No, I am not going to make a long crybaby diary.
Tonight, as I was wading through the FOURTH defense of Dick Durbin, whose weakness and gutlessness made me want to vomit, and dealing with the usual "1" ratings I always get when I point out that people expect too little of the Democratic NOTE THE QUOTES "leadership" and consequently get even less, I had a true epiphany, comparable to Saul's on the road to Damascus.
The Democrats are exactly where they deserve to be, out of power in all three branches of government, struggling to get their message across in the media, outgunned, outclassed, outstrategized.
You people are defending men, and a few women, who have destroyed the economy and delivered you into the hands of Christofascist fanatics who intend to destroy you.
From what I have seen in my few months on dKos, most of you don't GET THAT. You think slinging troll ratings at people who try to point out that you're walking the plank is an adequate response.
It is not.
But ya'll are going to have to find that out the hard way. The issue isn't whether Bush is Hitler or Gitmo a Nazi tactic. The issue is that what let Hitler and the Nazis gain absolute control of Germany was the weakness of the Weimar Republic. When the history of this period in America is written, the main question will be, where was the opposition, and how could they be so naive, so blind, so utterly unprepared?
I hope those future historians have access to the diaries on Durbin. The answers are all there.
I wish you all luck when you are face to face, not with pixels that try to break through your delusions in order to save your asses, but with a vicious and relentless enemy who believes, because you have given them reason to, that defeating you will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
So long, fish.
