I was in Kindergarten and knew Nixon was a POS (we seriously had debates about it on the bus on the way to school), in my teenage years knew Reagen was full of shit. I have had nonstop heartburn since my young adult years when Nwet and company were complete scumbags, knew W was going to be a disaster ...
But, in my life I have known SO many otherwise smart, decent and good people who lap up right wing bullshit with a ladle.
And they just keep getting worse, are completely hypocritical and inconsistent, just bumbling around from day to day screaming whatever might get people worked up.
In the late 90s they fought Clinton every step of the way when he was trying to deal with Islamic terrorists, and their way of trying to slag on him for his successfully interceding in the Ukrain was to scream about how we should not be doing nation building.
In great part because W didn't take it seriously, 9-11 happens, they gin themselves up to blame it on Clinton despite it happening on Ws watch and then bully the country into trying to nation build Iraq, which was an epic disaster.
But, the problem is, the country N E V E R holds them accountable ...
While some of the jackasses who were part of January 6 will get convicted and face justice, they will never own their end of it.
It is truly hopeless until this country BROADLY recognizes how fucking power hungry, corrupt and dangerous these fuckers are and punish them dearly, not just once cycle, not just two, but for decades at the ballots.
But, because this country just can't stop with indulging their childishness and fuckwittery, I hold out little hope this happens.
