Unless Manchin and Sinema (and possibly DiFi) change their attitudes immediately this country will fall into fascism before this decade is over.

Then Manchin, Sinema and possibly DiFi will be counted among those responsible for our great democratic experiment collapsing under the weight of fascism. Do they want to go down in history as the people responsible for democracy's downfall? Apparently so. Apparently they don't think republicans have it in them.

Republicans covet power over our country and it's people without reservation. They're scum, power mad scum.

I’m starting to think he’s the most naive and proudly ignorant adult walking the face of the Earth. He’s fixated on everybody being nice and getting g along in the Senate, and he has absolutely ZERO idea of the kind of weasels and jackals he’s actually dealing with.

He thinks they want to play fair. Boy is he smokin’ something.

they don't want to play at all. In order to play, there must be at least two teams on the field, playing the same game by the same rules.

Republicans are determined to be totally obstructionist, thereby negating any type of "play" these Senators might have been used to playing with them. They've totally changed the game and the rules, and are no longer willing to "play" at all.

Unless those three Senators accept this, and totally change their archaic ways of governance, democracy in this country dies. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
