No Words

Instead of trying to say anything coherent about the results of our election, I am going to quote from Eugene Robinson's column from the Washington Post on Tuesday, Nov 2, 2018. He sums up my own feelings better than I can possibly do.

Don't tell me that 'both sides' need to do better
'Both sides' are not responsible for the horrific political terrorism we have seen this past week. Only the right is to blame--starting with President Donald Trump and his complicit enablers in the Republican Party. Am I not supposed to blame Trump? Well, he blames me. this is what he had to say this morning on Twitter.


'There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate and even fraudulent reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People must stop the open & obvious hostility &report the news accurately & fairly...Fake News Must End!'


From the first day of this presidential campaign, Trump has deliberately whipped up anti-immigrant fervor and stoked racial animus [Robinson is a Black columnist] The only thing he knows how to do is divert, deflect, attack and drive the wedge deeper. By obliterating the normal boundaries of political speech, he has opened the space for unapologetic advocates of white supremacy, anti-semitism, mysogyny and other biases to spew their venom.


Don't tell me 'both sides' need to do better. Republicans who remain silent deserve to be swept out of office..

Some things never change...
