(15,369 posts)After the 2010 mid terms when this country, for no reason other than republicans throwing a hissy fit, gave Rs the biggest mid term sweep in our lives, I put it all on US.
It isn't just Trump, this country has indulged republican ass hatery for decades - let Reagen off the hook for Iran Contra, let Bush lie the country into Iraq and walk into the sunset, gave BHO a democratic congress for two years then because of his mistake of signing off on the REPUBLICAN GOD DAMN VERSION OF HEALTH CARE this country has spent the last 6 years giving the assholes more and more power, until we sit here today with a full on authoritarian, fascist government.
These assholes are tripping overthemselves to tear down THEIR health care reform on the way to trashing medicare, SS, the environment, selling off our public commons, fucking up the internet ... And, this country seriously could not give a fuck.
People keep up with this mind set that it is half the country vs the other half.
As you accurately noted, it is THIRDS.
1/3 of us dealing in reality.
1/3 of us living in a hateful alternative reality.
1/3 of us who don't bother to even show up on election day, who far to often chew their cuds and follow the idiots in the alternative reality over whatever cliff they are taking us over.
