General Discussion

during an intense Truth and Reconciliation meeting....

I have no doubt that many are cowed by trump's evil. They've never seen anything like it before, and they fear for their families. I can appreciate that, but I do not excuse it. Not when an entire country... and all the people within that country... are suffering his delusions of grandeur. This is where I place some of our democratic reps. They've seen what happens to those who stand up to trump. I remember Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union notes, and faux-clapping at trump. And I remember what happened to her husband. I remember the representative who lost her life and her husband to trump's maga enraged minions. And those "near misses" who still have their lives, but are forever changed by what they've experienced simply by trying to be "our representatives." I weep for them... for what they went thru; for what they tried; for the loss it has meant to us.

I have no such feelings towards the repub reps. Yes, there have been a few; but even those few differ from trump only on process and not ideology. Look at Liz Cheney. She stood up to trump... lost it all, politically. But did that change how she sees the idealistic America in her mind? Did it make her suddenly more empathetic towards life? No... she's still into all politics all big money. And then we have such stalwarts as Issa (whom I detest), mullin, miller. These are devil incarnates. Nostradamus never prophesied an Anti-christ who would destroy the world. He warned of *many* anti-christs, and we're seeing a slew of them that people in their stupidity and avarice keep electing over and over again. The question becomes how do we deal with them when (and if) this enormous evil is ever turned back? And how do we do it without sullying our own souls? Right now, I have to admit, that last question is pretty low on my list of priorities. I just want them out of power and out of position or job that could ever cause harm to another living being -- human or otherwise.
