(2,690 posts)he will leave behind a strong legacy of divisiveness, hatred, racism, ignorance and willful delusion that may well signal the end of the American dream. The Founders all believed in a Republic whose citizenry was well educated and well informed. They would have considered a high school diploma as evidence of education, and a trained and open mind seeking out diversity of opinion as being well informed. Boy, were they wrong!
75,000,000 voted for Flubbo the Loser a second time. I cannot see that as anything but a sign of hopeless fragmentation and ultimate balkanization, not on ethnic but on intellectual and moral grounds.
The Left argues among itself over moral and ethical issues -- because the Left takes those issues seriously.
The Right isnt burdened by such things and so, like a person deprived of conscience (or who has simply shucked off conscience) can lie with impunity, praising the Lord of Love while characterizing a murderous mob as everyday tourists, dissuading their own constituents form getting vaccinated against a disease that has killed 600,000 Americans in a year and a half, passing voting restrictive laws in response to a never-existing problem with massive voter fraud.
The 75 million worship at the altar of a sociopath and his paranoid-delusionary ministers, while those ministers and their plutocratic donors all laugh out loud amongst themselves about the suffering caused by their governmental negligence and by their outright deliberate attacks on the non-wealthy. (No, no, no, no, said Ex=Senator and marginally human being Rick Santorum, we do not want to do the will of the people. And the GOP voters all nudge each other with a drooling grin and say Now theres a man who knows what Americas all about!)
I havent given up on Old Glory -- but I may, after the 2022 elections, if things do not go as well as they should for the Democrats.
