I cannot believe I would see in my lifetime the systematic destruction of America, but it's happening right before our eyes.
To the benefit of Russia and China. They are getting their wet dream curtesy of Donald J. Trump.

(12,742 posts)I saw the 60s and the VRA and civil rights act, Roe, affirmative action, etc. Now its all being UNDONE.
Absolutely disgusting.

(7,626 posts)So I saw and remembered a lot of what happened in the 60's, like an older brother doing whatever he could to avoid the draft.
Fortunately, I was around to see and experience the Apollo missions which I followed like my life depended on it. Memories I will hold forever.
I do remember the 68 convention and the Newark riots. It was an unsettling time, but on the exit from those times, a better society emerged. Nixon, as corrupt as he was, started good things like the EPA, which has now been neutered by the current Nazi regime.
The Reich Wing has been seething ever since. You know, "cuz FREEDUM!!!"
Someone posted on line it took 50 years to eliminate Roe and the EPA and 60 years to eliminate the VRA. But this fascist regime has succeeded in accomplishing the destruction of those policies they have hated for decades in the matter of a couple of years.
What's next, Social Security???
Just like you, and MILLIONS of others, I'm DISGUSTED.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
