"Well boy, we are pilgrims in an unholy land"

I remember this quote from Indiana Jones and the Lost Crusade. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are playing father and son and are undercover in Nazi Germany. Connery says this while watching a torchlight parade.

These days, I think about this quote a lot. The American government is deeply dark, frightening and full of dread conviction. As people say, the cruelty IS a feature and not a bug. So until reformation comes, I will walk as a pilgrim through this unholy land.

They sold their souls to Trump enabling a proto-Nazi to attain such power.

For years, Republicans have been destroying public education. Schools no longer teach geography, civics or comprehensive social studies. The result has been an ill-informed and often ignorant voting public. Given Trump's criminality and malfeasance, there is no logical reason that he should have been re-elected. But stupid Americans overwhelmingly elected him over the Black Woman because the price of eggs was too high.

The American experiment in Democracy has ended. Republicans are enthralled to Trump while Democrats have been mostly side-lined by MAGA. Meanwhile, Trump's goals parallel those of other totalitarians. In short, we're fucked.
