Anyone who does that this time has never been a Democrat, or a Progressive, in any sense of the word.

It started with Raygun. We had some bright spots after Raygun. Clinton, Obama. But there's been a steady decline in civility, intelligent conversation, factual knowledge, respect for science and learning for decades. During that same time, RW media ramped up hatred. Hate groups grew and spread. Dems were demonized as socialists and communists. Deregulation gave corporations license to defraud the publuc and destroy the environment.

We are partly responsible. Not enough pushback. Where were LW media equivalent to RW media to counter disinformation? We still don't have any. We let it get this bad. Now we know we have to fight back hard. Should have been doing it all along instead of only complaining among ourselves. We got complacent and made the job harder now that we have reached this point.

So, it didn't happen quickly. It was a gradual erosion of our values.

But, no more. Every one if us has to fight now. The survival of our republic depends on each one of us.

That means something to me.

I talked to a good friend of mine yesterday that voted for trump last time. No way this time! She said--he's crazy! I think his, "approval" ratings now are highly misleading.

Imagine those words coming out of Trump's mouth.

First of all, they wouldn't.

Second, he would stumble over those words because the concept if foreign to him.

And finally, try to imagine those words coming from him and try not to laugh out loud.
