(#4904) Snap to! Everything is changing!

      I am sorry but I am just infuriated with so many people and things right now. Especially with people who are not paying attention to what is happening. We are in a slow motion train wreck losing our democracy. Yet too many are just going about their lives in some kind of clueless trance. They must seem to think that if they just ignore the uncomfortable truth it will either go away or somehow resolve itself. Or even better be solved by others. Well none of that will happen. What we all need to do is to stop with our ignoring and pay attention to what the facts are that is causing our democracy to crumble.
     Many of us are already far into the defense of our democracy and we know who is causing it. The republican party has become the insurrection party and no one can dispute that. The republican party has been for some many decades slowing moving away from democratic principles toward authoritarian ones. That can be exemplified by them choosing trump 2016. As well the senate leader of the republicans, moscow mitch, has been underhanded and devious in his strategy to stop needed legislation for our changing society while making sure along with all his republican colleagues that rights and qualities of life are disenfranchised from the working middle poor class.
     Our planet is warming from greenhouse gases but republicans do not want to stop the fossil fuel catalyst. I get that we need fossil fuel for a bit as we transition to green energy sources but that isn't what republicans are doing. They are tanking green energy initiatives so that fossil fuel can go on being our major source of energy. It is what they want because they know that before they die they will have had a marvelous life compared to those who will have to follow their mismanagement. That is what the selfish and greedy do. They take all they can while leaving a trail of misery in their wake. They don't care about future generations they only want to have now all they can get. That is today's republican party!
