Anyone else see the end of Maddow show tonight?

12. No kidding. I missed my local Dems meeting tonight, due to important business.

I was so looking forward to it. You can bet I will be at as many meetings going forward as possible, and engaging everyone I know from here on out. Already have been. Pissed a few off, too. I am lmao. I had to suffer their comments and FB postings throughout these last 4 years. I have been blowing it right back at them, and virtually everything i have said has been the truth. At first, when they thought they were winning they were all smug. Crickets now. I am in a "forced red" state. Meaning, the only reason it is red now is through busting the unions and shipping the remaining union members (bulk presumably Democrat) to red states like Kansas and Texas. Now they are here crowing as if we were a red state all along. No, we were a purple state all along. Plenty of Democratic wins. My congressional district was represented for years by Phil Sharp, and the district ran a little more east-west. By the time 2010 rolled around they had re-districted more north to south, to further dilute the D power, and I was represented by tea-partyer Mike Pence. Right wingers bought the local newspapers, consolidated them (two papers down to one), and then let the chamber of commerce types run the show. The brand of Republicanism I see through my lifetime is an illness on the part of those in charge, and a different illness on the part of the deceived. With enablers all around. Yep, you can bet my attendance at my local D meetings will either make or break me and the party here. If I can't give it a go here, I MUST find a district I can move to, to make a difference. As my genuine long-time friend (and tea-party buffoon) said to me over and over, "Silent no more!". Indeed, my friends, I am silent no more.
