The culture warriors, champions of the new jim crow, and the plutocrats have won. I've never been more ashamed to be an American.
The far right has seized control for good, and we have no chance of ever defeating them.
These are the end times, so to speak. There's no point to voting in any of these elections anymore. The bad guys will never be punished, and the good guys will always lose.
I have no hope for America anymore.
Oh please. The Republicans were doing that same "it's all over for us..." spiel in 2012, and the Democrats in 2010, and the Republicans in 2008...
As long as the GOP is able to pull this off, the American left will never be triumphant.
As long as these people can be elected at least some of the time, they will continue to cut back on civil liberties, economic equality, and voting rights. Until a genuine opposition can be formed, they cannot be stopped, cannot be convinced otherwise, and cannot be exposed.
