I’ve seen a number of people trying to deny the truth, and it’s honestly sickening at this point. How bad do things have to get for people to acknowledge what I recognized on the night of November 5th? People really cannot handle reality as it is.

    Even if we vote the Republicans out in the next election, the Democratic party as it stands has been complicit in the fascist takeover, with the corporate owned media manufacturing consent the whole way. Billionaires have bought the institutions of power in this country.

    The cancer has infected our politics and public institutions. It will take a fundamental shift in public understanding, and a lot of people fighting for change before America will truly be a democracy again.

      It doesn’t need to become a democracy again, but a democracy at last. The Democrats are as much an enemy as the Republicans, the "good cop/bad cop* strategy. We don’t need to vote out Republicans, but ignore the Democrats as allies and build something new.
