But let's face facts here.
When you have a mostly corporate media who doesn't care one bit about fact/truth but only about ratings and ad dollars then you're in trouble as a society/nation. We have NO counterbalance as it relates to truth in the media. They're currently very busy kissing tRumputin's excuse my French, ass.
When you have a head of a tRumputin DOJ who will of course further double down on getting rid of voting rights for Dems/progressives and make it more difficult for US to vote, and not bother ALEC who will continue thriving, I'd say that is PAST cause for concern. And, when you have all 3 branches of the government going dead red, right, and ruskie (Now the GOP is in love with russia) and who gives more deference to russia/putin than it's own citizenry, that spells TROUBLE in all capitals.
Also, if the Senate goes to 60 or more for the Rethugs in 2018 (Which is may thanks to DINO's like Joe Manchin of West Virginia), and if via redistricting the Congress goes even more in favor of the GOP, and on top of THAT a whole full 8 years of a GOP presidency, then for the next 10 years and MORE the Dems/progressives will be in the wilderness I didn't even mention what types of devastating rulings a tRumputin Supreme Court could make that will further cripple this country in years to come).
I don't trust the GOP as far as I could throw a pyramid, and IF it gets to the point where the Rethugs can start to dig into and change the Constitution because they have the numbers to .... Makes me sick to my stomach thinking about all of the power the GOP has.
Dems/progressive are in DEEP trouble, and that's even BEFORE 2018, and 2020 gets here.
