29. And the sad truth is - that IS the reason.
Fri May 15, 2020, 09:28 AM
May 2020

From everything I've heard and read and observed.

Our side has been under assault, and deeply wounded, by a nonstop barrage of hate radio from coast to coast, and fairytales-from-Hell in Pox Noise and metastasizing cancers like OAN and the Sinclair stations.

WHY is NO ONE among the presumably open-minded super rich, buying up radio and TV stations and developing networks of truth-telling? Bill Gates could do it. Elon Musk could do it. Michael Bloomberg could do it. But that strategy is so far behind the wrong-wingers and knuckled-draggers who seem hellbent on turning back the clock on women's rights, workers' rights, the interests and advancement of people of color, and more.

I apologize. I woke up in a major funk this morning. Things just seem to be looking darker and more grim all over, at the moment. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. All I see are disturbing trends that the Troglodytes are winning. In the last few days I've actually found myself wondering whether the only realistic solution is to consider moving to Canada or something...

donald trump is the worst thing that has EVER happened to our country. And he's brought out the very worst in the worst among us.


On edit -
I realize I need to work on this. CANNOT give up the fight. CANNOT give in to discouragement, which is really plaguing me this morning. Not sure why. Although any republi-CON anywhere can end me toward doom 'n' gloom. Just the fact that they exist, period, can do that if I allow it. Probably gonna be fighting with myself all day...
