One political party in the USA, you know, the MAGA Republicans, are basically a front for Domestic Terrorism. It's so true, it's almost not worth writing, but I feel compelled to write it down.
One party is about political violence, election and climate-change denialism, anti-science and anti-vaccine foolishness, oh yeah, and deep in the bone ugly, racism, anti-semitism, homophobia, misogynist, anti-immigrant, conspiracy-minded idiocy and madness.
It's not a good look. Bad for Democracy. The powers that be in the GOP just look away, pretend not see their own bankrupt nihilism. And how many millions of our fellow citizens just play along? They cling to their bibles and their guns, wishing for some kind of crazy-ass apocalyptic conflagration in which they can spill blood and hatred into the streets of good, old USA.
What's a right-minded citizen to do? Try to keep a level head, don't hit the panic button, refuse to be swamped under by the idiocy, bad blood and toxic noise. Vote for Democrats. Pretty sure most of my fellow Americans have not gone down the rabbit hole of hate. Pretty sure we out-number the mad MAGA-GOP nihilists. But you know, every election is always a total crap-shoot. It's a tricky, complicated, amazing and sometimes scary country. Here's hoping for a brighter, smarter, more rational and humble tomorrow.
