Like it or not, as American history goes, we are in an utterly unique situation. A sickly rich fascist as president, who is despised by the majority of the population, and supported by the violently inclined stupid, and the obscenely rich oligarchy. 1 of 2

True but since history only rhymes and never repeats, EVERY country is ALWAYS in an utterly unique situation.

I remember an off-hand quote from decades back, can't recall who. "The process of making history is seldom a comfortable event for those who are making it at the time." 2 of 2

I’ll say that even if all of my hopes come true and we get to reform and rebuild our nation; the struggle will be all too real between now and Jan 20. 2029.

As I said in a discussion on another platform, for good or ill, the next 5 to 10 years are going to be explosive. Probably literally in some cases. I hope I'm there to see us emerge into the light.

Believe what you will and It’s clearly a possibility but TBPH We don’t know that to be necessarily the case.

Vance hasn’t the full love of the base and has the charisma of a ball of worms. And do you remember the mess it took to pick a speaker last time? I’d love to see that again. Grassley is like 1,000 years old and won’t command the base either. Without the base to threaten & cajole, it could all go

Agree! The challenge- where we had a KKKlown show 2017-20, with some checks & balance, this time we have Heritage Foundation & Federalist Society Along with the prosperity evangelical cult & the billionaire bros They’re all corrupt- condemnation from evangelical community after MN pastor killed 2?

Their oaths included a quiet pledge to act corruptly and destructively.
