Now that this genie is out of the bottle, I fear this is our foreseeable future...
Now that the GOP has made it clear that ANYTHING is permissible in defense of party power... Including conspiring with enemies of our nation... American politics will cease to be a competition between ideas and ideals- it will simply become a contest determined by which side is most ruthless, most unethical, most cruel... A state of affairs most of us thought was in the distant past.
In the end there will be no victors, just a dead democracy and a dying world.
