General Discussion

Especially the decades in the making... I've been saying for years they've been planning this since the days of FDR. No R ever goes away...he just changes chairs in an administration. In this way, the plan continues. Democrats are to blame because we're not evil enough or criminal enough to think like them... so they outthink us. Dems aren't dumb... we're just dedicated to the live and let live kind of life. We're tolerant... until we aren't anymore (and thankfully, I think most of us have hit that point now). We tried to let them live with their stupidity, with calling us elite, the devil, and so much more. Right wing media amplified that and told them what worse to believe. Even words they had no definition for, like communism or socialism, they were told how to define them and then told the D's embodied that essence.

But no one here that I've read has hit on the one thing that really cinched it for too many people... she was a woman. Worse, she was a mixed race woman. Worse even still, she was Black and East Indian mixed race. Even Obama made it past the racism aspect, and we congratulated ourselves that perhaps the country had finally turned a corner. Oh, it did turn a corner, ok... it collectively lost its f*cking mind.

Hate. Hate for anything different from the male, white bread. missionary position god botherer. And until we get this aspect changed, nothing will ever change, IMO. You can flood the air waves with all the Democratic policy positions and explain them until a 2 year old could understand them. You can flood the media with "love conquers all" (which is currently ongoing... in a xtian nationalist format)... and nothing will change until you can change men's hearts. And I honestly don't know how to do that. I split from Xtianity way back in the day because of the belief that all people are born evil and must be "saved" from themselves by Christ. I honestly believed that people are born good... a blank slate... and are taught to hate. The old "Nature vs Nurture" argument. I'm beginning to think perhaps the hate is inborn and must be bred out. I dunno... I'm just tired... of all of it. I'm not going to be around to see how it turns out. I'll be long in the grave before any effective change can be manifested... if it can. And hopefully there'll be somebody to say about me, like I say about my dad today... I'm so glad she's not here to see all that's happening.
