What I will never forgive about this era of history

While far from prefect (discrimination, inequality, the Vietnam War, Latin American covert interference, just to name a few), the USA was still seen as a model of democracy overall at the close of the 20th century.

In the 21st Century, Fox, Trump, the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, the Supreme Court, and Republican Party decided their selfish, greedy needs were far more important than any of the ideals the Founding Fathers expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

I will NEVER be able to forgive anyone agree with or tried to implement the beliefs of the groups mentioned above.

All of the R Congress critters. The judges. The Bible thumpers. The business people. The educators. The lawyers.

I have even more contempt for those who know better:
