More that "who shot Kennedy" I want to know what/who/how/why so many senators and reps have abdicated their responsibilities.

There must be a reason underlying ALL of them behaving as if they have no agency.

That's my conspiracy theory, fwiw.

If you got treated like shit (doubtful, but ok) I guarantee it wasn't because you helped.

Think about it then.

Why, why, why? Why would folks give you shit?

You know the answer, truly you do.

Thanks for any help you have provided.

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling").

They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in

Uncle Jim walked up to her, and with all the love and resilience that only he could muster, said, “what, do you want to crawl in the grave with her?”

I will never forget that. Tragedy struck this man countless times and yet, he kept going. Kept hoping.

Because really, what else is there?

Wilson: "The House will have seen the reports that American planes have today bombed fuel storage areas at the North Vietnamese capital of Hanoi and its main port of Haiphong. At 1.30 p.m. to-day a statement was issued from No. 10 Downing Street about this and I thought that the House would wish to know its terms. It said: Her Majesty's Government have noted with regret that United States aircraft have attacked North Vietnamese targets touching on the populated areas of Hanoi and Haiphong. It is difficult for the British Government, which is not involved in the fighting in Vietnam, to assess the importance of any particular action which the United States Government regards as militarily necessary in this conflict. Nevertheless, we have made it clear on many occasions that we could not support an extension of the bombing to such areas. even though we were confident that the United States forces would take every precaution, as always, to avoid civilian casualties. We believe that the value of each application of force must be judged not merely in terms of the military needs which it is designed to meet, but also in terms of the additional suffering and distress which it inflicts upon innocent people and the effect it can have on the prospects for an early move to a political solution. For these reasons, when President Johnson informed me that the United States Government judged it necessary to attack targets touching on the populated areas of Hanoi and Haiphong, I told him that, while we naturally accepted his assurance that these attacks would be directed specifically against the oil installations and that everything possible would be done to avoid harm to the civilian population, we should, nevertheless, feel bound to reaffirm that we must dissociate ourselves from an action of this kind.

“Trump can put a million-percent tariffs on Denmark, and it still doesn't change the answer about Greenland. There are only two possible endings to this bizarre story. Either Trump gives up, or else he goes through with a military invasion.” - Danish military analyst Anders Puck Nielsen
