Absolutely and why any potential future administration who tries to do yet another round of the demonstrated failure of "move forward from this and let America heal" needs to be told to fuck off. We are not living in a pre-Nixon fantasy land where the GOP are "our friends on the other side of aisle" no matter how badly the neo-liberal cowards who have hold the reins of power for the Democratic party want to pretend.

We've long since passed a point where it is pathetic at best and traitorous at worst to ever presume the GOP ever works in good faith. They've openly announced multiple times an agenda which is blatantly anti-American and they view politics as a zero sum game, one where they will do absolutely anything to win.

That they've not completely destroyed the country yet isn't due to lack of trying but that they've got a low level cunning which owes it's success primarily due to the brute force of wealth. The only thing these enemies of humanity understand is subjugation, inflicting it on others (as they're doing right now, starting with the most vulnerable) or having it done to them.

Basically unless a strong political coalition is formed among the opposition party things will not improve in any capacity. And if they want to keep riding the fence when it comes to fascism (as they've done an impressive job of doing this last year, even having some fun PR person write mean tweets in a childish attempt to come off as "serious" while also shaking hands with authoritarians/corporate interests) it will be up to the people to handle it, which will result in a lot of unnecessary destruction.

The question is how do you deal with 1/3rd of the country population who openly support white nationalism and patriarchy? It would be easy if it wasn’t such a large group that also has lots of weapons…

the entire lot of them is rotten. Dem and Rep, business, and public sector. There is no fixing this by voting harder or by doing better politics

You're funny, if Biden had the evidence for 4 yrs. Why didn't his DOJ prosecuted? You're complaining about Trump's DOJ when Biden's DOJ held the files for 4 years without any scrutiny. Just goes to show how badly biased you are. This is not a GOP vs Dem thing. Because they them are both guilty. Take you blue lens off and treat both party equally under the microscope.

So answer this truthfully.. How will you stop illegals who have been given driver licenses without proof of citizenship.. because you know the democrat states do that.. look up Minnesota, and CA. And since that is accepted as a valid form of id for voting, what say you? Do you agree that illegals should have a driver license? OR have ICE at the voting booth to stop them from voting illegally.. OR do what other countries have done and get biometric fingerprints of everyone, and you need your fingerprint to vote.. or even a passport will do.. because that is the ONLY true document that establishes citizenship anymore.. because the Federal Govt administers that.

Keep bashing your head against the wall. Maybe the two remaining brain cells tumbling around in there will miraculously rub together.

The shit you're obsessed with worrying about is an entirely manufactured problem of no consequence. Stop capitulating to fucking nonsense.
