But I’m starting to feel like it’s too late
It was probably too late in 2016, which is why so many of us felt such a crushing sense of impending doom
We didn’t know EXACTLY what was going to happen, but we saw the general shape of it

With Trump & McConnell, we saw how bad the Republicans really were
How much badness from the Republican side the mainstream media was willing to normalize
And how little Democrats were willing/able to do to counter that badness

Like, I still DO NOT understand why McConnell’s treasonous refusal to seat a SCOTUS judge wasn’t treated as the crisis in democracy it OBVIOUSLY was.
Even if you thought Hillary Clinton was going to win, McConnell was threatening not to seat a SINGLE judge she nominated. You think he was bluffing? He wasn’t.
Republicans have declared a second Civil War, basically, but it’s kind of a chaotic, disingenuous & passive-aggressive civil war, which may be why we’re not doing such a great job of fighting back?
I’m thinking, for example, of anybody who claimed to believe the religious-fanatic judges were sincerely hands-off Roe. Either they didn’t really believe this and were just playing along with the script, or they did believe it and boy were they dupes.
Either way, that puts the SCOTUS in the hands of a bunch of religious fanatics who are going to declare the US is a white Christian theocracy, but if you ask them “are you a white Christian nationalist?” They’ll say “lol, no”
It feels like a horror movie, where the guy with the chainsaw and the hockey mask keeps insisting “I’m not a killer, I just like to cut down trees & stuff & need to protect my face while I do that”
“Dude, your chainsaw is covered in BLOOD”
“Oh, that. Deer. It’s deer blood.”
“Dude, your chainsaw is covered in BLOOD”
“Oh, that. Deer. It’s deer blood.”
“Dude, you JUST cut off Cindy’s head, I watched you do it.”
“What? How dare you! She died of natural causes.”
“SHE DIED OF YOUR CHAINSAW TO HER NECK WE ALL SAW IT WHAT THE HELL”
The media: “Well, he SAYS it wasn’t murder, obviously there are two sides here.”
