The choice isn’t just between candidates. It’s between a society where facts and laws matter and human beings have basic dignity or a purposefully decaying country where fascists keep us imprisoned in conspiracy theories and petty, murderous feuds while plundering everything.

This moment with Trump, these past few years, have been disastrously bad with countless incompetencies and cruelties and unnecessary tragedies.

But it’s only going to get worse if we don’t reject this madness and get to the hard and necessary work beyond Trump.

I keep trying to warn people. Reality is malleable and for Trumpism to continue, whether by victory or plunder, is to dedicate this country to a murderous and self-ruinous alternate reality.

Yes, Trump and his base peddle obvious lies. But this election is about making them real

Make no mistake. This election is the beginning of a bigger fight. Defeating Trump doesn’t fix the problems he embodies. But it’s a choice between fighting the infection and embracing it in totality and allowing it to wash over us.

A win, legitimate or otherwise, is a surrender.

1. I've been saying for 4 years

This is the animus that allowed Germans to both execute and ignore the deaths of millions; the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda. The war in Kosovo and the Balkans. All within only a generation or two!

You think these people wouldn't murder - genocide - if they could?

Well they have and ARE!

3. "Perhaps the end of the beginning"

4. And the FBI needs to arrest every police officer that is involved in any white supremacy

group of any kind.

[not_the_one]

5. There HAS to be a purge of all police departments of anyone with any history

of racism, white supremacy, nazism, bullying (including domestic abuse).

The police need to know that THEY are not making the rules, and they CAN NOT hide behind a blue wall of prejudice and bigotry.

Then we go on to the military.

It has to be rooted out at all levels of EVERY institution. We should be ashamed to have racists, bullies, nazis and white supremacist fighting and defending the foundations of our democracy.

We can NEVER adhere to the jingo-isms of:

My country, right or wrong. NO, wrong is NEVER right.
Better red than democrat. If so, you are a COMMUNIST.
Love it or leave it. NO, you love it and FIX it.

[BComplex]

6. YES!!!

7. I don't understand the last line?

"A win, legimitate or otherwise, is a surrender."

Is this talking about a drumpf win? Guess so...
