(58,785 posts)here, that "they" were always part of us, I just thought it wouldn't because too many of us valued what we'd always had to throw it away.
I was wrong.
All it took for good people to do nothing (voting for candidates who couldn't win included) was to repeat the biggest Big Lie of all until millions believed it -- that Democrats were really just the same as Republicans. Destroy belief that there is something good to stand with and what to protect with them. That Big Lie serves and has been promoted by EVERY anti-Democratic faction through the entire lifetimes of everyone eligible to vote in 2016.
And here we are. Too many good people did nothing. And too many others were tricked into abetting.
On to our next chance. Some have learned from what's happening. Some will. Some can't.
