A week from now this will all be over.

Looking at the history of America and overlaying it with the History of Trump, I dont see a real issue. The things that made America what it is, great or not, are not now and have never been anything to do with what made Trump what he is, no matter what you might think that is. There will always be the greedy and always be the ignorant. There will always be the fanatics. But the sheer weight of the American people will not be turned by such people..
Now America does have real problems and I am not saying it will triumph. I do think its best days are past.. But 20 years from now Trump will be a footnote and a bad memory, compared to the real issues.😷

I think right wing domestic terrorism may be here to stay.

@Human1000 Sad but true, it seems :(

@Human1000 Timothy McVeigh Agrees with you. But it wont triumph. The people are not with them.😷

@Human1000 Right wing domestic terrorism isn’t new, just [b]back[/b]. The lynchings, burnings of crosses and bombings of black churches were [b]all[/b] at the hands of right wing domestic terrorists. Trump has brought that kind of hatred back into vogue with a vengeance. 😞

@Human1000 Far Right and Far left will take over the American political system in coming years. Reason? Sharp decline in numbers of moderate R and D politicians in the Hill.

@LeoWulf I sometimes imagine how much we could get done if I just had a moderate republican to negotiate with.

LeoWulf · 36-40, M

@Human1000 Most moderate R and D are over 60 and their numbers are declining by each election. Unfortunately

@Human1000 There ARE moderate Republicans.. . Maybe this woll clean out a few o of the most extreme ones. (Yes.. I know thats optimism.)😷

@Human1000 yes, they suffer much less violence and discrimination. If you’re white carrying a rifle your just a hunter. Image if it was BLM marching into the chamber to change the vote? How would it have turned out?

@Mindful You [b]know[/b] how it would’ve turned out. Just imagine every police encounter with a black man where the cop decided he “felt unsafe”. Times about [b]200[/b]. 🙁

Mindful · 56-60, F

@bijouxbroussard can’t stand that people say there’s no racism ( not saying violence on any side is okay)

bijouxbroussard · F

@Mindful Most of the people who say [b]that[/b] (by and large) are [b]not[/b] its target. So they really wouldn’t know. 🤔
