which received far fewer votes than the "minority" Democrats may soon install a justice on the SCOTUS who has the approval of 31% of the American people.
How long will the nation put up with this?

(5,275 posts)Not only did Drumpf, in actuality, lose by at least 3 million votes, Congress is rigged because of Gerrymandering. Add in stunning right wing hypocrisy....refusing to even budge on Obamas Supreme Court Pick for a year and now trying to rush in a 2nd Supreme that will change our nation profoundly. Plus this creep accidental and minority joke of a President is appointing judges as fast as possible.
It is in essence a hostile takeover by a minority party.
It looks like we are up against it for decades.

Democrats must raise hell about gerrymandering and voter suppression. And, as I wrote in another thread:
It's time to talk openly and honestly about how the GOP fosters and exploits racism, sexism and gullibility. It's time to demand media literacy be taught in every school, and to explain why that's obviously necessary (see below).
We're not dealing with people who have a different interpretation of facts, or merely a different worldview. We're dealing with people who deny facts. We're dealing with people who create and reside within their own twisted fantasy lands. We're dealing with some really awful people, and some people who are completely out of their minds. We're dealing with corruption and criminality on an epic scale.
Wake up, fence-sitters and non-voters. We have an epidemic on our hands.
That needs to be the message. We can't let the cra-cra become the norm.
