your disappointment and despair is the same as mine
but i would note that history has cycles
and that part of the reason we are backsliding is so many stopped fighting
dealing with bigotry and malice is just a maintenance function of civilization
you take the trash out every thursday (well i do)
and if you don't?
your house fills with trash
we stopped doing it because "someone else's job" or we just got used to the trash
our error
we *never* stop fighting
