"I’ve just described a man who has done everything you thought Trump would do and worse. This was the Democrats’ solution to the Orange Menace: pouring gasoline on a fire." this is the most profound statement I've read in weeks. Thanks.

Thanks, Jana. Isn't it sad that I have to work to get people to listen to the most practical and level-headed sort of commentary about this party? That's where the straw manning comes in. They have no argument or justification for genocide, obviously. The worst are the "What's your definition of Genocide?" peeps. I won't even respond to that nonsense. Another good one: "Why do you think Biden is responsible?" It's hard, though. I lost two friends recently, and I did nothing to insult them. I just shared information, and they just decided I was a secret, closeted reactionary and Trumper, a Putin Puppet receiving mark money. Yes, dears, I'm also capable of hurtling myself into the stratosphere to capture stardust for my magic potions... Jesus, all this for refusing to vote for a child murderer. Millions of people in this country have lost their minds, politically, just stumbling around in the fog of incessant ideological messaging and propaganda. I have never seen anything like it in my lifetime, and it's bleeding over into other areas, this inability to deal with factuality or reality. The worst thing about it all is that we get autocracy and authoritarianism either way: the Dems' mass surveillance and censorship, a Stasi-like nightmare, or the infinitely crude, jackbooted thuggery of Trump. In any case, thanks again. Your comments mean a lot to me because it's hard to keep doing this and losing people. But as a moral decision, it was easy, and I'm ready to keep paying the price. Thanks so much for your encouragement. I'm trying to find someone to help me with PR so I can do this full-time. Until then, there are plenty of windmills for me to tilt at.
