Oh my gosh, I just saw the most awful meme on FB, posted by one of my Trump loving relatives. I am struggling with not responding to him and telling him how very offensive this is.
Cuz, yeah, being asked to wear a mask to help stop the spread of a world-wide pandemic is exactly the same thing as what was done to Jewish people during the Holocaust. SMDH.
People are truly frightening me right now. I thought it would get better after the election, but it is scarier, IMO.

The Lincoln Project is trying. Who is listening besides us? Not a single reTrumplican. They live in a vast echo chamber of right-wing conspiracy theorists. Someone signed me up for emails from all kinds of rightwing nutters. I usually just delete, but one in a while I open one. Here is a sample from one email from "The Heritage Foundation". (who or whatever the heck they are): "When churches tried to gather for worship, while honoring health restrictions—officials banned them from singing, speaking, or even meeting." "When many Americans exercise the right of peaceful protest—mobs led by organized radicals hijacked the protests and ripped down statues of American heroes like George Washington." "This is a clear attack on the nation President Washington helped found—and it’s a clear attack on your most cherished beliefs." My mailbox is flooded with these emails. I can only imagine what Trumpers are receiving that feeds and fuels their anger and paranoia. I seem to have gotten on an email list too. They are really and truly deranged!

Trump or America. On November 3rd, America won. Since then, the GOP has turned on Democracy. lucyg - Feeling less doom-y? I am! No, actually, I’m feeling MORE doomy since 11/3/20 I mean this shouldn’t have even been a question, the majority of people spoke on 11/3/20 and that wasn’t/isn’t good enough for a large vocal chunk of our population. WTAF is that? I do not even recognize my country right now. From the Tiki Torch bearing racists which were bad enough, we are now at the point where there are rallies where people carry the US flag while proudly wearing a 6MWE shirt? Like really? That’s ok now? That’s acceptable? Just wear our racism proudly on our shirts? It’s fine? It’s OK to beat the crap out of passers by because they aren’t also wearing a racist shirt? On literally the same street unidentified ‘troops’ shot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets. But it’s ok too do worse in the same place as long as you wear a racist shirt with Nazi sayings on it? Let’s fly over them in Marine 1 and give a thumbs up? That’s all A ok? It fine to throw out 81 million votes because you don’t like it? Seriously I do not recognize this country right now. The last 47 days have been utterly bizarre and I don’t know if a country can actually come back from that. Least not peacefully. This is a disgrace. *We* are a disgrace. These are the things that we would bring to the UN to be sanctioned if it happened anywhere else. How can we ever send an election observer any where else ever again with a straight face? What does our country even mean anymore? I have less hope and more doomed feeling than ever before. I feel more doomy, too. We will get through this test, because the Electoral College has spoken, and the Democrat majority in the House will prevent the attempted coup. However, I don't know that we will survive a similar test in 2024. I am convinced this is serving as a trial run for the next presidential election, and I guarantee you the Republicans will have plans in place to overturn a Kamala Harris or other Democrat win. I am also concerned with the number of Democrats who are being removed from the House to fill cabinet positions. I haven't looked into it enough to decide if the ones taking cabinet positions are from STRONG Democrat districts so that they are unlikely to fall into Republican hands the next time. Even if they are, it is always easier to win as an incumbent, and it's possible those House races will be more competitive in 2022 than they were in 2020. I am going to assume that Democrats don't take the Senate in 2022, and if Republicans win the House in 2022, they will have the deciding vote to reject state electors if it comes down to that. I have absolutely no hope that reasonable Republicans will stand up against such an attempt, as I do not believe those exist any longer. "Party over country" is all they know. Even if the empty House seats remain in Democrat hands (and I'm sure Biden wouldn't appoint them if there is a chance a Republican governor gets to fill the seat), we will have inexperienced Representatives in those seats. I am afraid this will lead to turning the House hard left, and that is NOT what we need right now. I get it--progressives want a progressive House. But the surest way to lose the House in 2022 is to turn Biden's first 2 years into a culture war. We need to be in this for the long game right now, and slogans like "defund the police" and "student loan forgiveness" are not winning strategies when we need to be focused on undoing the damage that Trump has done to our country. You cannot institute progressive policies for the long haul if you lose your power in the next election. The Republicans will use even worse "scare tactics" to win the next time if Democrats fall into this trap.

Because they are hypocrites. If someone were to ask me to define what a Republican is in one word that would be it. Hypocrites.

I have to say this to say is some hoax the Democrats created that was going to magically disappear after the election.
How many people have died from this hoax? I haven’t checked the numbers today.

Didn’t she just get re-elected? I have to say, those who voted for her certainly aren’t the brightest 💡 on the block are they.
In all seriousness I really have to wonder why voters set the character bar so low and put more emphasis on ideology. I mean in reality promises made by politicians are very rarely kept for a number of reasons. The people we elect are a reflection of ourselves, of our character and our beliefs. So to ignore bad behavior, lies, past acts is the voter saying that’s ok and it shouldn't be.
People moan and grown about choosing the lesser of two evils when they vote but we have no one to blame but ourselves gor that. Maybe if we demanded that folks that run for public office be of a high character along with our ideology we wouldn’t be faced with choosing the lesser of two evils when we vote.
