The land I once knew!

[imanamerican63]

The land of home and brave. The land of freedom. The land of peace. The land of choice.

Now, those very same people who were hell bent on holding on to those very rights are now being taken for fools and cratering to a dictator in the making. Why would they want to a part of the destruction of our democracy? Well, the answer is in plain sight! They are as corrupt as their so-called convicted felon traitor! It’s is easy to follow the raging criminal down the rabbit hole, the hardest is to stay on the right side of history, but they are the weakest link in all this.

I blame the GOBers for all this. They turn a blind eye to what has happened and is happening plus what will happen in the future. Only a few have stood up and spoken out, not including the ones who went screaming out as they ran for cover either resining or retiring.

Yet, we are left holding the line and that line is being to be stretched. But we are the last defender of our democracy. It won’t be easy, we need to stay the course and hopefully we can overcome this disaster.

1. GOP

I have heard never-Trumpers on YouTube say that they thought they could keep the extremists in the proverbial closet and open the door to let them out to vote.

3. I suspect that is the case with many affluent older college educated R's.

They (thought) the rabble could be used to effect, and then thrown overboard. Because they're affluent, they're shielded from most of the unpleasant ramifications of their actions. But now, the ultra-rich have turned the tables on the merely affluent by giving the controls over to puppets whose anti-democratic impulses are evident even to moderate R's. It must be stressed that the current
"policy" is really a smash and grab operation run by a criminal syndicate. Short sighted and chock full of smug confirmation bias.

2. I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Republican party.

They used to be so in favor of the bill of rights and so forth. They are not just corrupt. They are also cowardly. We need to keep calling that out, chickens.
