America has lost their moral compass. Sorry to say, but USA might never be the same. I invited everyone to read a little about how societies and empires have collapsed. Spoiler alert, starts gradually and then move fairly fast.
Republicans. Republicans have lost their moral compass (if they ever really have one, and that's debatable).
Remember: most of the nation did not vote for these fuckers.
Yes that's true.
But there are 90 million people who didn't care if these people were in power either. I wouldn't say those people have a moral compass either or we wouldn't be here now.
I would agree about some portion of them. I will say a whole lot of people are just checked the hell out. Many people think their vote does not matter and take virtually everything for granted.
But then there are the people that DID know better, but thought they'd play games because of Gaza and/or because the Democrats did not give them a pretty, pretty pony. They convinced others to be just as apathetic, too.
Infuriating.
Were you around when Obama promised to close Gitmo? He never did and the public never pressed him on that.
he legitimately tried though
I'm more angry that the public didn't press him and the rest of the government to do more. It's a moral failing of the country as a whole.
And now it's expanding.
