.
We did this because we accepted the programming that being rich was the greatest thing a human could achieve and anyone who did so must be a freaking saint. We need to remove that as well. This will be a major issue because that programming has been in play for over one hundred and fifty years.

Republicans are our poor misguided friends and neighbors who need to be saved before they kill everyone for thinking we are the enemies.

(9,212 posts)due to not holding psycho accountable for his crimes as well as others. The day Comey came out and made his announcement my father said we are living in a police state. Once they had the court all bets off for saving things. I hope I am wrong. Hrc warned about this numerous times.
