No matter whether Trump gets indicted or not, the Russians have won.
No we are living in a timeline where Russian trolls pushed the narrative that "both sides are the same", and a large portion of the middle has accepted that.
Its time to stop pretending there are two equal sides.
There is the intellectually and morally superior side, and then there are the right wingers.
The right hates that we Reddit-browsing and NPR-listening "coastal liberal elites" are the winners in a service-based multicultural globalized society because of our open worldview and high intelligence, and they blame all their failures on minorities and undocumented immigrants. They are seeing how America is increasingly becoming vibrantly diverse, and how non-white people will soon be the majority and losing their privilege terrifies them. Republicans have now become the party of old white people who refuse to give up their white privilege and who wants to make America white.
I've come to realize that much of American history is made up of periods where liberals drag right wingers kicking and screaming into the future.
"No, right wingers, you can't form your own country with blackjack and slaves."
"No, right wingers, you can't keep denying women the right to votes."
"No, right wingers, we're not going back to the way things were before the depression."
"No, right wingers, literacy tests aren't constitutional."
"No, right wingers, you can't deny homosexuals the right to marry."
What middle ground is there between the future Obama represented (diversity, tolerance, class, education, healthcare for all, multiculturalism) vs the horrible future Trump represents (white privilege, racism, sexism, bigotry, discrimination)? There is none, we cannot allow idiotic racists from pulling us back. The demographics have changed, old white men should not control everything, and our country must change as well to reflect the new progressive reality.
Now if you'll excuse me, my wife requires a edema, the bull doesn't like it when she's dirty.
