Its frightening, but the lack of critical thought disease has been with us for some time (across all parties and backgrounds). mix in the political apparatus that attracts the worst character flaws and toss in some breaking down of society's norms (gender, race, etc.) and the output is one party is perfectly fine with taking full on advantage of the most disenfranchised - white, poor, lack opps, etc. So you get nonstop lies and backstabbing by the leadership and a following that either doesn't care or doesn't care to look. You know the problem with Dem party, so no need to rehash that again.
I saw an interview with a lady on the grounds of the assassination attempt, chick in the blue hat, maybe it was posted here somewhere, don't remember. She plenty of great points, lists her grievances, etc and wishes for an end to the violence (maybe the violent rhetoric too?) But nothing matters anymore re: logic and reason. Once the bottom falls out there is only a boogeyman, a savior, my grievances and the devils that come to fill the vacuum and play the part. There is always a willing devil sadly, its just people being people.
Its painful to watch the mechanics of each national election cycle. It just gets worse and worse. Fucking painful.
