When I was a kid, I remember being told that if you are smart and work hard

That you could grow up to be President if the United States.
What we are seeing now is the rise of those who aren’t smart and didn’t work hard and resent that for the majority of their lives, they have been under the rule of those that did and they resent it.
They have sought and found refuge in their churches under those that have reinforced their grievance.
They have figured out how to cheat the vote and we have lost 7 of the last 8 elections we (by the numbers) should have won.
We are suffering for their perceived grievance.
We will continue to suffer for their perceived grievance.
I am truly gobsmacked that we just had an assassination attempt on two former Presidents, a former Vice President and former Secretary of State. This is a big fucking deal and 1/3 of these freaks are acting like nothing happened and completely denying one of their own went off the rails but secretly gleeful they did.
Scary times. Please. GOTV!
