The right-wing is on the way out. Demographics are against them, and it consists of older people. Red states are turning purple and purple states are turning blue.

Deposing Trump provides a chance for the republic to return to democracy and normal behavior. Whether this also provides a path for progress to return after 40 years of regression and stalemate will be up to the people and their leaders. But that is what I am still predicting will happen. A nation cannot remain in neutral or reverse forever and still prosper. The question is why you ignore this problem and why you want the stalemate to continue indefinitely.

The pandemic and the black lives matter movement provides an opening for progress, and a return to government that can act and be empowered and controlled by an active citizenry, and it will need to encompass many other issues too if our republic is to get off the dime and move again. We on the left can form alliances and address these concerns and ideals and move forward again, and then there won't be such an impulse among some to, as you see it, just tear down the country. What needs to be torn down are the barriers to progress which the right-wing has put up over the last 40 years of Reaganomics. That many whites are marching with blacks now shows the potential for these alliances.

Who made you God? Do you really have the power to refute me or Micky ? Yes. The demographic's may seem to favor the Left at the moment democratically speaking. I don't think you are aware of how many minorities have advanced beyond race and are currently American believers themselves. Hint: Democracy isn't much of a factor during times of Civil War and as far as war goes, the American right has a significant advantage over the Left. You must be aware that the Left controls larger cities that were mainly middle class at one time but no longer today.

The rules of logic have been available for over 2000 years. They have not changed. Facts are there to be accepted or rejected. People are free reject the laws of logic and objective fact  if they wish to choose, but they are not free to avoid the consequences of their rejection of either or both. 

I see the gross misconduct of Donald Trump, and it all resembles dictatorial practice. The water cannons have yet to be used, but it looked much the same in Poland in the 1980's as it did in Kukluxistan in the early 1960's.

All that I ask is that the GOP go back to being humane and sane. We need that!

That is a tall order. They would have to go back as they were before about July 1964.

Their last sanity was for many of them to vote for the civil rights bill. Their insanity began with Goldwater's nomination. I do admit some sane acts did manage to get through from Nixon, but on balance, he and his party had gone over the edge at that point.
