So much horror, I don't want to see such photos myself, but such photos outed the Nazi death camps.

@Willow_Wisp Yes, I'm sure the photos are horrific..but we know the Thoughts and Prayers and The Moments of Silence, Do Nothing..as far as I can see, It's the Only way to wake up the population to what these weapons do to the bodies of people, especially Chidren..

When the whole thing implodes.

We're in a mini Ukraine but it's on two fronts we have the ape shit-crazy men, but the invasion is from Christian Nationalist in bed with the Republican party that can't risk disarming themselves, not now, not on the verge of a civil war that they're planning, not after all the money they spent on ammunition.

@Betty We seem to be well on the way to implosion.

@Redheadedgammy It's still the early stages and it takes awhile to crumble. Lots of pain ahead.

Such cowards don't deserve the office.

@Willow_Wisp I agree but that doesn't change the fact that they have it and will do just about anything to keep it.

@Betty Until they get voted out of office.

@Betty We can stop supporting them and explain as patiently as possible to anyone that might be convinced why they should stop supporting them as well. I really suck at it, I kind of snap and just can't deal with their shield of faith in a non-reality that only the GOP can see.

@dalefvictor

@dalefvictor Then you will get a new set of cowards.

@Willow_Wisp You can always hope.

@Willow_Wisp Only if the Dem's get control of all three houses and don't back down from the protests. Only they you may have a chance to get your wish.

If nothing else I got to bitch about it.
I'm at the point where I should be able to relax and watch soap operas, have too many cats, and patiently await death, but no, this pansy ass country is calling me to war again, and if I weren't a veteran I would have PTS from the consequences of the 2016 election. The fact that me feeling like this gives republicans delight is nauseating but it's not like they'll relent if we give them the satisfaction.
They tried to kid nap a Governor.
They wanted to hang the vice president.
They don't like people of color nor Jews, nor LGBTQ+, nor academia, nor women, nor democracy.
I need a therapist to deal with the rapist, they're raping America.
We all share this PTSD.

@Willow_Wisp I wish I could make you feel better. I'm Canadian and I see what is happening from a distance. The fallout will affect Canada since the U.S. is our biggest trading partner.

Civilizations have been using a pyramid model from the beginning. When the base become too big and the lower levels of the base become fractured and can no longer support the upper structure the whole thing crashes. It is just a matter of time.

There will be band aid (temporary) solutions that will extend the time for a few generation but a time will come when they will fail. Even if you get good politicians, the fractures are there and a permanent fix will not be possible.

It is my opinion that big can not work because the control and oversight is lost. History of past civilizations have shown us the possible consequences yet we have not learned from their mistakes. That is why I fear that if Texas prevails in white washing history, more mistake will be repeated.

I suggest that you give yourself permission to accept what you can't change and concentrate on what you have control of, and breath. <3

@Betty As long as the Dems keep chasing the dwindling White Moderate voters and start coming through for POC and other minorities will they regain control.
Biden needs to remember how he won, Due to a huge push by Black and Minority Women. It's also long past time for the Oligrachs of the Party to stepdown..they've become a hindrance to progress.

@Betty Not if one takes the time to put good people in the place to serve.

@dalefvictor I like your optimism. You can always hope.

@Betty Time is one thing that can be controlled, there are many ways to vote.
