We all barely survived raygun and the bushes, at least I didn't lose my love for politics because of them. Since the rat bastard of all rat bastards made the scene and effed up the world, I find myself caring less every day. I don't watch any of m usual news shows at all. I get most of my news here because I don't have to listen to or look at anything if I don't want to.
While we were all living in our comfortable cocoons the slow rolling tsunami of hate and insanity got us while we were sleeping. I'm afraid that it's too late to stop or fix any of this.
Anyway Happy New Year DU

(13,017 posts)You are singing my song. 7+ years of scouring news that this is the one that takes him down. Everyday it only makes him more popular.
Im tired. Nearly 8 years of my 12 years of retirement have been with deep hate and dispise. No end in sight. Watching Gods newest spawn, Johnson, flap his gums at the border, smooth as can be, knowing it was all lies and bullshit, but floating around on his BuyBull, untouchable, made me vomit.
Time to spend what I got left without that son of a bitch in my face daily. All I can do is vote, and hope NC does not throw it out. The only news that will matter, is he has succumb to decomposition, and laid on top of Ivana At Mardi-Lardo out of the lives of every person on earth.
Good luck Faux pas. Maybe this WILL be a happy New year, seems like each one since he and his HO floated down the escalator.
Each Jan1 with hope this one is gonna be good and each December 31 with a what the fuck was the last year about.
I agree with you Traildogbob, the only "news" I want to hear is that he's dead or imprisoned. I'm sure we'll all make it, although it'll seem like an eternity.

(4,741 posts)His numbers have pretty much leveled off and aren't improving. He's strong with the traitor thug party and the dumber and more racist independents, but with everyone else he's not doing all that great.

(13,017 posts)I have family that voted for him and will not again. BUT, say Joe can not have another term. What they do to go against Joe, could plant Trump right back, Till Death Do Us Part. Then Jr. 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

(11,767 posts)I am sure people during the Civil War, WWI, the tumult of the Interwar Years and Prohibition, WW2, the Cold War, the Civil Rights protests and riots, etc... also felt that "it is too late to stop or fix any of this" but things got a little better. Right now we are still in the rightward swing, or perhaps at the apex of the swing and getting ready to start the swing left.
We have gone through things like this repeatedly. Every generation thought it might be "the end".
My main concern is the pain that we will have to go through to correct the course. I don't care if I suffer so much. I don't want my children to suffer.

The right has a knack for controlling the narrative and it goes way back to when I was posting this:
Fox News says Obama beats his wife
CNN says it needs more information
MSNBC says no he doesn't.
All 3 stations are talking about Obama beating his wife.
Substitute Obama beats his wife with any other issue on cable.

Tesha
(21,141 posts)people are always proving a point by posting a link to a video - and you KNOW it's ful of crap without even checking.
I am the evil one when I ask where I can find what they're saying in print - because I CAN'T STANT LISTENING TO THESE JERKS.
Pardon me for shouting - but they really are breaking our country.
Faux pas
(16,356 posts)an echo chamber of alternative facts, for sure. The problem is, is they love it there. I blame it all on the destruction of our educational system, critical thinking is not encouraged.
Hang ten and hang in Tesha!

(4,741 posts)At least the US variety. They've been in the tank for the wealthy and the traitor thugs for decades now. You'll be more informed if you shut them off and get your news from media outlets that aren't full of traitors. Start with the Guardian, and ProPublica.
Even watching one hour of NHK (Japan's state-run media) will keep you better informed of what's going on in the US than 90% of US traitor scum media.
