And how folks hold the Dems in low esteem. They are our best hope but why don't folks support them?

The rightwing noise machine has been building a very effective propaganda network from Rush Limbaugh to Fox News to the increasing ownership of print & broadcast news networks to podcasts and social media.

A worldview built on false narratives and big lies is entrenched in large segments of voting demographics, but that still doesn't excuse any mature adult for not seeing Donald Trump for the un-American vile creature that he is.

As for the Democratic Party being held in low esteem, that includes millions of people who did not vote for Trump and abhor Republicans in Congress for being his lapdogs.

They think Democrats are weak and ineffective, not fighting hard enough against the dismantling of our government and the fascist takeover.

In the last election, far too many stayed home. THEY effectively stripped the Democratic Party of governmental power to prevent what's been happening the last 7+ months.

later this week.
We have heard that, person to person , and under $100 value, will go through.

We shall see. Of course normally letters took about 8-10 days before and packages took longer. They seemed to sit in NJ in customs for at least 2-4 weeks.
