1/ Everything that’s happening was inevitable given the basic heartlessness now entrenched within our economic and political system. While that heartlessness reaches an apex in Trump, it has been there for a long time. Republicans promulgated it and Democrats too often went along

2/ Cornell West was right when he said the system has proven “incapable of reforming itself.” We know at this point what to expect from Trump, but Congressional leaders should be listening up and taking heed.

3/ It’s reasonable to expect nothing but a crackdown law-and-order mentality from McConnell, but @SpeakerPelosi and @JoeBiden could at this moment break free of their neo-liberal container, reclaim the soul of the Democratic Party, and actually make a difference. I hope they do.

4/ Trump is already having military units prepared to deploy to Minneapolis. If democratic party leadership doesn’t come up with a plan for bold fundamental changes it will be a huge strategic mistake. The era of politics as usual is over; need for enlightened leadership now here

Republicans and Democrats are owned by the same corporate aristocracy and oligarchy who have been looting the people for decades. Now, they want complete obliteration of false pretenses of democracy and civil liberties. No, it is not Trump, the guy who just showed up 4 years ago.

“Marianne Williamson is right.. “We will be followers no more.” Desperation and despair are on the rise due to the heartlessness our government. The American People have had enough. There’s no going back to business as usual.

As a life long registered democratic, the reality I’m waking up to is they have ALSO done more than go along. BOTH SIDES are responsible for our broken planet/society. One is no more a saint than the other. We have to RISE ABOVE TEAMS & POINTING FINGERS!!!

No. Far from inevitable. There's no excuse for such behavior. We're not in the stone age.

The U.S. ruling elite, the most craven, corrupt, and despotic in history, is incapable of doing the right thing. "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." An apt observation by Frederick Douglass.
