25. This is NOT......
Sun Oct 22, 2017, 04:00 AM
Oct 2017

the country I grew up in. This country has absolutely NO resemblance to the country in which I cast my first vote, some 50 years ago. It's gotten so much worse, and it's NOT because of the Democratic party. The GOP is turning our country into a fascist dictatorship at an ever escalating rate. Only the wealthy and wingnuts can expect government that works for them. Everyone else might as well bend over and kiss your asses goodbye. EvanHELLical christians are telling our government what to do, and nary a word is said about it. It's accepted. White Supremacists are telling our government what to do. Not a word. It's accepted. The Russians are telling our "president" what to do. Lots of words about it, but it's accepted.

The border to the north is looking better every day. If I didn't love my daughter, son-in-law, and grand-children so much I'd already be gone. I have a life altering decision to make, because I cannot live in this country, with these idiotic "leaders", anymore. Either I assimilate with the rest of the mindless morons, or I move and become the loneliest man on earth.

No one ever told me there would be days like THESE!
