5. Yes I'm scared

Tue Jul 2, 2024, 08:11 AM

Jul 2024

That has crossed my mind, and I just started posting here, having not done so since the Iraq war. I've followed DU ever since, but was trying to lower my online presence. 75 years old, I live alone in South Florida (on SS), and have no one to talk to about what has transpired, at least until I see my sisters on vacation next week. I am furious, and scared.

I'm sure my Republican friends on Facebook are annoyed with my many political posts, but they don't confront me. If they haul me off for sedition, I can tell some of my MAGA family I told you so.
