We've been sleepwalking into Christian autocracy for years. The GOP has entrenched themselves at every level of the system for purposes of minority rule. They don't care about bad optics. They're not accountable to them. They propagandize their base while othering the rest of us.
Those of us who saw this clearly and said so have been marginalized and trashed as unpatriotic hysterics for years, as if discussing authoritarianism somehow makes it worse. That has to stop. No more eggshells, no more sugar coating.
The abusive relationship between Democrats and Republicans has to end. Democrats need to set boundaries, and be ready to walk when they're violated. Because we know they'll be violated. Bc abusers are predictable AF.
No more bipartisanship with fascists, who by definition seek one-party rule. No more seeking validation from destructive people. Appeasement never solves problems, it avoids them, which allows them to fester.
If one more person asks Susan Collins to explain her self-serving, inauthentic nonsense I will scream. She will never explain herself. There is no closure, just more shittiness.
