So far, reality is winning over defeatism, despite defeatisms high visibility at DU.
The state of the reality based community at DU is strong.

(18,924 posts)are really in charge right now, billionaires who are tired of sharing.
Robber-barons, oligarchs, pirates, whatever you want to call them, they are the enemy along with the many rubes they have convinced to fight against their own best interest.
At this point, they hold all the power because they own the media, the government, and have a lot of minions who are too stupid to see that they are being screwed. Perhaps they will figure it out, but I live among the MAGAts...they are awfully dim.

They may have power, but they dont have control .
If we elected courageous progressives, then the billionaires wont even have power, and they will be forced to share.
Its almost as if theres middle ground between everything is fucked and were all doomed, and the OPs stated position that everything is fine and theres nothing to worry about.

Democratic members of congress voted to honor a racist podcaster or looked the other way. A handful actually voted No.

Trump is like Vigo the Carpathian except worse. His amnesia rays have made the country even stupider than usual.
