I never thought I'd say this - younger me would slap current me in the face for even thinking it - but I miss W and the neocons. Still irredeemably evil, but not "Snidely Whiplash tying a Mexican to the train tracks and posting it to the 'Gram" evil.
- SilverElfin 10mo agoI don’t think you’re alone. I have had the same feeling about W. I think the current lunge towards the far right feels far less “contained” and I’m not sure where it will eventually take this country. And then there are the damaged relationships with other countries. I couldn’t have imagined having a broken relationship with Canada. What is America’s place in the future world after this administration?

I occasionally think this for a moment, but then I remember that the present state of the Republican Party is a takeover by groups the GOP has actively courted, encouraged, and and whipped up since Nixon (or, perhaps more to the point, since the most recent time that group became angry with the Democratic Party because of Johnson’s support for the Civil Rights Act), helping its ideology spread and become acceptable, who had gotten tired of the way the party addressed them to get their support not being fully reflected in the way the party actually governed.
- krapp 10mo agoI take it back because I remember which administration the Abu Ghraib stuff happened under.
