Now is the time to take care of your own. If I see a movement happen that I can support, cool. Otherwise, I’m just watching out for me and mine.
I think my political junkie days are over as well. I think in the future, there will be one party, with a conservative wing to it which will hitherto be the minority wing.
I think I'm there, too. It's been too long a road. I've been fighting these battles for going on 50 years now, from before the time I was able to even cast a vote (not a member of ACORN, you see). That this country would throw away all that I and those who have gone before me (parents, siblings) have worked to build in favor of a Marxist clown affirmative-action nobody is about the last nail in the coffin.
For the next generation, maybe longer, the national political alignment will look a lot like NY State. One dominant political party, a few token non-Party pols scattered here and there, and a permanent minority wing.
