And I worry about that but I will not be silent.
My heart breaks for all of this, all parties involved have tortured minds, bodies and spirits. Our Party is fracturing into such extreme factions, some that either do little to nothing to stop our own despot here in this country, to overt support for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of children and justify it as a "means to an end".
I am so fucking tired of all of it. So sick of the fighting. The hate. The meanness. The anger.
The suffering. The pain. The death. The misery.
Just stop.
Just stop.

Can you provide valid sources to back that up? Someone tried above but that seemed to be disproven rather quickly.
