1. There's a lot of blame to go around.

I dont think people realize how near impossible it is to get your democracy.back once it's gone.

With all the automatic weapons flooded in our society...

I am preparing for the worst.

2. The GOP doesn't want a democracy.

They want minority rule and an autocratic system.
So they can have all the power and wealth in perpetuity.

3. Absolutely!

I think a lot back to the time when we were awaiting the Mueller report.... With every new disclosure those of us with a CONSCIENCE thought, aha! when "they" learn this truth it will all come apart for them.

Well, I now understand that they don't CARE about the truth. They don't CARE the tfg grabbed her by the pussy, stole from US - along with his family - to line his coffers while in office. That they are grifters, liars, thugs, common criminals. They could see him raping a 14 year old and it WOULD NOT DETER THEM.

Because it's all about POWER and HATRED and RACISM and STUPIDITY.

I'm going to try to buy a little vacant lot somewhere up in Canada so I'll have somewhere safe to be when the bloodbath happens ...

Sorry if I sound a little irrational at the moment. ...

4. You are not irrational, you are facing reality.

It is a hard reality to face. But the facts support your viewpoint.

These people do not care one bit about the GOP/Trump crimes.
In fact they admire the fact the GOP leaders get away with these crimes.

It is willful ignorance because the GOP promises minority rule and white supremacy.
It is all about racism. Yes, hatred, power, and add money.

5. This Whole Thing

is built on the premise that the majority will just go along and do nothing. I'm not just talking about the people but businesses and other government infrastructure will just go along with invalidating certain voters during an election.

It's the right's assumption that the "left" is effeminate and will just knuckle under if slight pressure is applied. I think that's a huge miscalculation on their part.

7. If the Dems Had Any Smarts

they'd cut the red counties and states off from federal tax revenue. Make all federal money matching. You want a road built in the middle of nowhere (because some senator or representative can divert money to their home district) then put up 30% to get the remaining 70% of the federal monies. You'd be surprised how many red state representative will leave money on the table because they're afraid of raising taxes to get that federal match.

Dems keep operating on the premise that if they're nice to their opponents then maybe they'll be more cooperative. And Republicans keep bashing them in the face (raising the debt ceiling, supreme court nominations). If you provide red areas with government monies for infrastructure improvements, education opportunities or even jobs, Republicans will accuse you of being a communist or trying to "reallocate" resources to "buy" votes. Let them wallow in their squalor. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
