Man, I feel like we're losing

And I hope I'm wrong, but it just seems like the Repuke disease is taking over on all the networks and nobody is trying to stop it. If they try to rise up, they're being accused of sexual assault. And there's not a strong enough voice to fight back. Please...we already have a hideous sexual assaulter in the White House who has recommended another one, and their hideous cabal is just fine with it. That old Alabama crone said she'd rather have a child molester in the Senate than a Democrat.

WTF have we become?

1. The GOP has lost its mind.

Anything is better than a Democrat. Remember, Liberals are Evil personified, and responsible for millions of aborted fetuses (AKA "Murdered Americans", as I read on FB this morning).

Gird your loins; this is getting worse before it gets better. there will be losses. It will take years to undo the damage that will be wrought.

2. I worry about the youth.

When the young people turn to Nazism, isolation, and white supremacy, that can't be good.

3. This place was over the moon 13 days ago when we trounced in VA.

And now we're back to gloom and doom. This isn't a knock on the OP - I'm just as guilty of this as anyone - but we'd probably be better off in the long run by assuming things are really somewhere in between these two poles.

4. We just won big in Virginia.

You can look it up.

12. Please keep giving me the positive stories

Help me to keep the faith!

5. Sometimes propaganda gets the edge

[lapucelle]

6. Did you just refer to a woman as an "old crone"?

[maxsolomon]

7. yep. there have been better choices.

but also much worse ones.

[lapucelle]

9. And fewer as ironic in this context.

[maxsolomon]

10. the goose is cooked.

I call her "the blindly partisan Governor of Alabama".

[thegoose]

11. Uh, yeah...

She'd prefer to have a child molester than a Democrat. I'd say crone is called for. Did you see that miserable, shut-down ***? Disgusting.

[lapucelle]

14. The word is a gendered slur.

[nini]

15. That's nicer than what I'm saying about her

..

[spanone]

8. not this 'we'

13. This is what happens when you give away your power for

20 years. Over nothing, just empty campaign slogans.

My maybe abstract analogy is that these results are like never-pleased home buyers in a market like Southern California. When no house is good enough, someone else gladly comes in and swoops it up. Within months, prices can go up tens of thousands of dollars, all to someone else’s benefit. Then you are permanently priced out of the market and are forced to rent ever smaller places. But at least in your mind, you never had to settle. I just don’t get it.

16. The US is losing in general. Were in a nose dive.

Trump purposely divided the country so that he could get elected, and continues to do so. Every day he stays in office, the cancerous rot continues. For the sake of this country, Republicans must cross party lines and impeach. They must resist the growing Fascist threat in their own party, and do what is right for the good of the country.

I’m proud to say I signed the petition to impeach. Trump is a demagogue unbecoming of the Presidency. He doesn’t deserve to be elected dog catcher.

17. This is the sad truth. Two Americas, two completely different realities.

Americans' neural pathways bearing left or right have now been carved deeply and intractably. There are now numerous issues where the two factions will NEVER see eye-to-eye.

How the United States survives this wrenching will be its greatest test yet, assuming it actually survives.
