Writing the technological history of how America really got to space, while trying to keep my sanity in this fascist takeover of what used to be called the United States of America. Officially a Twitter refugee.

3 of the 8 Democrats who crossed the aisle get major funding from airlines and/or big resorts, i.e., tourism that would be fucked by the airline shutdowns.

I'm really starting to believe there's no way Trump's reign of terror, greed, and corruption ends without revolution or a combo of nature and luck.
Diplomacy and legal options to fight this fascist regime are growing weaker with each passing day.

For over a month, the Republican Party has brazenly and openly put the entire shutdown on Democrats.
From social media posts to full website banners and takeovers.
“It’s them, not us.”
Now it will fully be “Thanks to these Democrats who FINALLY had the sense to agree with us, we are open again.”

The Democrats are the only party that surrenders when they have the advantage.
Imagine Ulysses Grant after Vicksburg: “Well, they’re not giving in, guys. Let's just give them what they want and go home."
Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
That's the real Senate vote headline.

In my dictionary, the phrases "post-liberal" and
"no enemies to the right" and "neo-reactionary" and "alt-right" are merely euphemisms for "fascist" and "authoritarian."

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
