Sorry, I didn't express myself very well - I'm afraid. It's hard to sometimes.
Jay Kuo on FB says it better than I?
"The defeatist talk does the work of the fascists for them. This reaction is understandable and laden with defeatism and cynicism. It literally does the work of the fascists for them, while belittling the work of those fighting hard for our democracy.
If firefighters were fighting a fire in your neighborhood with all their force, would you cluck your tongue and tell everyone around you, "it's all going to burn down anyway?"
Because that is what you sound like when you say our democracy is over when our battle has barely begun...
So if you're coming here to spout doom and gloom, please knock it off, or I'm going to start charging a $5 donation to the ACLU each time you do it."
I think it's kind akin to telling an ill patient they will die, and there's no hope - when nothing could be further from the truth? I'm not saying be positive, but knock it off with the doom and gloom.
