The most poisonous thing that happened to our country was the election of the orange monster

So many family and friends divided. Thanksgiving will be segregated by maga and non maga !

I am so ashamed that our country is so divided by hate and division perpetrated by a known lying conman.

I feel so much revulsion now about where our country is going.

That to me is much scarier. If it were just an "orange monster" then we could identify it and try to neutralize it.

But it's probably most of the very rich from around the world who are behind this overthrow of democracy.

Who is best friends with Putin and the autocratic billionaires.
Americans think this is a good idea.

I refuse to believe the number is that high, as a huge portion of this pathetic country doesn't vote.

Many of the polls are deliberately cooked.
And I believe the votes were tampered with in this election.

So we do not know the exact numbers.

But we have enough MAGAs around to make stealing the election fairly easy.

Had a very heated conversation with MIL yesterday after turning down Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. I told her that we were never going there again. We cannot get over them voting against my husband stroke survivor for healthcare and his social security. And that we will never forgive them for voting for a child rapist. They are greedy, selfish and mean and we want to be far away from that.

No lowlives and gutter dwellers. I sure as hell will never befriend one.

He has really poisoned this nation. It's been almost ten years now the orange fat clown has been popping his mouth into right wing politics.

As their jubilant elation meets ultimate sorrow...
Catastrophe's joy'll take 'em decades to swallow...

I and mine count ourselves extraordinarily fortunate...

We're the only members of our family that escaped the Abrahamic bood cult of 'Christ' in which we were reared.

All the rest of our family members are Y'all Qaeda Nat-Cs through and through...

It's awful

Instead of dwelling on that...

We embrace what we love starting with ourselves and discard the rest.

Love the one's we're with!
