I don't usually do this kind of stuff, but...

I was just out in my front yard and a line of pick up trucks drove by honking their horns. They all had Tя☭mp flags stuck in the beds.

With a big smile on my face, I held up both hands with my middle fingers up.

I feel good.

I don't swear.
I don't wish people dead, or even ill.

Until the last four years.

And that is what I find saddest, and most disturbing, about Trump's presidency - the number of people who are changing, largely becoming coarser and more hateful.

Haven't gotten to the middle finger stage, yet.

Remember when people got all bent out of shape about him saying "Malarky!"? If that is the worst we have to look forward to, it will be a breath of fresh air.

These days I get so mad I sound like this bird:

I sounded like that for about fifteen months, took a while to get to a dull roaring scream where I seem to be able to function without scaring people away! Now that I've internalized the rage, I can think clearly once in a while.

Raining and I wasn't sure what it was at first until I could make out the flags.

they may see me do it and then I may be in trouble, as a bad ankle lets me walk but not run.

the rest of us. Oftentimes, you don't really see them in a good light, being that they are out at night, breaking storefront windows, gluing mailbox openings shut w/ superglue, in other words, doing all kinds of underhanded tactics to suppress the vote.

...go by without comment.

I had to stop in a convenience store when one of these race baiting festivals went by, and there was a Klan woman in it wearing a "Fuck your feelings" tee shirt. I said, "Fuck the Klan to her, and she went out to tell her Klan boyfriend biker all about it. Fuck him. He just glared and I glared right back.

I don't know what made me angrier, the stupidity of these people or that there was not one mask to be seen.
They were standing shoulder yelling for Trump.
We had 17 cases of COVID the week before and these idiots were not social distancing at all.

But be careful especially if they come by again. At least be ready to duck.
There are some real yoo-hoos around your parts, but you know that.

Whenever I see that kind of thing, the BIG-ass pickup trucks with the BIG-ass trump flags flapping behind them, one thought keeps popping into my mind:

“Overcompensating?”
