First off, I share your despair. We are living in unprecedented and very scary times. Had a few comments on your post:
"... and we all give in and just let him get away with it"
He's been getting away with it for the last two months, unfortunately. No one is challenging him. As for the courts, he's simply ignoring them.
"It's going to be a very long 4 years until the next election."
I fear we aren't going to have a next election. That's far from an unknown though. This administration has been moving extremely fast and I don't know if they can keep that pace going until 2028. But if Trump doesn't die before then, I don't see him giving up power willingly. ICE is kidnapping people off the streets. Not having elections isn't so far-fetched.
"And I'm not sure I'm going to forgive the Democrats either."
I'm certainly not going to. They don't deserve forgiveness, they deserve scorn. They are a big part of why we are in this place. They are beholden to big corporate money just as the Republicans are and they don't want to lose their positions of power. We desperately need young progressives to lead the country, but old guard democrats like the Pelosis and Schumers sabotage every attempt at it. |
