Im glad Im old Im glad Im old and I feel so sorry for all those people who have worked so hard to make this country decent, generous, and welcoming. I don’t know what we are, but if Trump lasts that long his takeover (and that’s what it is) will have gone too far and we will have to start somewhere near the bottom again.

I’m torn, frankly. You see the building go up in flames, and you don’t want to watch, but you watch anyway. Same with this. I so do not want to see what’s going on, but some part of me says, ‘pay attention. It might matter.”

Hi Judy. I understand how you feel. But I don’t worry so much about tRump as he is a deadman walking and none of the people who are suggested to follow him from the administration or republican party can not control maga like tRump does. I worry about the deep state that the conspiracists claimed was against them but did not exist however now they have created one. They have filled sensitive and high ranking positions with die hard right wing ideologues who are racists and haters of the LGBTQ+ community. The next democratic administration is going to have to deal with these people trying to block or slow walk everything the democratic administration wants to accomplish. tRump managed to stack the courts at the appeal levels and the SCOTUS because Obama refused to fight McConnell to appoint judges and Biden only had lower court openings for the most part. But even as the older generations refuse to step aside and give up poltical power the younger generations are showing up in great numbers for more progressive and less corporate democrats. Democratic Socialists of America is the fastest building party in the US. Hugs
