Democrats—and Americans more generally—must finally realize that Trump’s MAGA GOP is no longer interested in policy or politics but solely wants to seize absolute political and economic power.

      If the the Confederate battle flag bumper stickers, the battle “re-enactments” that change the outcomes of said battles to favor the losers, and multigenerational utterance of “the south will rise again” wasn’t clear enough…

      This is what we get for having given the Confederate traitors military burials disgustingly next to the US soldiers they killed and survivor benefits for their murderous treachery in the name of owning humans as slaves.

      Yeah old news at this point but I guess because a lot of people refused to see it, is the reason for the article.

    Democrats aren’t realizing it though. They are still playing games with our Democracy so they can try to force their own conservative candidates into power. Biden would rather support a child murderer than ensure he’s there to prevent Trump from getting into office.

    With that kind of political strategy, where Dems are not signaling any genuine urgency, it’s hard to see a scenario where the far-right doesn’t take over, regardless of whether Biden squeezes out a win this time. Neoliberals can only play chicken with our democracy for so long before disaster strikes, you’d think they’d have learned that in 2016.
