Half this country are frickin' blind morons. It was out there plain as day. (I know I'm preaching to the choir.)
I've read this thread twice, trying to digest what I'm seeing here.
I completely understand feeling demoralized and even somewhat hopeless over what has unfolded this past year. I guess I'm not clear on exactly what is it you are trying to accomplish with these posts? Are you saying, everyone shut up and go home? Forget even trying to spread the word and take action? I think you're mistaken if you assume the rest of us here are wearing rose-colored glasses; I'm pretty confident most of us realize the seriousness of the situation. But barring the continuation of our efforts, what is it you propose? Curling up in the fetal position and saying "have it me, Marxists?" Sorry to be snarky, but really... what is your plan/suggestion?
