"SNIP..............


A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll finds that 42% of of those surveyed when asked how they felt when they think about how things are going in Washington today said there were “alarmed.” Another 33% feel “uneasy.” Just 11% choose the positive “excited.”

“The air of angst is bipartisan. Nine of 10 Democrats feel uneasy or alarmed; so do a majority of Republicans.”

1. I am uneasy as hell...

Some kind of 'uncivil' war is NOT an impossibility..

Especially with that sick violent ad and the rabid violence-prone fascists and totally ignorant assholes.

3. I really hate to appear like a tinfoil hatter.

But I think the majority of them stopped representing us years ago.
They are mostly working for the PACs and the lobbyists.

4. Alarmed would be an understatement for what I feel.

5. My "alarm" is that this isn't just Trump

and it is not going away when he resigns or is forced from office.

The right-wing and the an enabling media have normalized and rewarded behavior, and it will take a very determined generation to return this country to a functional democracy. Not only have we not started to make a recovery - it is still getting worse.
