I’m with you. I’m trying to stay positive about the future. We have made some progress fixing what they fucked up last time around but it seems like every step forward we take, they pull us back 1.5. I’m trying to not grow into the cynical old man that some have become (I’ll be 43 in a few months, not really old I know) but it’s getting harder to see a future without a theocratic dictator in charge of this country. That’s what they want and they said as much at cpac.
Our only hope in the short term is that they have pissed off enough young voters (who usually don’t vote) that we keep our current adults running things and add enough to actually make some shit happen.
If trump (or even haley) wins this year, this will usher in our first dictator. It won’t be trump but it will definitely be whoever they install after him (or her) or the ones after that.
My real fear (and I don’t actually fear much) is that if trump wins again, the left despite having an actual majority, will never hold power again without an actual civil war.
My only solace is that conservatives are generally stupid. Even their most intelligent “thought leaders” are charlatans for the most part, and their smartest (relatively speaking, of course) politicians are all hubristic narcissists.
They’ll toe the line just right for some time, get cocky and do something so outrageous that turns the slow boiling frog pot into an instant rolling boil causing them to jump the fuck out. But that could take 30 years, who knows.
Despite that, they have done and continue to do serious damage. First abortion (really women’s health care), now in Alabama and likely others, embryos are considered children.
I will never vote for a republican over a dem but holy fuck, the dnc and the dems need to get their shit together and start fighting back and stop appeasing the terrorists.
