In reply to the discussion: Tim Walz Demands Answers After University Student Detained by ICE [View all]BumRushDaShow
(150,558 posts)30. The "past" has been recycled MULTIPLE times in this country over the past 235 years
It's a Wash. Rinse. Repeat. moment.
It's not just about the last election - it's about the history of this country and its inability to deal with certain segments of the population and it inevitably leads to massive discord. The head explosions after the election of Barack Obama as President became flaming goo with the election of Kamala Harris as VP.

WE ARE NOT GOING BACK
And WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING RIGHT NOW??? Making sure TO TAKE US "BACK".
If people can't "see that", then there is nothing more that I or she can do.

What happened is in the past. We are on a razor's edge of losing our democracy NOW.
