1/ 2020 is about nostalgia for the past versus a vision for the future. And whether some folks want to hear this or not, it's true: both Trump and Biden represent a kind of nostalgia...
2/ Obviously, Trump's version is FAR worse: a reactionary nostalgia for a white, Christian America that was awful for millions. Given the choice between that & virtually anything, choose virtually anything. However, Biden too is running on a kind of nostalgia...
3/ Nostalgia for the Obama years, which were better but never sufficient for millions who struggled through them...and worse, he seems to nostalgize the days of bipartisan camaraderie, ignoring that the GOP is a white evangelical identity cult now. They cannot be reasoned with..
4/ The reasonable ones are retiring or know that if they do anything bipartisan their base of cult members will vote them out...Dems must commit to pure power politics and crushing the right. Absolutely no compromise, not making nice until they purge themselves of that poison...
5/ This idea that we can play nice with Dracula and hope he isn't feeding tonight is a pipe dream...he is always feeding. They take no prisoners. And the rest of us should not...political scorched earth until they change or go the way of the Dodo Bird...
