Georgia has turned blue, and the "Squad" is growing. In the aftermath of the thwarted insurrection, the president is facing a second impeachment. White House officials are abandoning ship, and several Republicans have joined in calling for his impeachment. Trump has been banned permanently from twitter and facebook, and parler is offline. Trump's approval ratings with the public have long been poor. Those who fomented rebellion in Congress are losing their major donors and facing heavy censure. Those who participated in the assault of the Capitol are being hunted down and arrested, with many of them making excuses and pleading mercy.
I don't know, Classic Xer, it looks to me like it is your side that is losing.
It is a matter of whether the Democrats can come through pushing for the working man and minorities, or whether the Republican support of the racists and elites will come to give them an advantage again. With COVID hot, the economy a mess, and concerns about systematic racism high, they have a window to sustain a progressive period. Everything is close enough that it is too soon to celebrate, however.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
