Belfast is Burning. Because of COURSE IT IS.

5. Brexit was sold as freedom, just like Trump sold ignoring the virus as freedom.

Trump and Johnson—two of the worst, most incompetent people ever elected to head major countries. Both have loosed mayhem on their populations that may well last for decades. At least Scotland and Northern Ireland have options. They can rejoin the EU. Our options to deal with the Trump Party are more limited, though I’m about ready for an EU type separation where we have freedom of trade and movement, but separate governments. A logistical nightmare, perhaps, but I’m really tired of a right-wing minority using gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the EC to control the majority who do not support their goals of authoritarian government.

I’m not in a blue state now, but I spent plenty of years in them and I’m tired of paying the bills for the red states that just want to overturn democracy and keep their white supremacy and religious extremism alive.
