The American Experiment had a pretty good run of two and a half centuries. It was far from perfect but despite its flaws it was a model here and around the world.
Obama said something about 20 years ago that we are not red states or blue states, but as time would tell his rhetorical flourish was a nice and inspiring thought but is clearly no longer true, if it ever was.
What has been proven today is that half the country lives in a different world, has alternative ‘facts’ and has has a world view completely different than the other half.
It was inconceivable the first time but it could be put down to ignorance, but not so for the second time. Everyone knew exactly what they were getting.
The first time, it was more of a joke with little expectation of actually winning and so they were unprepared, incompetent and bumbling. And while a huge amount of damage was wrought, at least some of the foundational guardrails of our democracy held up.
No t this time around. They have been planning and working hard for the last 6 years so as to avoid the previous mistakes and weaknesses.
There is certainly no constraints from the judicial branch. The supreme court has shown its delight in manufacturing whatever rational it wants to support its agenda.
Civil servants who uphold their duty to the constitution will be replaced by cultists.
Project 2025 and the rest of agenda to be implemented will be devastating not only for our public lands and wildlife but for our democracy.
I weep for my beloved!
