Democrats have spent 50 years trying to find “common ground” with a political party and movement that would gleefully murder our families while they sleep.
Democrats believe that the ONLY way American democracy survives, is if we can find some “compromise”.
It explains why Dems can win the presidency, and majorities in the House and Senate, and gladly give a “seat at the table” to Retrumplican policy goals; but, when Retrumplicans win with less than 50% of the voters, it’s “my way, or the highway snowflakes”.
I don’t know about you, but my desire to compromise for the “common good” died the first time this FUCKING fascist moron was selected.
We’ve been at war with people, including some of our own “friends, families and neighbors”, that would gleefully murder us if it would make eggs a dime cheaper.
There will be no “coming back from this”.
History will show if American democracy is worth fighting for. It will show if decency, respect, empathy, compassion, honor, integrity, law and freedom survive, or are murdered by Trump and his criminal gang.
Thankfully, I am old and likely will not be around to see how it all works out, but let’s just say I’m not hopeful.
