We have to face a sobering fact: Our country is permanently broken (at least in our lifetime) [View all]

Even after Trump is gone, there is no going back to normal.

I see no way forward, because the current fascists will never be held to account.

Without accountability, they will continue to destroy the country from the inside.

Trump has permanently stacked the justice system with "his" judges, who will carry on his lawlessness long after he's in the dirt.

He's weaponized all forms of national law enforcement.

We might be able to hold the line, but no progress will be made for many decades to come.

I hope I'm proved wrong, but I just don't see it.
