what pisses me

I am hopeful Biden will put this out..got a better than even chance but what really REALLY upsets me is how many people approve of Trumps disgusting , dangerous and anti democratic behavior..
There are far too many people in this country that are willing to trade democracy for an autocrat..Really disgusting and shocking to me

and it isn't new.

They have been here all through the history of the US.

They are the worst of us.

We are a wonderful nation, but there has always been authoritarian followers, there has always been con men, there has always been ornery deplorables, and there has always been stupid people.

We've got to keep moving forward, keep pushing education, keep pushing kindness and inclusion.

It might seem that Donald Trump is so obviously a clear and present danger to the US that one must be either mendacious or stupid to vote for him (arguably, it ought to be so), but what seems obvious to one is opaque to another.
