As much as Democratic leaders and  half  of Americans hate Trump what they really fear and panic over is Bernie Sanders. When he was making a real push to lead the Democrats big money came in to squash that.And that's on the Democratic Party. They set the stage for Trump. Lifetimes of fear mongering of socialist ideas (that the rest if the world has adopted as standard practice and human decency ) have brainwashed Americans. Alot of it is not accidental.

I completey agree. with all of your post.

and Americans are thoroughly brainwashed.  starts very young, and continues non stop thereafter.

Watched Fahrenheit  11/9 last night as I felt up to diving into that for some reason. Going in I thought it would be a slam on Trump, but I came away with a much better understanding of the role the Dems played in creating the cesspool.  From the dirty politics behind the scenes, "compromising", screwing Sanders for Clinton, unaccepting of AOC and her like, creating apathy among voters, and being just as betrothed to big $$$, if not more.

Have a listen to Chris Hedges ( or read ) as a suggestion on that subject.

he is bleak. 

here is an interesting article about clintonism, and the damage they still do. about a clinton supported democrat, holding up change.

", It would be one thing if Gottheimer were a rogue, independent political outsider, but he’s a nightmare of the Democratic Party’s own making, a creation of the Clinton White House from his days as a college undergraduate. Gottheimer joined up ahead of the 1996 re-election campaign on the rapid-response team, the same year that Clinton’s signature welfare reform package was signed into law, setting in motion a process that increased poverty, lowered income for single mothers, ballooned the number of people in homeless shelters, and empowered states to eliminate welfare entirely. After Clinton rode that welfare reform, signed just three months before Election Day, into a second term, Gottheimer went to work as the president’s youngest speechwriter, serving in the White House alongside Terry Edmonds and Michael Waldman until Clinton termed out in 2000.

When Gottheimer announced his intention to return to the public sector with a congressional run in 2015, he was promoted and funded by the Clintons personally. He made regular trips to Bill’s hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, despite running in New Jersey’s Fifth District, more than 1,000 miles away. At one point, Bill and Chelsea Clinton appeared at a Manhattan fundraiser for Gottheimer, which featured Chelsea introducing him as “something of a family member."

when I see Biden passivity, I think of how clinton twisted arms to get regressive laws through congress. nafta, welfare, the act that

deregulated wall street, the deregulation of media, three strikes law.... all clinton. hes still around.

him and rahm emanuel. also still around.

Florida Republicans now looking at rescinding measles & mumps vaccine requirements, while continuing to spread disinformation that the Covid vaccine isn't "proven to work" https://floridapolitics.com/archives/458805-diaz-review-vaccine-mandates/

It will be interesting to see who get served a subpoena as soon as this weekend and who tells the 1/6 committee  to shove it

I wonder if having a friendly White House and Justice Department could be of help here?  The separation of powers is a pretty big deal so based on my super naive understanding of such things, the executive branch can't help enforce a congressional subpoena, but it would be cool to see Merrick Garland throw Steve Bannon in the pokey.

meanwhile, in Arizona:

 

Texas governor Abbott, in response to Trump's direction, has ordered yet another forensic audit of several counties where the vote went against Trump. The whole point is not to win any of these reviews, but to sow distrust in the electoral system in order to allow the GOP to overturn it when they are ready.

Chaotic Arizona Recount Finds Biden, Uh, Actually Did Beat Trump
y
A lengthy, chaotic review of Maricopa County, Arizona’s 2020 vote by an obscure Florida tech company with no elections experience has concluded that President Joe Biden did win, after all. In fact, according to drafts of the final report obtained by The Arizona Republic on Thursday night, Cyber Ninjas’ “audit” found that former President Donald Trump received 45,469 fewer votes than Biden. Maricopa County’s count had Trump losing by 45,109 votes. County Board Chairman Jack Sellers told the Republic the draft report’s conclusions show “the tabulation equipment counted the ballots as they were designed to do, and the results reflect the will of the voters... That should be the end of the story. Everything else is just noise.”
