Bush Years Were Horrible. Trump Years Will Be Terrorizing. Don't Know How We Will Stand It.

When you think it cannot get worse its gets a whole lot worse. The present situation may be like the darkest before dawn but I see little evidence that there will be dawn.

We ultimately have Reagan to blame for this fiasco. He planted the seeds of destruction.

We must fight to protect the principles are nation was founded on against those who intend to destroy them. We are also a majority of Americans. If we don't win, it will be our fault, not that of our morally and intellectually bankrupt counterparts on the right who mostly have no idea what they are empowering through their blind partisanship.

If you can't beat them - join them. We get on their bandwagon and bring down this country faster then they could on their own. That way we get to the bottom faster and as the country realizes this we begins to climb back to some semblence of reason and change things for the better.
