(10,236 posts)become reality. No one on DU would have thought that this nation would re-elect someone as vile as Trump to a second term - no one. There is a feeling of helplessness after not only losing an election to someone who is clearly a crook, a felon, and a con-man but now witnessing him name the people equally disgusting to his cabinet. And more than likely most be confirmed.
It is hard to accept a neighbor, or a family member that not only support this way of thinking but also views you as the enemy. It seems our system of government and our justice system is unable to deal with the MAGA crowd. They use religion, racism, to push their agenda and then when that fails use the justice system and in many cases their deep pockets to get their way - they know that most people will not be able to fight them economically.
My point being - don't be too harsh with us for venting our frustrations - at this point we need to heal and try and figure out how to beat a system of government that appear to be more of a oligarchy instead of a Democracy.
