Yeah, my wife and I went into "exile" during the Bush II years. I couldn't stand the lies of the Iraq war and Afghanistan. I hated what the Republicans were using that war to do to the country.
"The Department of HOMELAND Security" as if calling the "Gestapo" the "Department of Hugs" makes it better. I was still so angry over 2000 and so bitter over the Supreme Court giving power to a Republican because they were dominated by Republicans.
I knew right then, that decision was the beginning of the end of America "as we knew it".
It breaks my heart. It's White people not being able to let go of the fucking racist crap and just be "people". It's the thing that I thought we were going to get past finally come back to destroy us.
I think "fascist America" is coming if Trumpublicans win in these next 2 election cycles. It won't last.
They are so corrupt and their "ideals" are so delusional that they won't be able to make "Apartheid America" last more than 10 years. Plus demographics are against them. The country will continue to get browner no matter what they do.
Their time would pass.
But the damage they will do is incalculable. If they take power, America as the world superpower is over. China will ascend and we will become a "second string" country.
