I don't know how much more I can take. Sometimes, I almost feel like it's by design.

3. The hypocrisy of the right is stunning. Unbelievable, actually, for anyone in touch with reality.

It wears me down. I don't know how people can be so hypocritical & not see it. If a dem had done a fraction of what this asshole does, they would have started impeachment already. And his numbers still hover around 40%. What the fuck, America? I didn't realize that so many of my fellow citizens have their collective head planted so deep up their collective ass.

It started with hate radio 35 years ago & the dems have ignored it. Now we have a segment of the population who would rather vote for a child predator than a democrat. Unfuckingbelievable.

11. That's because decency, integrity and honesty are under assault in this country

It's not just Democracy. Trump has made lying and cheating, bending rules, doing what you want, saying what you want no matter who it hurts, cool to a lot of people. They love that he's a liar who gets away with it all. I suspect there are people who are on the fence about him who find these traits admirable as well, only they're too chicken to say it outwardly. We're in a lot of trouble. Probably past the point of return TBH.

But they have defined the narrative. We need to stop using THEIR narrative.

It gets better, just don't look for good news in the headlines. That's not what the headlines are for.
