(15,325 posts)..moved straight thru to the US 2016 election.....
They chose the guy who would be America's Yanukovych, and came prepared with the same m.o. & the same electioneering specialists as well as a purchased Media ready for the inside job.
The wise & quick thinking on the night of Jan 6, 2021, by the staff who hid the vote count from those prepared to remove them, & the admirable motion by our Speaker Pelosi to hold her House for the vote to secure joe Biden as our elected President, truly was the final thing that stopped the immediate collapse of our Democracy.
I find questionable anyone at this point speaking against our Democratic President or our Leaders.
They out themselves as either supporters of the Burn it all Down coup, or in complete denial tthat such a fragile line was not breeched completely.
There are really only 2 sides to stand on at this moment in history.
You're either with us or you're against Us.
There is no longer a middle ground.

(15,325 posts)And if that holds true, then 1st Lady Hillary Clinton was sounding the 1st of many warnings back then.
It is clear why they brought out & bought out every weapon necessary to stop her from holding the Power of the Presidency.
They knew that she knew who they were, & that it was our Democracy they were coming for.
The Vast RW Conspiracy is now here on top of us.

(33,164 posts)The looming domestic infant supply crisis wasnt on my radar.
Sure, I knew about mass shootings, pandemics, Pooties assault on Ukraine, climate change, voter rights destruction, and an on going cold coup.
I missed this. It blew right past me.
I am losing my touch.
Can you forgive me?
