If you don't want to be crying again in 2028, start working now.
Some of us never quit. It's just annoying that everytime you bring up legit concerns its met with people defending the status quo. 2016 the status quo was drug to the town square and hung. I don't care if you pulled it down marionette it around, it's 2024 and a knife was stabbed through the heart of this country. Democrats still have the helm and they will do nothing, they will let it bleed out. All the power of the american government and they cannot weird it despite a lifetime working in it.
If democrats were even going to consider change they would spend their political capital, NOW. Since it is all gone come January.
Say I'm wrong and they can keep playing political footsy with NAZIs till the end of time, why, why, why, would anyone want that????
The problem with status quo defense is that the status quo gets progressively (couldn't help myself) worse the more time goes on.
The status quo has changed before. Civil rights did happen. The problem now is progress has reached the upper echelons of power and the scared white boys don't want to give it up. It won't be long before most realize power won't being given without force.
