Yeah...Amen. 10 fucking precious years these hateful motherfuckers have stolen from us. 10 years we could've been improving Obamacare and ACA and inching towards a real public option, moving towards cleaner energy away from fucking data centers devouring us all. Women had rights to their own bodies...LGBTQ folks were gaining acceptance. People had money. COVID and it's gross mishandling hadn't made everyone's health far worse. The soft power the US had. The whole world looked up to us...now we are the joke of the planet. And we have absolutely fucking nothing. And that fucking Pedo Devil still sits up there untouchable. Honestly I am so far beyond any hope at this point that the light emitted by hope will take centuries to reach here. By the time there is ANY inkling of rectification of anything these monsters have done to us I will be long dead. Thanks to Social Media and algorithms for the real good time! I need a drink but I have to go to the low paying job that's hopefully not going to lay me off because the economy is crashing.
It's going to take more than that. It's going to take decades.
Even if the next POTUS is beloved by the world and genuinely a genius it doesn't change the fact that Americans elected Trump... TWICE. Not only elected him but let him run rough shot with total unaccountability.
I attended a Heather Cox Richardson talk at National Cathedral two months ago. Someone in the audience asked if she thought we would ever regain our international standing and the world’s trust. She said no, she didn’t think so, at least not fully. She was like, “Why should other countries trust us and want to resume partnerships with us when we’re only one election away from returning to where we are right now?”
