In reply to the discussion: frankly, what I think we're doing here, is documenting the last gasps of democracy. Updated [View all]Cosmocat
(14,829 posts)I had hopes in 06/08, but 2010 was a BIG slap to the face.
This country did not give a good president and democrats more than two years, after the republicans had spent 6 years running the country into the ground, before they gave the republican's a massive mid term win.
That told me A LOT about where this country is.
I have spent the last 30 years or so, outside of having a democratic president half the time, pretty must watching the republicans skull fuck this country left and right, and this country never holding them accountable for it in the voting booths.
I don't know if or how it will get worse, but I am absolutely sure it isn't going to get better.
This country is simply too affluent in its LIFESTYLE to be sober enough about its government.
