re: #146 PrairieQueen

I haven’t posted here in years and had to sign up with a new username, but anyway… I guess I’m tired of shaking my head in silence at all the bullshit, so I’ve returned to LGF so I don’t have to feel alone when I do it. (Now I can shake my head in unison.)

That said, my prediction is everyone enables Trump re: impeachment and everything else, he gloats about vindication, doubles down punishing the truth-tellers, keeps dragging the country closer to Germany c.1939, and the Left still doesn’t have anyone strong enough to win a three legged horse race, let alone a presidential one. The ideals are there, but not the power or charisma it will take to beat Trump in a country influenced by Fox News.

Basically, we’re fucked, I’m feeling it, and I’ve returned. Let the wild rumpus start…

I honestly feel like there’s no way one person alone could shoulder that burden. I’m not sure Obama, skillful politician and orator as he is, could survive the current environment, with or without his past leadership and successes. The problem isn’t just Fox News, it’s that the vast majority of the non-Fox news apparatus seems to take cues from Fox and such, offering the GOP infinite credulity and Dems infinite contempt, and the only time Dems ever get positive coverage is when they’re shitkicking other Dems. And “new media” only has so much reach compared to “old media” and…well…look at Facebook’s increasing fealty to the Kochs and GOP operatives.

We’re being expected to win a 100 yd dash when the GOP is allowed to start 50 yds. ahead, and we’re forced to wear bowling shoes ‘for fairness’.
