A Dark Day

By Vickilane

 As the GOP and their hand-stacked 'originalist' courts seek to return us to the dark ages, I wonder how long this nation that once sought to be a shining city on a hill can endure. Big business rejoices as the EPA is stripped of power to fight climate change. The wall between church and state is under attack. Women are now essentially vessels in many states. LBGTQ rights are endangered . . .How long before those originalists decide to go back to the days of the founding fathers--when women and non-property owners couldn't vote, and non-whites could be held as property?

Far-fetched? Maybe. But that's what we thought when the plate-throwing, pussy-grabbing egotist ran for president. 

Nope, nothing to celebrate today.
