I'm actually beginning to hope my children won't have kids

As much as I would love to be a grandmother, I fear for what kind of world they would live in. My kids are in their 20s - what will their lives be like when they are my age? Damn these republicans,they are destroying the whole world.

I have 2 granddaughters and a third on the way. All are biracial. Between this insanity and the white nationalism and everything else he's doing I am seriously concerned. The fact that Congress seems to be going along with his nonsense is truly frightening.
