79. "I wish I could be less cynical."

It's so difficult to do, when you see one party stay breaking laws/rules on the regular--from trying to overthrow a government--to having two known sexual assaulters and worse sitting on the Highest Court in the land who will probably be voting to dismantle Roe vs Wade. Dems being Polly Pure Breads will show 'em, especially if Roe vs Wade is overturned. Then what? You have YOUNG right-winged, Federalist crazies packed onto courts all across this country thanks to MoscosMitch/GQP, who will be doing a LOT of damage to people who aren't rich, white, right-winged males for a very long time. But then again, the GQP got away with packing the courts, and they're trying to steal yet another election Because of the white male from WV and the woman in Arizona who don't CARE that the filibuster is about to make Dem voters pay big time, unless we come out in numbers to vote that haven't been seen before for the next GE, and even then laws are on the books currently that will suppress voting rights for the mostly loyal base of African-Americans that have stood by and voted for Dems, but in some ways don't always get their justice.

Back to Roe vs Wade, I'm happy to be out of childbearing age, but I do feel for younger women who have GQP'ers in firm control their bodies. Oh well.

Damn, the GQP's winning streak is quite impressive isn't it? I mean, even when they are in the minority they still have optimum strength and go on about getting their agenda passed/done.
