How Did We Get Here?

How Did We Get Here?
Aside from Rush Limbaugh and the rise of FOX, the following 3 individuals will be remembered as the men who broke American Democracy:

1. Mitch McConnell

A. He denied President Obama his constitutional right to put Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court because with 7 months to go, it was too close to the 2016 election, yet rammed through Amy Coney Barrett just 6 weeks before the 2020 election.

B. Twice he could have in instructed the GOP majority to convict Trump at his impeachment trials, but let him off the hook.

2. John Roberts

A. His lead on the Citizens United ruling in 2010 sold our democracy to the uber rich.

B. His giving Trump immunity from prosecution for short term political gain gave a rebirth to the monster the Republicans created.

3. Merrick Garland

A. For 2 years he did nothing in terms of prosecuting Trump, yet was forced to by the January 6th Committee.

B. When he could have released documents and reports before the election that showed what Trump did, he remained an institutionalist for a man that believes he alone is bigger than the Constitution.

God Help Us!

More accurately:

1.  We didn't get our way!

2.    We didn't get our way!!

3.    We didn't get our way!!!

That depends on how we define what 'here' means.

'Here' might properly be defined as dems current 21 percent approval rating.

How you got 'here'...y'all did that to yourselves, by engaging in obvious and blatant racism through DEI, by attacking women in ways such as allowing men pretending to be women in their school bathrooms showers and prisons where legit women do NOT want them, by engaging in obvious blatant lawfare, by using government and big tech and a pandemic to punish and silence political opposition,  and by putting American citizens last while flooding America with invaders for 4 years.

There is more, but those are the 'highlights'.

Have you any other stupid questions?

There is a lot of "We didn't get our way!" in that post, but also "It's never our fault!" is favorite theme amongst democrats.

     How did we get here? I'll take a stab:

     We got the idea that we can borrow infinitely, spend even more infinitely, that the government is the employer of last resort, and every single nickel the government commits is absolutely crucial to the survival of the species. We got the idea that other countries can **** us sideways on trade, send us every misfit and criminal that they don't want, and we are to feed, clothe, and house them forever. To support this and other nefarious political goals, we printed an insane amount of money and injected it into the world economy without concern for inflation.

     So an actual adult decided to quit stealing from the next 10 generations by putting things back in order, and all the pigs at the trough are squealing because the slop is slowing down. Sorry, 65-year-old DUmmy ****head morons, but we don't owe you shit and the stock market was a bubble that needed to be popped anyway. **** off and die while adults fix your shit.

I missed where that is in the Constitution.

You need the special democrat decoder ring to find it, you would be amazed at all the things you never knew were in there
