Just experienced another "road rage" incident. It's becoming common. NEVER used to happen. Laws and rules are optional.

Don't know what to do about it. Seems like we are spiraling and I'm sure 45's cabinet and Vlad are excited to see it.
I don't do "social" media but it looks pretty ugly as well, from the reporting I see.

I'm just wondering why "our side" always has to set the example for democratic leadership, civility, adherence to the

RULE OF LAW FCS, while the other side can do everything up to and including to a coup and coalesce behind a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, Putin-loving, Kim Jong loving, Victor Orban loving, Xi loving and gaslighting "the enemy within" (that would be us.)
We have to decide if we are going to actively resist, knowing the Orange One would LOVE to impose martial law, the Insurrection Act, and whatever else for the sole sake of bloodshed, punishment and to be like his DFF's. "Why can't we just shoot them?"
I wish Washington or Lincoln could come back and smack this motherfucker square in the face for what he is advocating, embracing and projecting throughout the world.
Embarrassed for our country, afraid for our allies and know full well that he is in bed up to his ass with Vlad and Friends. That should be the show. Fuck Fox and Friends. Let's do Vlad and Friends and cut through the façade of any faux loyalty to the U.S. and our Constitution.
Orange Boy and entire (prove me wrong) GOP are in to burn us to the ground. And MSM just whistles past the graveyard. Disgusting.

Observations: The claims of "Fake News, Witch Hunt, Fight Like Hell or You're not going to have a country anymore,

poisoning the blood, and now the enemy within" (many others but that summarizes the last 9 years somewhat adequately) have solidified a cult of 80 million??
We know it is total projection, gas lighting, just plain weird, and full on nuts. Orange Julius has a two guiding lights. 1) Stay out of prison and 2) He really wants to be a dictator. 3) He really wants to create a Russian style oligarchy system and a Hitler/Mussolini legal system. Everything else is secondary.
There will be an unprecedented assault on our system and we now know most "guardrails" have been driven through.
I feel somewhat confident that we will get through this with a Harris/Walz win, but the backlash, family schisms and enduring hatred will sadly endure.
I feel like we could be in U.S. circa 1859-60, or Germany in 1930's. I worry about Nancy and Adam, Rachel and all of MSNBC, but mostly I am concerned that we have been divided for the long term by a RAPIST, CONVICTED FELON, criminal MOB BOSS, compulsive LIAR and Sociopathic, demented demagogue akin to Hitler, Putin, Xi, Kim, Orban et al.
Talk me down here DU. Many will say I'm over-reacting; it will be fine, etc. I sincerely hope so but the violence and SCOTUS interjecting into this election has me on edge.

So Dubya calling the Constitution a goddam piece

Of paper set the tone. GOP created the monsters we are now facing.
Historical perspective. One could assert that Reagan started the fire; ironic that the President of the Screen Workers Guild union would end up being anti union. Reagan, Add Limbaugh and Faux News and here we are. Pitiful.

Could we pass legislation whereby convicted felons and insurrectionists

Are ineligible to run for public office?
Seems pretty sensible? And the irony that the party professing the “rule of law” in decades past, would be totally silent or in direct opposition to such a ruling at this pivotal point in our history. What do other countries do differently?
