(17,320 posts)I've been a member since 2004. But, this is the first time I've ever felt that if I said exactly what I thought, I'd be kicked out. I've already had a post hidden which said, and I quote almost verbatim,
"In my opinion, (...name of a State...) is the least enlightened state in the Union."
That was it, hidden. Didn't matter that I was born and raised there and had been an educator for 35 years, at all levels including the State University. What I said about my state was out of love, with an attempt to be constructive.
Anyway, Clinton has been appointed by at least the Democratic Establishment, if not the conglomerate of the super rich that might trust her to do their bidding more than any of the Republican clowns. It almost seemed that the Republican Power Brokers never were planning to install the Republican nominee. Now Trump, ever the opportunist for a deal, has jumped in and seized control of the Republican name is may win the President, in which neither Party will be in power. It may well become a dictatorship. (JFK warned us that a President could easily turn us into a dictatorship.)
Fellow, DU'er, I've deeply enjoyed participating on this lively political board. If I get "tombstoned", maybe we'll meet again on another board.
