Thanks so much for this series of posts and perspective!! You’ve fully validated the way I’ve been feeling for quite some time and I’m glad to know that I’m not alone!

You can still be found dead in a hotel room so all’s not lost.

Watching this documentary on PBS and I am weirded out that I was completely unaware of this. I was born during this time period and thought I had a pretty good idea of what was happening in the late 60s. Blown away at this history I’ve been deprived of knowing for so long.

It’s not that I want to disengage from politics and related current events, but I’m pretty much done with all things Trump. No more clickbait, no more channel surfing. It amazes me how certain media outlets have so many people on payroll willing to drone endlessly about “what if?” Is he going to prison? Is going to be president? It’s just tedious. At this point I’ve come to terms with the fact that my span of control is voting in November and waiting for verdicts. The rest is nonsense.

@markmetz

Why do a poll? It’s incumbent on all of us to ask republicans this question in person. Any chance you get.

@tmstreet

Goes without saying. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Criticism of EITHER country’s behavior and/or treatment of its neighbors is REQUIRED.

There are 3,143 counties in the US. I keep waiting for our journalism to do a story about how each county is broken down into small precincts to distribute and collect votes and how INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE it would be to “rig” an election.

If you want to argue facts with a Trump supporter, good luck. If you want to drive them absolutely up a wall, tell them you won’t be voting for him because he wears diapers and smells bad. Keep hammering on that point and nothing else. Argue calmly with things like “everyone knows he wears diapers” or “look... if you want a president that smells bad, go for it, but no other president in this country’s history has ever smelled that bad. That’s a fact!” Try it. The reaction is priceless.

I’m unaware of any democracy that came about in the absence of violence; either by an oppressor or by the oppressed. Kvetching about the many ways an unlikely Trump presidency will result in a fascist nightmare is foolish. If one truly believes in such a possibility, then the only concern should be the kind of violence one is prepared to commit in the defense of the democracy.

@Wolven

Bookmarked. Thank you.

So, in my wise old age I’ve found that 9 times out of 10 my ugly, most awful fears about the future never actually happen. And if any of this frightful stuff does happen, there are plenty of allies that will come out swinging. Count on it.

@angiebaby

I was thinking the stumbling block may be the continued expectation of the white Jesus to deliver them from Pharaoh.

@lauren

that was back in the days when the phone company was a monopoly. Now, in our glorious future, free markets and competition have made phone companies so much better. 😒

@Mrfunkedude

As long as the who isn’t me and the what isn’t my butt (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I’m cool. 😎

@GatekeepKen

Patience grasshopper.

Jesus murder someone? 😲 Jesus would be turning in his grave if he read this. Oh...wait...
