10. It's really disturbing that almost half of the people in this country are brainwashed idiots

whose minds are completely impervious to reason.

Sometimes I think of what and when our "turning point" will be. When will it become too late for this country to be saved for democracy and for those who would save it? When will we know when all is lost and there is still time to flee while we still have our lives? I know most of you will think that impossible and too dramatic, but others have thought the same in other times and they were unfortunately too optimistic.

I still have hope that we can overcome this push toward fascism, however even if we get rid of Trump and his administration, what is to be done with his die hard supporters, of which there are legion. They aren't going to just disappear. I honestly don't know the answer or what the future holds, but this is something I think about often.

Walsh got into Congress as a "tea bagger". He was my rep. for a minute, unfortunately. Progressive Jones Aug 2020 #23
