It is extremely well written and right on target.

They not only protested, they dumped the tea in the harbor. When their demands for justice were ignored they didn't quietly go back to their homes. The fact is they armed themselves and fought those who would enslave them vowing to never submit. "Give me liberty, or give me death" was their answer. If it had not been for their resolve we could very well still be vassals of the nobility. Seems to me that we are quickly becoming vassals of the oligarchs with the same results.

I think we all share those views.

(R)'s and Magats. The "leaders" in the gop are quietly helping tRump dismantle every decent law in the country. Mulvaney calls for EVERY US department in the country to cut their personnel and budgets, to finally eliminate them all. We will soon rival Russia as the most corrupt regime in the world.

2020 likely will be a historical pivot year. Either the USA regains its sanity and moves to embrace the ideals espoused by the Founders or we continue down a dark path that leads to suppression and despair for vast numbers around the world.

Without the guiding light of Lady Liberty our nation of many will be lost for generations.

My stomach hurts.

I keep repeating John Lewis's recent tweet in my brain:

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way."

I was unfamiliar with Mr. Lewis' tweet. Thanks, mtngirl47!

of the constant hate-fueled shit show than there are in the MAGA crowd.

Thanks for posting.

It doesn't seem like a logical election strategy to divide the voters and drive people away from your campaign.

But, then again, nothing with Trump is logical or intelligent.

I am pretty sure he is basing his entire re-election and presidency off of the statistics of how many times some of these awful memes on social media have been shared and liked.

It really does make me feel terrible to have such negativity about Republicans and their supporters. I really hate the hate.

... when he was running for re-election, and this is before the Watergate troubles hit him. According to Nixon any American who didn't support the Vietnam War had to be unpatriotic. Therefore you had to vote for Nixon, or you couldn't possibly love your country. Of course all the "patriotic" Americans bought it, hook, line and sinker. It was mainly us babyboomers and a few liberal anti-war, unpatriotic Democrats who refused to support the war AND Nixon.

Once all the Watergate crap came out, and people started seeing straight - by then the election was over - they realized how they'd been duped by the lying asshole. But Nixon sowed a lot of hatred back then in order to get re-elected.

Nixon was so obviously a liar about the Viet Nam War that even as a teenager I could see through his BS. I've never understood how people can be so easily misled.
