I seriously think we have gone over the edge into a dark age. Ive said it before, when you have half of the US voting for a racist fascist 3 times, with this world -wide turn against democracy, it is bigger than just the US. We now have the 3 biggest nuke powers with authoritarians at the lead. I just do not see this ending well.When I first read that post (the one about being thanked for his ancestors fighting against slavery),back on the first page, I thought it was sarcasm.
Imagine my horror/surprise when I discovered he was actually being serious. This nation has a looooooonnnnng way to go still.
We spent dearly to end fascism in Europe and its derivative in Japan, we as a society have forgotten those lessons, and now the weapons are much more lethal with greater collateral effects. I'm not optimistic.
