The French backed the US

when we were fighting for our freedom from England. We just helped them out with Intel that prevented Russia from hacking their election the way ours was hacked. Do you think they will help us fight for our freedom from our Russian puppet? Maybe provide some nice Intel to the press?

I'm still in shock that I live in a country that didn't overwhelmingly elect Al Gore, John Kerry, or Hillary Clinton as president, given the option (and the choice at hand). In my lifetime, I've had to live through a Reagan presidency (and alert to millennials, it was just as bad to get a job and pay off bills getting out of college when he was in office than it is now), a Nixon presidency, and two Bush Crime Family presidencies; now we have the monstrosity that in office at the moment. I am just physically sick over it. Even her own party turned its back on her, when she's been out working tirelessly for it for decades.

I'm just convinced that a white male president is a comfort zone for a lot of people, and with all the voter suppression, it will never change. I'm discouraged.
