I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but America was just fine with nominating, and then electing, someone like Trump in the first place. Obviously I don't really mean it was just "fine" with it, and I also know that it's hardly news. But it happened all the same.
But I say all that because I'm reminded of a scene from a movie called A Bronx Tale, in which Chazz Palminteri's character and his crew ask a rowdy and unwelcomed biker gang to leave their bar. They were asked nicely, and they refused to leave.
So now, Chazz locks the exit door and says they can't leave. They had their chance, and now they can't leave.
Similarly, America had a chance to escape Trump, and now it can't.
On the other hand, America had a chance to escape "moderates" like Obama and Pelosi and Biden, and now it can't.
Moderates, as we know, are just Republican-lite, looking at it objectively.
It is widely known that America's so-called left is still centrist at best or even right of center when compared to actual leftism globally.
The fact remains that now you just pick your poison. You are left with only the choice of what poison you pick.
So the real choice you have is, do you decide to meet your demise head-on at the hands of a wolf in dictatorship clothing, or do you prolong your suffering cowardly under a wolf in sheep's clothing?
I'd rather just roll the dice and see what goes down. Let's see how many of them we can take down before they take us down. Let's see how unscathed they come out of it, since they want to keep rattling the cage. As the great Tank in the first Matrix movie said, "Exciting times ahead."
