Hey, DU, I just wanted to let y'all know I love ya. Its been very helpful to have a community of sane people to discuss with as the world goes bat shit. I have a lot of repug family members who defend the actions of the repulsive pile of human waste occupying the oval office. I've shed many tears after hearing those I love with all my heart defend that which I abhor with all my heart. You guys have at least helped me realize that this problem is not uncommon. Ever since I've been politically conscious (age 12) I've viewed conservatism as evil. The wars, the greed, the plain hatred for all that is different. I can't wrap my head around why people buy into it. My DU account is almost three years old now. Thanks Skinner and admin for keeping this thing running even through the hacks. Every day that goes by with since the tRump nightmare started, I feel I'm starting to slip more. I still can't believe this is actually happening, I cry whenever I hear Obama speaking now, even though I consider myself substantially to the left of him. I miss having a President that has a brain and actually gives a shit about the people. Barack is a wonderful man. My blood boils whenever I hear tRumps voice or some right wing ass hat defending him. I'm young so this is a very new experience to me. I was lucky enough to be quite young and oblivious during the shrub years. On top of all the trump shit, my anxiety caused me to develop vision problems. Thank God (and Doctors) for Zoloft. 2017 has been a shit year for me, although the end of '16 (after the election) was even worse. Thanks for keeping me at least a little bit sane. Bless you all.
