But this country as we know it I believe, is over. It started happening in W's administration. I remembered how stunned I was that a covert agent was outed by W's people just because her husband told the truth about nukes in Iraq. That was cataclysmic in my book. It was a sign that the other side was willing to do ANYTHING to stay in power. I thought it was really telling that Bush would not endorse Kamala Harris even though the choice was between her and fascism. He himself wanted to be a fascist dictator. He brought all of us together because we all saw the handwriting on the wall even back then.

Bush didn't even win the election . . . . and definitely showed favoritism to the Bin Laden family after 9/11.

With some respite when Obama and then Biden were serving, we have been sliding faster and faster into fascism. Like trying to stay upright on an icy slope and sliding relentlessly into a bottomless pit.

Maybe cooler heads will prevail as they did after 45's first presidency and all the schmucks will be voted out. But we have a long way to go before that happens and loads of shit to wade through even after it happens, if it does.

Maybe the country will split again like we did during the Civil War. I think that's what I see. The same kind of insanity as back then.

There just isn't any reason to me, to hope for improvement after this. It has become about self preservation now.
