sky is blue...if water is wet, and ginning up bothsiderism and endless handwringing to decide how to come to such an obvious conclusion, because we might piss off the water is dry or sky is red faction. With the salivating media making a fortune playing both sides as possibly correct endlessly. As people have been hurt or dying all over the place and the earth is beginning its incineration.
What. The. Fuck? What is happening to our country and decency and common sense?

Big threats to the world, as well as the US, - which FDR fully recognized. [I'm reminded of Pelosi's educated steadfastness under attack by various, less long-headed pressures.

(868 posts)the law and the truth for Trump supports.
They fail to realize that America, as we have known it,
will disappear and devolve into a "dog-eat-dog" mosh pit
of the rich and the well connected destroying everyone's
Civil Rights.
The first to go (already demonstrated in 2016), will be voice of the people.
The next will be the cancelling ALL Federal outgoing financial aid (food and
housing assistance to the abject poor, victims of natural disasters, etc.,etc.
unemployment benefits, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, just name a couple).
Food will become too expensive for anyone with the sufficient financial means.
Housing will suffer as costs rise to unaffordable levels and beyond.
The right to protest, peacefully, will be eradicated with bullets.
Access to any medical treatment will be severely curtailed to those that can afford it.
How far is the Trump supporters go? Have they figured it out that they will suffer along
the "haters" of the left, as their lives are equally impacted as negatively as Trump's "enemies"?
The Trump supporters fail to realize also, that the rule of law, will cease to exist for the left and the RIGHT?
If and when Trump and his supporters succeed, and quash the voices on the left, you know former American
citizens, as they will have been dealt with either deportation, imprisonment or worse, will no longer be able
to assist Trump supporters.
Having defeated any opposition from the left, Trump will then target the poor, white, non-christian Right. Why?
Because they will have served Trump's primary and really only purpose for them; securing his Dictatorship.
But the destruction of our Democracy will usher in more draconian living conditions that the peasants suffered
in the Middle Ages. Upto and including worldwide mass killings, of even those die-hard Trump supporters, to ease
the "suffering" of the effect of Global Warming they refuse to acknowledge when 75% of the worlds population
have been "dealt with."
The only ones that can save us, all of us, is "We The People".
And the only chance "We The People" have is HERE and NOW.
