I think the biggest thing feeding into any fear people are feeling now is the complete lack of accountability, it’s like no one gives two shakes, lotta talk…no action.

How the hell is that Orange Blob performing a ballet Center Stage dressed in a tutu made of top secret documents and getting away with it? MAGA citizens love authoritarian venues, no thinking required…do as you’re told… we’ll figure it out for you…carry on.

Every single maga repub has betrayed their oath of office and should be thrown out of D.C.. Fuck voting them out they did not live up to an oath they took, march them out, now!

MAGA repubs have been taking over the grassroots, putting people in places that could cause problems. Voting rights are being skewed the effects are yet to be quantified. Will sheer turnout power victory?…each side is hoping it does.

I awoke that day, powered up the machine and clicked on Huffington Post bookmark saw the headline “NIGHTMARE” Trump elected president. I got physically sick and threw up on the spot.
That feeling didn’t leave for four fucking years. Don’t think I can do another four, he won’t live to do eight and if he does I’ll be gone…too old for a return of this shit.

Old, elderly, wizened, words that signify the shop may be closing. Also signifies a life that may have been well lived. I’ve made signs, I’ve marched, protested, I’ve fought for rights that changed peoples lives, I’ve lost friends fighting for those causes. I see those rights being cancelled, a lifetime of work and worry stomped on in a minute. I can’t even cry anymore, tears have no meaning.

I’m not giving up, thank you all for letting me rant all these disjointed comments.
