I posted these two things 4 years ago now on social media. First, a quote.
"America died on Nov. 8, 2016, not with a bang or a whimper, but at its own hand via electoral suicide. We the people chose a man who has shredded our values, our morals, our compassion, our tolerance, our decency, our sense of common purpose, our very identity — all the things that, however tenuously, made a nation out of a country."--Neal Gabler
And he was correct, of course. So very correct as we learned in these last 4 years. He was every horrible thing we all warned the nation of. And more.
And then there was this also from four years ago.
And it was all true. Hate, fear, racism, misogyny, homophobia, prejudice, self-interest---all those won four years ago now.
Fortunately, whoever wrote this was also correct on that last part. Americans, decent Americans, all got together and poured out to register to vote and then vote, too, to rid our nation of this man, this scourge on the nation.
We did it. We did, in fact, get together and correct this mistake!! Great job, America.
Now, #Throwthebumout
Meanwhile, these uglinesses are going on now, not a complete surprise, given how self-serving and greedy Republicans repeatedly show themselves to be, nation be damned.

Stay strong, America. Stay the course. Don't let them win.
