The wool was pulled over no one’s eyes. The hate machine is/was operated and maintained by one political party and has been for decades upon decades. You can go on and on about how now is the time to move on, and with some respects I agree with you. But some of the posts here belie an ignorance or hope to gloss over the governmental malpractice tolerated and pushed by Republican leaders.
I am not vilifying anyone, and folks should be at least recognized if they are willing to reckon with past choices that have proven to be “ill-advised” (i.e. voting for a conman, reality show host, foreign government compromised, rapist piece of shit that led an attack on the seat of government). Really it’s all we can do after the orange cunt brought out the absolute worst in some people. So yes please vote Dem even if it gives you spontaneous rectal bleeding, because the other choice is a vote for a treasonous cadre of ghouls and out of touch fuckmuppets.
