The United States has taken a big hit to its progress and reputation at home and around the world. It will take time to recover.
However, the way we have emboldened the conservatives, Republicans, White Supremacists and the fringe elements in the South will take a very long time to subside. It will take 50 to 80 years more. A lot of damage is done and we have allowed it to happen right in front of our eyes in the name of being fair and nice.
If Pelosi and Schumer cannot handle this, they should get the fuck out and let the young firebrand turks lead the Democrats. Throw Pelosi, Schumer, Bernie, Hoyer and all old useless wood out now.
And Feinstein, and Leahy, and Durbin, etc. plus a bunch of old white Republicans, starting with McConnell and Graham.
