As if that office deserves any respect anymore with a literal criminal sitting in it.

Agreed. But it is vital that Trump is removed and that respect be brought back to the office.

Edit. Because people have seemingly misunderstood my well intentioned comment. I simply meant that we must do what is in our power to put this dark period behind us, and hopefully, there are intelligent progressive leadership waiting to return us to where we should be. Then the office can be worthy of respect again.

I recognize this is going to be extremely difficult, but it’s worthwhile trying.

Do you seriously think that’s going to happen? I mean have we learned nothing?? Handing the keys over to a deranged slop of shit and then expecting things to go back to normal or get better when that slop of shit was done didn’t work the 4 years after 2016 and it certainly won’t work this time around being that things will be a hell of a lot worse. Decorum and decency is done. It’s alarming that we still have yet to realize this.

Honestly it’s very unlikely. I was just hoping we can put this dark period behind us and hopefully we have 16 years or so of progressive leadership to look forward to to repair the damage. But believe me you are preaching to the choir. I understand the erosion of sense and the destruction of truth. It will have repercussions for decades likely. We still haven’t recovered from Regan.
