Man…. I greatly appreciate all the postings here about the GOP’s continued refusal to accept the November election as well as the GOP’s continued refusal to accept the Constitution and their continued sedition.

I have been following with great interest, but have generally stayed quiet since about there is not much I feel I can contribute.

I am reminded about how my father, who lived through it, described the Great Depression and how close American Society was to collapse.

The folks who lived through the Great Depression and fought in World War 2 defined the United States (and to a great extent the world) for next 50 years. It seems that we are on the cusp of another such redefinition. Either the rebirth or end of the great experiment of the United States Democracy.

One of the things that I remember about the history of the Civil War was the timing of it’s start. The slavers could read the writing on the wall and could see that, as state after state ended slavery, they were demographically losing their battle for slavery. One of the arguments for starting the Civil War in 1860 was that their position was only going to continue to get worse.

I do wonder if the GOP’s allied racists, white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, and all the other loonytunes are starting to see the writing on the wall and are reacting the same way.

Thank you lizards for all your postings. I greatly appreciate them.
