General Discussion

The real question facing this country is what will it take for the American people to come to their senses?
We will now, almost certainly, watch as a landmark decision is reversed by the theocracy.
Voters Rights? Substantially eroded and the John Lewis Act is now all but a memory.
The Rittenhouse verdict? Also substantially guts any meaningful reform of gun rights.
Filibuster? Alive and unwell.
Prosecution of seditious prominent politicians? Forgettaboutit.

I say "the American people". But what if "the American people" actually want to embrace the theocratical, authoritarian direction that the GOP is steering this country towards? Are we still the majority? Seriously, I have to wonder when we continually see our voices lost to the rabble, when so many states are carved up to support GOP rule, and while many of what we here consider basic rights are trampled by flag-waving mobs led by the GOP. Openly being a racist and and an uninformed nitwit is apparently a "right" now.

So "coming to (our) senses" may really mean that we have to face the facts that we're losing our faint grip on rule of law and democracy in this country, and that we're virtually powerless to stop it.
