People come to the realization of these things at different times for various reasons, one of them being they didn’t want to believe it yes.
you were obviously among the earliest of them. Maybe I’m not far behind. As you say it doesn’t matter because it is too late and there are way too many people who are totally clueless still. We are all in trouble.
I understand that. I truly do. But stubbornness and self delusion...the desire for the spirit of Reagan to still be there delayed that or stopped it outright in many people. The direct result is the GOP grew leftward and grew in power because those people willfully refused to accept reality.
I understand they are ashamed of it now. They don’t want to admit it. But its a 12 step thing. One has to admit they have a problem before anything else. If not to all of us they stepped on with the shilling, then to themselves.
