(169 posts)Ya'know, I think a lot of the pissing and moaning we have heard recently is just people letting off steam about the unfairness of the current situation. We have an obviously partisan Supreme Court, gerrymandered state legislatures, and a media that cares nothing for the truth.
In the sane people's defense, we all deserve a bit of time to bemoan our fate, especially when it seems that everything is stacked against us.
But seriously, have we succumbed to conspiracy tales or other fantasies? Have we started recommending violence?
No, the majority of us have just been overwhelmed by the obvious bias of our social and government institutions. We'll catch our collective breath, pick up the pieces of the shattered illusions we held to be truths, and soldier on.
So everyone, take a deep breath, square you shoulders, and know that you have lived to fight another day.
Take a break when you need to and complain about the unfairness about it all, but when it comes down to the wire, we all know we'll get back to the important work of saving our democracy, and our way of life.
