Bush did tremendous damage to our country during his time in office. Now we have Trump To add to that damage big time. We may never recover from the two worst presidents in our history. And we are only at the beginning of this mess. And Trump could win again. You think we could not be that stupid as a nation. But we need up with Trump in the first place says a lot.
The most striking thing to emerge over time is how much of a fraud the election really was. And we have the MSM to blame as well as the RW garbage and the Russians. And Comey likely tipped the boat over in the first place. Tee illegitimacy of the GOP in power is so obvious now. The GOP is here to destroy the country as it has been know. The fact that they are not doing anything in Congress is no surprise. November gets more critical every day.
The state of the nation is in more jeopardy than we realize. The billionaires are still not satisfied with their largesse. They want it all and do not care if they cause third world poverty on a page scale in the US>

(629 posts)They do not want to destroy the country. Far from it. They want a country where they are the top 1% that basically enslave the lower classes (or should I say cast now?) Once their bidding is done then the poor (there will be no middle class anymore) will have to go into hiding so as not to spoil the views of utopia.

Mitch should have to stand trial for his illegal activities, starting with blocking President Obama, refusing to appoint a Supreme Court Judge. That, alone makes me think he knew about the Russian interference.

(13,305 posts)Oh wait. We didn't. The pattern is 10 steps back under Republicans, and only 5 steps forward under Democrats (gotta look forward, not backward!!).
So over time we still regress. Especially when those 5 steps forward are too often built on a complicated, fragile house of cards designed to please the most conservative members of our caucus.
When we look back on the past 25 years or so we have very little too show for it, and what little lasting, solid impact we do have to show for it (off the top of my head I can only think of gay rights/marriage) is offset by tons and tons of bad, shitty policy.
We are today more rooted in trickle down economics, the military industrial complex is stronger and more entrenched, we are more racially divided, unions are much less strong, the police state is more entrenched and corrupted, abortion rights are more tenuous and fragile and the social safety net is more crippled than any time since the late 80's.
And even now, in the face of this horror that is Trump/Republican rule and rollback of everything Democratic and right, I hear people on our side talk about rolling back "some" of what Trump has done I realize this pattern will continue ad nauseum.
