I seem to recall someone (@jeanne-mayell) predicting that within a decade DC would become a shell of it’s former self?
@theungamer, I seem to recall a prediction like that as well. Have to do some searching for it.
I just read the new predictions. So disheartened to see all the ones about Twitler still being relevant by the end of next year. ?
Are we never going to be rid of that gigantic flaming fascist asshole?
@polarberry I am with you! Everyday I just say I wish he would just go away so we can live in some semblance of peace. I am so tired of feeling such hatred towards him and his cronies. Then I end up feeling bad that I feel so much hatred toward them because it is not a good feeling. But I cannot help being angry and feeling hatred towards the lying orange blob and his ilk because they are so blatant in their evilness, obstructionism, lying, cheating, hatred to the less fortunate, racism and political antics.
@lenor @polarberry I think of TFG and cronies as little as possible. Doing anything else just drains my energy and probably sends it to them.

I wrote that. I had put it in a summary of long-term predictions on the Prediction Page, where I have over the years posted my long-term predictions. It was back around 2012 that I had visions of bands of marauding Robin Hoods in the future, with bows and arrows, taking the law into their own hands. At the time I thought these were good guys, but now I wonder if I had been seeing the insurrectionists who think they are saving America from the Establishment. I also saw barricades around the Capitol Building. These visions were in the early to mid teens (2012 - 2015) and I thought they were going to happen in the mid to later 2020's. But I think they already happened.
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two or more are called a law firm; and that three or more become a Congress!"
*This is a line spoken by the character of John Adams in the Broadway musical "1776". Regrettably, there's no evidence the man himself actually said this, but it's fun anyway ;-)
I try not to. It would help if the media would stop running stories about every stupid utterance he makes and stop plastering pictures of his orange roosterhead everywhere.
They feed him, and his truly pathetic need for relevance, just like they gave him a voice in 2016.
I'm right there with you, except I don't feel bad about how I feel about them anymore.
The modern-day GOP is the biggest threat this country has ever faced, imo. They don't believe in democracy, if they ever did. All they care about is power and profit, and they have made it abundantly clear there is nothing they won't do to get it.
Dems and progressives need to stay angry, and stop bringing knives to gun fights.

When I think of the GOP in its present state, I see the Third Reich and wonder how many people at the time felt they had to be nice to them until the worst happened. It's an ugly dark fascist cult.
