(24,486 posts)But those of us who are Democrats and on the Left seem to have a history of being self-righteous about our beliefs, convinced it makes us better than those on the other side. But we have not been vigilant in protecting the rights of our nation being convinced that the maga crowd were just a bunch of ignorants in the Trump culture of personality. Meanwhile while we were convinced they were just a bunch of stolen election morons they have been planning the take-down of the nation we love.
Oh that we had not been complacent about our democracy's future and self confident that we would prevail.
How art the mighty fallen and our sin was one of national pride being convinced that the loss of our democracy could never happen here but only in those lesser nations of the world. But no matter what happens in the future, America will never be the same again.
