Trump and Elon are only partially responsible for the current state of the USA. They are exploiting it, and if they hadn't, somebody similar would have. What they have done is remove the veneer of morality and the shackles of restraint and legality. It took more than an election to get here.
On days like today and weeks like this week and months like this month it's very hard to argue with the old maxim that people ultimately get the government they deserve.
When is the last time your heard any politician or donor actually say a policy or decision will be best for people. "People" is the missing word. No empathy. No moral compass. No compassion. No brains. Just greed and power.
See, the country isn't behaving like this. You're in the country. So am I. So is AOC. The fascists in charge are behaving like this. Fascists and Nazis are disgusting creatures to freedom-lovers but we must fight through the disgust.
It's so depressing and heartbreaking. I try to act normal for my kids everyday but inside I am wondering what our country is going to look like in 6 months, 1 year...four years. If someone mentions the next election cycle, I laugh. That's WAY too optimistic for me.
I keep telling my kids this is one of those times we have to fight for what we believe in. For democracy, for decency. I can only tell my kids what I think is true, and that is it. Only encouraging thing to me is remembering that other people have fought before, and it is our turn now.
Thanks. It’s not adequate. I’m w Patrick, disgusted to live in a country like this. But I’m not going to get another country. And not sure democracy survives globally w/o a democratic US. So we have to fight. And there’s some consolation once you realize that. See ya at the Tesla protest.
It just sucks because it's so arbitrary we are even here...the election was so close, it easily could have gone the other way, but now we are stuck with this madman and these disgusting white supremacists. But I guess this is what we've got now, so yes, we have to stand up and resist.
Yes. Sucks in so many ways. And how do we reach some of the voters who let this happen? I don’t say all, cause that’s not possible or necessary. But some. Very difficult in our polarized country, but have to do it somehow, even if bit by bit.

Little America is upon us.
Unfortunately, I now have an answer to that question
