that I’m unhappy with the fact that we’ve replaced an unpopular man who actually DID his job with a demented idiot who hasn’t done the job in 38 years and is a racist pedophile along with a racist whore.
I might be quiet for a while until this entire shit-show reaches its final conclusions.
zee's muse 
We’ve not been the best of friends and I know we’re on opposite sides politically speaking but I’ve still been reading here on and off and wishing you well. This post, however, has shocked me and has now become the dealbreaker for me; it’s time for me to move on. I am not one to support any person blindly, not even the ones I support for leadership positions, but these things you say are QAnon lies.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/07/anti-biden-ad-misleads-on-race-claims/
I’m sorry you’re disappointed and I still wish you well.
For starters, the fact checkers on facebook are not reliable and are untrustworthy. We refer to them as ‘The three stooges’. The majority of the time, if you look at them, you’ll see what they pinging has NOTHING to do with statement.
Also the person in charge of Facebook’s factcheckers was a former Biden staffer. Sounds fishy to me.
you know, I asked NICELY one time to have an adult discussion. You refused. You don’t live here. I do. The middle class never does well under Democrats. I don’t know why what I said is so shocking? It’s the truth. AM I not allowed to speak my truth on MY wordpress? I rarely do. The only thing I got from you for your hate for Trump was ‘big bad orange man’. He’s kept all of his promises. He’s made us a better. He corrected as much of Obama bullshit as he could. Are you aware he has been nominated for at least one Nobel Peace Prize? Or did that not register?
Joe Biden fondles children on camera. It’s uncomfortable to watch them pull away or try to pull away. He sold us to China. To Russia. He and his crack head son have made more quiet deals to line their own purses.
He has dementia. He’s nothing more than a puppet and that I find to be sad that he is being used in such a callous way.
Trump donated his salary. He’s the only president who personal worth has gone down. Down by 33%.
Biden wrote ONE bill in his entire 38 years in office. Know what it was? A crime bill that targeted blacks. He called them ‘predators’. He stated he did not want his children going to school with the ‘children in the jungle.’
Kamala Harris slept her way into the DA’s office for her first appointment. She had an open and acknowledge affair with her boss. Destroyed his marriage. Bragged about it even. Her father no longer speaks to her. While AG in California, she unfairly targeted young black first non-violent drug offenders – usually pot – and put them for life, while joking about her own drug use. SHe wasn’t chosen for her legal or political acumen. She was chosen for her color, as well as what is NOT dangling between her legs. Now if that’s not sexist and racist, I don’t know what is. They didn’t look for the best, they looked for someone to fit the bill.
According to Democrats, they’re coming our guns (yes they are) they plan to load the Supreme Court and according to several far left Congress people (including AOC) they have kept list of people who supported Trump. they plan to incarcerate us, make sure we lose our jobs, make sure we never work again. Joe is going to shut down our economy. Trump has spent 4 years bringing it back, despite Obama’s claims that ‘those big jobs aren’t coming. Downsize people!’. Those big jobs came back. We traded a proven job creator for a man who helped cause and oversee one of our worst depressions.
Considering the Senate kept their majority, and many seats in the Congress flipped from Dim to Conservative, I have hope that we will hang on by our nails for the next 2 to 4 years.
Sounds pretty nice doesn’t it? So much for the party of tolerance.
I tend to lose everything when Democrats are in charge. Please understand – I am terrified. I’m too old to start all over again. But heckers! If AOC and her Squad have anything to do with me – they’ll make sure I’m living on the streets – along with my son.
I think it’s sad the politics drive such wedges between any sort of friendship. It’s been my observation that it’s Left-wingers who can’t tolerate a differing opinion.
I wish you well.
It’s been my observation that right-wingers get stuck in an alternate conspiracy theory universe (your reaction is another prime example) where discussion is made impossible. Be well!
Zee, it’s the ad hominem nature of your post, rather than your politics that is so shocking to me. You can of course post whatever you want on your blog, but you are not posting into a vacuum. I would have been very interested to read a post discussing the policies on each side and why you are disappointed with the result. I just watched highly intelligent, powerful speeches from Biden and Harris over the last two days. After years of divisive rhetoric, I personally found it inspiring to hear a message promising to work together and attempt to heal a divide. I do hope that is possible.
To call someone a “demented idiot”, a “racist pedophile”, or a “racist whore” to me is shocking. There has been a continual pushing of lies out through various social media, many of them from the incumbent president, his cronies, and his family. Without criminal charges of pedophilia, without proof of quid pro quo for a sexual relationship (even given a relationship that happened), without evidence of “dementia” or “idiocy”, what you are publishing on your site is just insults. While you may think that some of their policies have had an effect of incarcerating a disproportionate number of African American people, I personally don’t believe that that is evidence of racism. Remarks made in the past could be, but I believe that everyone can learn and grow and change and that recent actions and remarks have shown evidence of all of those things.
I’m not sure what you thought would happen in response to your post. I would be surprised if you were surprised now. Many of us have tried to be your friend when you have been in a bad way. But it is very difficult to sustain through posts like this. I don’t consider your post to be an attempt to have any sort of adult, rational discussion. It seems quite clearly designed only to inflame and provoke.
The post was written in frustration. And this response will be oh so long.
Biden has dementia or something similar. He cannot put together a clear sentence for any length of time. I don’t understand why his wife allows it. It’s really elder abuse.
The entire time Biden was in office, he wrote ONE bill. One. A crime bill that targeted blacks. He referred to them as ‘predators’. He stated he didn’t want his children to go to school in the jungle.
The president he was VP for destroyed our economy. He made healthcare unaffordable for many. And before anyone says – but so many got it – not enough to cover the carnage. Very few and the sad thing, help was already out for those without it. I know. I used that help without Obamacare for 5 years. Meds and all.
He is a pedophile. it is uncomfortable and nauseating to watch him fondle children. Many on the right call him Grandpa Grope. They will try to pull away from him or stiffen up. One young girl actually jerked away from him and stepped far enough so he couldn’t reach her.
He lied so many times. He went to law school on full scholarships.
Nope. Half.
He graduated at the top of his class.
Nope. Right near the bottom.
He was failed in one class for plagiarism. Had to retake it. Claimed he wasn’t aware that he was supposed to quote a certain way. I’ve taken many classes – including non-lit courses and the professors were VERY clear on how they wanted terms and essay done. It was even in the syllabuses with examples. He actually was running for president in the 80’s when that came out and he stepped down. we didn’t get an apology. We got an excuse. He’s never apologized for mistakes or lies. He excuses them, blames others.
Kamala was AG for California – a state that has been fiscally irresponsible for decades. She got her first DA position by sleeping with her boss and destroying his marriage. She has openly admitted this.
No apology.
As AG for California, she openly targeted black first time non violent drug offenders – typically possession. She went after life sentences for these people who really needed help and not jail.
Her State didn’t want her to be president. Neither did her party. She was the only democratic presidential candidate who got 0% of the vote.
She has been declared by several agencies to be the furthest left senator in the Senate. Further left than Bernie. That’s bad. Bernie says he’s a Socialist… the boy is communist. I have problems with that.
When I do have discussions about Trump, i get this…
He’s a bad orange man.
Carrot head!
Big Baby
and every now and then I’ll get – fascist.
IMPEACH!!!
In short, you don’t like his character. I get that. He’s abrasive. So is every other New Yorker I know. No one ever talks about what’s he’s DONE for or against America. Just – Big bad orange man!
Really? Are you aware right now, AOC and other congressmen are openly telling us, they are keeping lists of Trump supports. We’re going to be incarcerated, dogged, get us fired from our jobs so we will never work again.
Makes you want to join that party, don’t it?
They have every intention of rewriting our Constitution, taking many of our rights away from us. This isn’t a fabrication of the Right. It’s the truth. Go listen to their speeches.
Disagree with him? Hate speech.
Got a gun? Not anymore.
Religious values? Forget that. The Bible is banned in California. Can’t buy it there. Why? Hate speech. The Bible. Love thy neighbor. Don’t covet your neighbors wife (Hunter should read that!) Do not murder. Do not steal. Honor your parents.
Hate speech.
We disagree on few things…
OMGHATESPEECCCCCCCCCCCCH!
I would like to know why Biden never mentioned the riots going on in far leftist cities, destroying them, destroying people’s livelihoods. I have a good friend whose black mother has owned a family bakery going back 3 generations. She was set to retire and hand it over to 2 of her children at the end of this year. She took a loan a year ago to update much of her equipment.
The bakery was burned to the ground. Nothing left but twisted metal and concrete walls. If it was salvageable, it was stolen. the cash register and safe, stolen. Yanked out of the wall!
Everyone says – oh you have insurance. It’s just material goods! They can be replaced. You value material possessions over human lives!!!
Not if they are your source of income. Not worth shit if your policy only covers 10k. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of destruction and she’ll get 10k. Doesn’t cut it. Actually, it was decided she gets nothing because the damage was not a natural catastrophe. IT was man created, not God created. And even if God ordained it, she’s still only get 10K
Come to discover the neighbor’s kid – who she baby sat and hired to work there in the summers – was part of it. He told them where the safe was hidden! Mom shrugged. Oh well, you know he’s angry. You know, white privilege’s, (she wasn’t white!!!!) ACAB, No apology. No attempt to replace or rebuild. The strip mall isn’t rebuilding. So she’s going to take the money she laid aside to retire on, find somewhere else to build and build so her kids will have something. Her nice comfy retirement that she put years and years into is gone. How fair is that?
I don’t think that’s fair and there’s no excuse for it.
And Biden said nothing. A leader doesn’t ignore massive violence! He didn’t say anything! The DNC said NOTHING the entire convention! He finally did after Michael Moore put down his sandwich and told him he better speak up. But otherwise. Not a word.
Did anyone WATCH the DNC??? NO agenda. None! CRAZY CARROT MAN!!! RAISE TAXES! WE WANT OUR CRUMBS BACK!!! FREE! FREE! FREE!
Do you know how Nancy Pelosi paid for the Impeachment?
She robbed our most vulnerable citizens. Our disabled. 2.1 billion dollars from Social Security Income. They’re so afraid of Trump taking away their SSI and Nancy did it to get rid of him on made up charges. 2.1 billion dollars. I’m furious for them because they were told Trump would steal it and while they were screaming Trump is stealing our SSI, Nancy did it in front of their faces and most don’t see.
I didn’t vote for Trump the first time. I wrote in someone else. I happily voted for him this time.
More black Americans voted for him for the first time since 1960. Why? Because he’s proven he can rebuild the economy and create jobs. This was something Obama refused to do and Biden has already told us he is shutting us down, taking down the oil industry, eliminating jobs with no replacement for them. So many unemployed after we’ve had the lowest unemployment numbers in history under Trump.
And no, Obama didn’t do that. It happened when Trump began to do away with unnecessary restrictions. Many of these jobs came from expanding small businesses.
I voted for a message of hope and voted against a message of fear and hate. And yeah, Biden’s message was full of fear and hate. What presidential candidate threatens to FIGHT an old man? Calls a young person a dog-faced pony soldier? Tells a soldier – I don’t work for you.
Calls his non-supporters Chumps?
Well. I guess I’m a deplorable chump, aren’t I? It’s okay to call us names but if we question? See, he’s going to need the support of these Chumps but we won’t forget that, so naah I don’t think you’re offering anything I need. Or can afford to want.
Trump has accomplished fabulous things for our country. Under horrible circumstances, he worked for us.
He’s donated every dime of his salary. His personal wealth has gone down by 1/3rd. Most other politicians have gotten wealthier. AOC is already worth millions. I wonder who she’s donating to?
When violence sprang up in our beautiful cities, destroying them and went unchecked, Trump offered to send help. All of them said no. Except Kenosha. Shut those rioters down right now! When rioters began to attack the White House and the Mayor looked the other way, Trump did in the National Guard. And what did restaurants do? Put glass in their food.Put toxins in their food. What human being does this? Thinks it’s okay? Conservative politicians heckled out of restaurants. Everyday people sitting at restaurants, minding their own business spat on, crowded in and yelled at – Raise your Fist! Raise your Fist! Having their food taken off their tables and thrown or their drinks drank out of. Children and people were raped and murdered in the Antifa enclaves. No Conservative claims these inhuman Communists! One child was raped and the people who stood around and watched refused to call the police. Because the police might come in a hurt somebody. Instead they took her to a hospital after she was traumatized and left her there. LEFT HER THERE! Did nothing to stop it. I would have kicked an ass.
What kind of human being sits by while a CHILD is being abused and sexually molested and does NOTHING when they could have stopped it?
I have many friends who voted Democrat and no longer will. Because they’re tired of waiting for their lives to get better and under Democrats, they never do. Several own their own businesses and Obama’s antics almost brought them to bankruptcy. A friend of mine is crossing the California border to live in Arizona. Less crime. Her boyfriend is coming with her. He owns a transporation company and Newsom has declared war on transporation companies and people leaving the state anyway He’ll move his office to Arizona, watch taxes sink so he can rehire people again. Not to mention Newsom is writing a bill that will continue to tax companies that move out of the state to escape unbelievably high taxes. California has lost many businesses and jobs because of their outrageous taxes. Many are going to Texas or Tennessee. Democrats talk a good talk, but then do nothing. They don’t walk the walk, just promise and then give away their promises to illegals. They’re more interested in their pet project, their purses and in Nancy’s case, her gourmet ice cream.
Did you know Trump signed and enacted the Save Our Seas Act? 10 million a year to clean up the plastic and trash in the ocean. No Democrat would do that. No Democrat has. They talk about pollution but don’t do anything about it unless it’s to bow to the UN who charge us but no one else who haven’t done anything to curb their pollution.
Did you know Trump signed the biggest wilderness protection and conservative bill in a decade designating 375,000 acres as protected land.
Did you know that Traditional black colleges had to go to the presidents office every year to get their money? No one else, but black colleges. Obama didn’t step up to the plate and put them on the same platform as other colleges. Trump did. He made it so they will never have to ask or beg again.
Tax cuts. Tax incentives. He worked with Tim Scott – a black senator – to boot up black entrepreneur businesses. Something for the black community and they call him an ‘uncle Tom’ for trying to better his community.
He removed so many government regulations – those that hindered business and job creation. Regulations we did not need. And what did some little teenager whine on other social media?
But we neeeeeeed those regulations! How will I know if a rat pooped in my food if no one inspects it?
You don’t wash your food? Trust me, I’m not saying this off my head, my grandparents had a farm with 4 acres they planted! My mom and I planted a small veggie garden in our backyard so Spawn could enjoy fresh veggies and herbs and watch them grow. Heck! I’ve grown herbs in my window. Fresh sage, thyme and oregano. But trust me, if it came out of the ground or out of a tree, more than one thing pooped on it and chances are more than likely, the soil is filled with poop as well. It’s called fertilizer.
wash your food.
yes that conversation happened!
AOC wants to kill our cows. They fart. Don’t tell her but all of us fart. Including her.
Cubans are furious about the open border policy Biden embraces. They came here legally and are furious that their hard work to do right is being tossed aside.
Ask anyone who came here while the Iron Curtain was up. My ex husband’s family were all from former Yugoslavia countries. It took them a total of 2 or 3 years. There were 12 of them total. 1970″s, The wall was still up. The Iron curtain was still up. All of them came. Legally. Every one from Eastern Europe from back then… furious that illegals are just walking in, applying for welfare, food stamps. If they work, it’s all cash under that table.
I talk to my exhusband’s cousins. Staunch Republicans all. The one I talk to the most said her very elderly father sobbed when it started looking like Biden was going to win. Said he came to escape socialism and we’re voting it in. Where can he escape to now?
Years ago, I worked in retail. We had regular Romainian customers. I loved talking to them. Their food was awesome! They invited me to their church many times. I asked them once – is the sermon in English?
No. Romanian.
Once the conversation got on politics. It was rather animated and I didn’t understand a word. I said nothing but I kept hearing ‘damned Democrats.’ Makes you wonder.
No conservative I know considers antifa ‘right’. They’re Communists. That other group? Marxists.
The media keeps asking Trump – why haven’t you denounced the KKK? How many times does the man have to repeat himself?
I’ve counted 17 times in 3 years. I denounce the KKK, I denounce David Dukes. I denounce Proud Boys.
Did you know Proud boys are headed by an African American? Do you find that interesting? I find the very interesting!
Breast feeding stations in every airport. Democrats didn’t do that. Trump did.
How many Nobel Peace Prize nominations? For negotiating peace in the middle East. And he worked for them. Obama didn’t work for his. Barry was given his for showing up to work for 11 days.
Peace accords in the middle east. Obama didn’t that.
Got that dictator in North Korea to calm his tits. Trump.
Did not start a solitarywar. First president in decades to NOT start a way. And him a crusty, crabby, obnoxious New Yorker.
My life under Obama was hell. I lost my job. Lost my car. Lost my home. My retirement was destroyed. I ended up putting what I could in a storage unit and what didn’t fit, went to goodwill. A lot of stuff I had to rebuy. My son and I moved in with my parents for 5 years and I suddenly became 15 years old again. Not fun. At all.
And now that same regime is coming back and people can’t understand why I’m not overjoyed. I’m just now getting on my feet! I can’t take another lay off. I pray to work until I”m 68. That will give me 25 years. Do you know how much I’ll get for 25 years service???
They’ll take the 2 years I made the most money. They will average them and then they will give me 2% for every year.
I’ll get 50%.
Thing is – most school systems here don’t take out for Social security. They can’t afford to compete with the big urban cities with high populations for pay for teachers. So the agreement is they don’t pay Social Security for us. We just do the teacher retirement It goes in our paychecks so it makes a better wage. Meaning, we retire on the up to 60%. Or in my case, if I live to be 68, I’ll get 50% – minus taxes and health insurance. And no social security supplement. See, SS and Teacher Retirement together is pretty okay. You’ll get about the same you did before you retired. but without it, you’re screwed and many teachers don’t find that out until it’s too late. Because they aren’t told.
I have 2 or 3 counties that did take out social security. 8 years worth. Plus I’ve worked in the private sector that took Social Security. just under 18 years. So that with the school – 26 years. I need 30 years into Social Security to pull. In order to get medical insurance, I need full social security. Or I pay out of my retirement from the school system. That’s going to be next to impossible – I’ll need a second job and thanks to Long Covid, working my regular job that 4 extra years will be massively difficult. Maybe if I temp every summer and put every time either in a 403B or give to Social Security. I honestly do not see me living that old.
So what does this have to do with the presidential election? Nancy and the democrats tend to use social security as their personal piggy bank. I need 30 years of Social security if I”m to pull the max out. And Nancy spends it like I spent on my Roaman’s credit card! Except I pay the card back. She has no plans to repay it. So it’s questionable if I’ll even have Social Security. Or anybody! That’s the way of the Left!
Other things the left are demanding – college loan forgiveness. You take a loan on a car, you have to pay it back. Car or home Loan forgiveness? It’s called repo. Forgiveness isn’t forgiveness. It’s someone else paying for your college. I paid for my own. Nobody forgave me. My son is paying for his own. I helped. He has a loan. He pays on it religiously. Right now, they’ve said no one has to pay since March. No interest, just wait. He’s paying on it anyway. I help. I paid mine. I gave my niece money. Her mother was paying her college, I helped pay for those girly things, like shampoo and soap and smellies andfacial masks. See, her dad is an asshat. Thought 25.00 a month should pay for those needs. Boy is clueless. I pay for my responsibilities, You should pay yours.
Yeah it’s expensive now. Know why? Because Obama set up these loans that will eat you alive because they were set up that way. People get really pissed when I tell them, I paid for my college as I went. I went overload and I worked full time. I was younger then. In 4 years, I pulled TWO all nighters. That’s all. One year, all of my finals were on my birthday. 5 of them I went from 8 Am to finished the last at 10 PM. IT was my birthday. My science professor was horrified when he found out. I’m not supposed to have more than 2!
But I got it done and I don’t have to make 2 more one hour one way trips down and pay for parking…
I took Spawn with me for specific evening classes. I kept him occupied, he had his Geosafari, his packed Bert and Ernie lunch box, he was a big boy at big people college, he was well behaved and I got to spend time with him because he was with me. he learned things. But I paid for it, no loans, all when I registered. I would like to go back and get my Master’s but I fear I will exhaust myself and go so deep in debt, the money I make on my retirement will go to repaying the loan.
Free healthcare for all. It’s not free. We all pay for it. And we get less than before. We aren’t in charge of how we deal with our health. It’s up to the government when or if you get help. The health care plan Warren suggested would cause our taxes to go up 150%. That’s JUST for medicare for all.
My parents had medicare. THey now pay for health insurance out of pocket because no one will take it. The closest doctor is 90 minutes – it’s our family physician we’ve had since 1980. He now wants the full $1500 deductible per patient (in my parents case – $3000.00) up front before he says hi to you.
Have 2 issues you want to talk about? 2 appointments.
I’m sick and my husband has it as well. 2 appointments.
The closest hospital that would take medicare was over 2 hours away. That’s pretty useless, isn’t it?
Free College. Scotland does that. knocked taxes up so everyone can go DO you know how many people have taken them up on it? Less than 1%. And what if you don’t want to go to college? I’m still going to be taxed for it? If you’re not going to college but you still think people should go for free, why don’t you donate to the college of your choice, or sponsor someone?
Tax-payer funded abortions. No. That’s murder. I can’t support a political party who considers our children disposable. Birth control is CHEAP! I controlled my vagina without government help (who thinks your only choice is an abortion) for over 20 years. Dude, if you don’t love me enough to wrap it up, you don’t love me enough. And I don’t care if you tell me you’ve been fixed. Wrap it up and I’ll happily provide and use the back up sponge/insert/spermicide.
if you want me to keep my laws off your body, keep your hands out of my pocket when you refuse to do your job.
Because the follow up is – if our children are disposable, who’s next? Nancy has already proven our infirm and disabled are meaningless when she took the money set aside for them.
Our elderly? Oh you know that’s on the chopping block. Anytime social funds run short, our elderly are the ones cut first. They’re the most expensive. My parents both draw social security and combined they pull $1000.00 less than what I make.
Obama made no bones, every time he wanted something, he held up Social Security and military pay until he got it.
Some leader, eh? And you talk about Trump being ‘childish’. At least he didn’t stop the funds our elderly so desperately needed! That is evil personified.
I’m wandering. My bad.
Under Trump, we’ve had more people employed, making more money, business growth out the wahzoo, job growth. Lowest unemployment ever. EVER! Even now, our economy is bouncing back from Covid.
Pulled us out of treaties we should have never been involved in. The Paris Treaty? Everyone’s pollution going up except ours and ours is going down, but we’re so awful for having withdrawn from a treaty that isn’t treating everyone fairly. The WHO. Why are we paying WHO so much more than China and china’s population is so much bigger than ours? Why did WHO cover up COVID when it came out of the borders and why is the head of WHO not a doctor, but an Ethiopian Communist Politician?
When Trump closed the borders in February or March? Why did Nancy and DeBlahsio call him a xenophobe and go dancing in chinatown to prove there wasn’t a problem? And then when Europe followed suit, he didn’t do enough.
It’s a no win.
A few months back, I asked several friends from various corners of my life who I knew had different political beliefs than I for intelligent adult back and forth. See, I believe if you surround yourself with the same like-minded people and refuse to look at other POV’s – you stagnate. You don’t grow as a person. You lose touch with others.
I overheard a conversation between my son and several of his similar friends. You know spawn is an Aspie and he has 5 friends, similar ages, similar levels of PDD who live in various areas of the country. He’s the only Conservative. But I heard this conversation and I was humbled by the adultness and saneness of it. They didn’t argue, they didn’t judge, they accepted they were looking at the same car accident from different angles and they respected each others different opinions. The conversation was mind-blowing as they accepted, acknowledged their different POVs. They discussed options of feed back, what can WE do as a Aspie Community to change things and make us get along better.
So embolden with the thought that if my son could have a respectful conversation with Aspie melt downs I could too.
Except every person I approached brushed me off. I wasn’t asking for an argument. I wanted to know why you hate one – and your reasonings are: badman, orange man, baby, fascist (that I still haven’t figured out.) ooh and one on fb – but he’s creeepy! (that was her only response.
What is you don’t like?
He’s so creepy!
Did you not like your tax cut?
but he’s so creepy!
What would you like him to do?
He’s so creeeeeeeeeepy!
Okay and so is Biden, but I’m still asking…
Creeeeeeeeepy! Oh he’s just creepy!
Beam me up Scotty, No intelligent life here!
I finally wished her good night) and love the other that honestly has no redeeming qualities, unless you consider the government taking away stuff from someone else and just giving it to you! (some call it redistribution of wealth. Most call it theft.)
I was told over and over I wasn’t someone they wanted to talk to about that. I was in their teacher circle, their knitting circle, their fandoms circle, their writing circle, their healthier eating circle. I was to sit in that particular corner and NOT engage in any way, shape or form because my opinion wasn’t necessary or wanted. When they were ready to talk about the niche they placed me in, then they would let me know.
Well. That put me in my place I guess. Did I learn something? certainly. And it’s NOT the lesson they think i learned.
I do know this, I no longer wish to discuss it. No one is interested in my POV, respects my views, my experiences, my feelings. I can’t reciprocate if they won’t.
I’m tired of being lumped in with Nazis. I’m not one. Not one single Conservative I know of is a Nazi or a fascist or a Communist. HOwever I have liberal friends who post all over their social media – Fuck Conservatives. Fuck the Police. Fuck you Trump. Fuck anyone who supports Trump. If you support Trump, remove me from your list. You’re hateful, you belong in a cage, locked up, on the street! Fuck you! Don’t talk to me, don’t talk at all… YOU’RE NOT WORTHY!!!!
Who’s the hater here?
I didn’t survive Obama. I didn’t. And now, we’re getting ready to have that again. You understand that I am terrified. That is unless the Senate keeps its majority and then they’ll be the effective stop between what will be an abusive Presidency and an out of touch Congress. The supreme court is SUPPOSED to be non political and enact the law. we have 3 who won’t. They’ll vote for feelings.
Quite a few Congressional seats flipped to Conservative. EVERY ONE of them were women, people of color, or veterans. There is hope. 2 years from now, we’ll see.
More African Americans voted for Trump, the GOP presidential pick than any others since 1960. I have a friend who was Democrat her entire life and the last time, she voted for Trump. Why? Democrats promise, promise, promise and then don’t follow through. Promises broken. Where’s my help. Never comes. Promises made just to get our vote. Voted for Trump and their lives got better. When Donald Trump became president, I lived better. I was hoping to buy a newer car last summer. I figured I better wait until the quarantine was over. And then I got Covid and I figured I better wait until spring. Or summer.
And now this. I guess I better take care of the car I have. It’s only… 17 years old. At least Spawn has a car now and we’re not driving the wheels off mine.
I desperately need a new dining room table. We can’t on this one and I”ve nailed the legs back on 3 or 4 times. I’ve had it 24 years? It’s bowed and warped. Can’t think about that now… Maybe if I put a pretty table cloth on a card table….
chairs won’t hold anyone’s weight either.
I don’t have hope of the future under Biden. I give him 3 months, before Nancy uses her Amendment 25 to declare him incompetent and remove him so Kamala can become president. I saw you say – but maybe they’ve changed, it’s the past, they sound reasonable.
but their actions speak louder than words. And their actions are heinous.
Rumor has it Pelosi has visions of VP, except I recall when Nixon had to replace a VP, he chose and when Ford became president, he chose, not the Houses appointed one. My memory is vague. I should look it up.
But rumor also has it that Nancy might be losing her Speaker gavel because quite frankly, she’s been rather ineffective the last 4 years. And some will claim that’s the Senate’s fault, but many middle road Democrats know it’s because she put her special interests ahead of the people and spent the last 4 years trying to subvert the will of the people.
I don’t see growth of any kind, unless it’s the misery index and unemployment. That’s the only thing that grew under Obama and this little group is worse.
Shutting down the electoral college. Lovely. Then we’ll have a ‘true’ democracy, where the urban enclaves on the coast control everything and no one else has a say. 2 wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for lunch. You’ve worked hard to buy a bike because you and your wife have one car, 2 kids, and you work in opposite directions. This way with the bike, she can have the car and take the kids because they’re on her way and you can bike to work. Except you get home, take the bike out of the car and 2 neighbors walk up, say nice bike, and take it. And you can’t do anything because
THAT’S democrazy. Majority rule.
So as I hope you see, I’m terrified. I’m not wealthy. I’m not living it up – I’m making do. I’m paying my bills, keeping a roof over mine and my son’s head. We eat well. And we pay for it. We don’t go out much, we don’t take big vacations. We enjoy our life, with home fireworks, the occasional movie in the theater and trips to the beach. If Biden and Harris have their way, that will come to an end, unless the Senate keeps their majority. Every step I’ve made back to living a semi-normal life will come to end and I’ll be slung back into the absolute hell the vast majority of American’s lived in under Obama
Unaffordable healthcare.
Extremely high gas prices. Spawn wanted to meet his cousins on his father’s side this summer. They live up north – 15 hour drive – but if gas prices skyrocket, like the did under Obama, we can’t go. Higher taxes. I’ve lived it once. I won’t live it again.
And I’m sorry if that bothers someone who hasn’t had to live in it.
And notice, I didn’t mention Hunter’s laptop.
This is your blog and of course you can choose to post in frustration without editing your remarks. It is not my style for my blog, but it is your style for your blog. That is your choice.
Thank you for the 5,300-word response to my comment. I did take the time to read it and I can hear that you are very angry and also worried. I hope that things work out better than you believe they will.
I do, however, believe that much of what you wrote is not directed at me. I have never called Trump “a bad orange man”, “carrot head”, “big baby”. However, his character does matter, as he brings it to the fore in his Twitter rants, speeches, etc. and this influences his constituents and even influences other countries.
You state your opinions about the president-elect and vice-president-elect as if they were facts and I guess that is what you believe. I think it is very difficult to discern what the facts are in many cases, as there has been propaganda, probably on both sides. There is no point in arguing back and forth on any of it.
I’m sorry you were not able to find anyone to have an adult conversation with you about politics. But I myself will not have a political debate with you. As you say, I live in another country, albeit one that is heavily influenced in many ways by what goes on in your country. I wish that weren’t so, but it is.
My point in commenting was to say how shocked I was by the language you used and the name-calling. I have never in my life called anyone a “whore”. Maybe that’s the way you talk. However, I would be surprised if you would tolerate your son (or your students) calling a woman a “whore”. I would suspect that if your son and his friends managed to have a civil discussion, it was likely because none of them on either side resorted to name-calling.
Well, as you couldn’t be bothered to read what I wrote, it’s kinda pointless to try to discuss it. So I’ll be brief.
First off, I find it extremely offensive that a ‘friend’ flat up tells me NOT to talk politics on her blog. She’s not interested in hearing different POVs. That’s fine however, for her to feel entitled enough to come to mine and spout bullshit about ‘conspiracy theories’ and using unreliable and extremely biased ‘fact checkers’ – no respect there. I don’t lie – and people can go look it up themselves.
I voted for a message of hope. I voted for a person who has proven he can rebuild an economy. I voted for a person who puts Americans first. Yes, he crass, yes, he doesn’t talk pretty. He spent 4 years not only fighting for us, but fighting a Congress that did nothing and had no agenda but to bring him down because he wasn’t their girl.
I voted against a message of fear and loathing. I refuse to vote for someone who for 48 years has done everything to sell us out. He was VP for an administration who destroyed our economy, made us RUGS to North Korea, China, and Iran. I voted against a man who is not nice, who coined the termed ‘borked’ because while in the Senate and in charge of Supreme Court Justice hearings, what he did to Robert Bork was nothing short of slanderous. Same with Clarence Thomas. At least Clarence told him what he put people through was NOT worth the job. He didn’t just go after the justice – he went after their families! Why would anyone vote for that?
The last 2 weeks before the election, my inbox was filled with desperate Liberals – just this one Zee. Turn your back on your integrity, you character. What you know is right and vote for Biden. Because if Trump wins, there will be more violence.
Sounds like a threat to me. Or the few who openly attacked me – a friend I’ve been friends with for years. We’ve knitted together, had dinner at each other’s house. Years. He knew I was Conservative, but 2 weeks ago he not only filled my PM with obscenities but went so far on my wall and cursed me like I was filth! ANd the sad thing is he’s on SSI and he refused to acknowledge that his girl Nancy ROBBED every person of SSI 2.1 Billion dollars to pay for an impeachment she knew wouldn’t get through the Senate.
I remember very well what it was like for 8 years under Obummer and I do NOT want Obummer 2.0. Within weeks after he took office, all of our lives went to hell in a handbasket. I lost my job because of the ridiculous amounts of restrictions and taxes on people. 5 years. And when I finally went back to work, my health insurance sky-rocketed, it was still hard. It wasn’t until Trump became president and began making everyone’s lives better. Stupid restriction and regulations, gone.
You know, little cute AOC is making lists. Lists of Trump supporters so the Progressives can dox them, make sure they loose their jobs and never work again, because they didn’t vote for Joe. So much for the country of the free.
She’s makin’ a listCheckin’ it twiceGonna find out whose a Communist or niceAOC is coming to town.
We’re not going to agree, so let’s just say – we’ll agree to disagree. I know what I’ve lived through. I know which side I would prefer to live on and that’s what I’m doing. No lies, no conspiracies. just the truth.
I am genuinely confused now. Was this comment meant for someone else? I don’t understand.
I definitely read what you wrote. Out of respect for the time you had taken to write the response, I took the time to read it word for word. As I said in the comment, “Thank you for the 5,300-word response to my comment. I DID take the time to read it and I can hear that you are very angry and also worried. I hope that things work out better than you believe they will.” That was a genuine response to what your wrote, hoping that your life will not be impacted in the way you fear.
I have considered myself to be a ‘friend’ and I have tried to support you during COVID and other tribulations. I’m confused because I have never told you not to talk politics on my blog. Do you have me confused with someone else or was this comment intended for someone else, perhaps? Other than the quite civil discussion IMO about Aunt Jemima, I don’t believe you and I have ever discussed anything that could be considered political before. And as I said in my first comment, I would have been interested to read a post that discussed the policy issues. However, I don’t want to have an in depth political discussion with you because I live in Canada and, as you say, I don’t live there. It is not because you are a Conservative, which was definitely known to me.
I did not “spout bullshit about ‘conspiracy theories’ and using unreliable and extremely biased ‘fact checkers’”. Again, I think you either have me confused with someone else or this comment was intended for someone else.
Of course you should have voted in the way that your conscience and beliefs told you to. That is how democracy works.
As I said, I am very confused by your comment and can only assume it wasn’t actually meant for me.
You are correct. My apologies. Really, sincerely, I completely misread. I should read things when I’m exhausted (insomnia) and multi-tasking (on hold forever with the pulmonologist who dropped the ball on some necessary testing and deciding what was for dinner with my son). and then answering with misconceptions over 12 hours later. I was wrong. I apologize.
All right. Thank you. I hope you are getting better with the new meds and that you get the testing sorted out. Hope you get some sleep!
Still having insomnia. I have a return to work date finally – just after Thanksgiving. If I could just get into a night routine, that would just be the icing on the cake
I do understand that you are disappointed and angry, Zee. Your candidate has lost, and that is a disappointment, and any change in political direction due to a new party in power, comes with a uncertainty, which some people react to with anger. (I can’t tell you how often I have felt angry and disappointed after yet another election that *my* party has not won.) You are extremely loyal – a characteristic that I *personally* have very much appreciated in you (you know why), so I absolutely get your disappointment.
And while I am politically of a different opinion than you, I am NOT here to argue with you or to shit on your TL. You can absolutely write what you want. My reaction to your post is – Why the vitriol with which you express your frustration? It just makes it very hard to have a meaningful discussion when the discourse is tainted by polemics. You have listed a great many points in response to Sue, and what I take from it is that you fear the worst. I won’t (and can’t) argue against any of that; I simply don’t know enough about American politics in general and the situation where you are in particular. I’ll just ask this – how about the benefit of the doubt? Let’s see where Biden is gonna go. He is hardly a left-wing extremist.
I’ve never said a word about Brexit because I don’t understand it. So scoot over, my friend! Plenty of room in that boat!
First off – Biden hasn’t won. That’s the big trigger! The media here – which is wretched biased to the Left – is trying trying to call it. They can’t. That’s the Electoral College’s job and they won’t call it until after all the recounts are finished ( and yes, the big swing states, including Georgia ARE being recounted. There has been a lot of proven (videotapped) tampering with ballots and ‘issues’ with equipment. They are also waiting for overseas ballots and provisional ballots – which take weeks sometimes. It’s a very close race, although some wouldn’t like to believe that. I was reminded of that this morning, so I’m feeling much better than I was when I posted this – and I was extremely frustrated! I have a very active social media that politics from all sides are welcome and rage and in the last 3 days, I have been inundated with such hate from so-called friends. I don’t ever unfriend over politics but…
Biden has already published his executive order list that he plans to post immediately upon his supposed inauguration. He’s slinging us right back into the crap Obama had us in – things that destroyed our economy. Destroyed businesses. We are recouperating for the 2nd time since Trump took office and went to work for us. Great economic boom until Covid (and he didn’t shut us down – mayors and governors did. ) The economy is booming again, and Biden has already said he will destroy it. Things that cause high unemployment, unaffordable insurance, incredibly steep gas prices, shutting down the petroleum industry, fracking. I have family and friends who work in the industry in Kentucky, West Virginia. They’re terrified. I was unemployed for 5 of those 8 years and when I was employed, we could barely afford to live. The things our Left Wing politicians post openly on their Twitters terrify me and that’s the biggie. Yeah, I’m scared, not because I’m afraid of what might happen, but because we know what’s going to happen.
I really didn’t expect anyone to respond. Maybe an oooooooookay. I would think people would know my political leanings and would understand an ‘Aaaaaaaargh’ moment. My bad. Many have said – let’s give Biden a chance. Sweeties, we’ve been giving him a chance for 48 years (I know I typed 38 years, that was wrong. 48. 48 years he’s been in office) And what has he accomplished in 48 years? I think he’s had enough chances. Kamala decimated San Francisco when she was District Attorney. Just destroyed the black community when she targeted a specific group of people. And she brags about how she got her first DA job. What are we teaching our girls? Yes you too can sleep your way into higher places. That’s just wrong on so many accounts. Is our worth based on how well we give head?
I have yakked too long. I think I might be overdue for a loooooooong break. It’s been a hell year and perhaps I’m just massive stressed.
Thank you for the understanding shoulder and trying to understand what was eating me.
LIght-years- opposite beliefs and life style choices are yours in front of Richard Armitage’s. How can you still follow him? How can’t you ask yourself questions? Facing such an ideological great chasm, gap, I’ll be second-guessing myself all day anyway. How can you stay blind minded paralysed? He is not a muscles addition… robot.
I meant to answer this earlier but problems with insomnia got me.
I’ve seen this in the past – your political beliefs are so different….how can you follow him, appreciate him? to be honest, his political belief from mine is much closer than my political beliefs with a lot of my friends. i manage to get along well enough with most of them (well at least until this election) so why should I not be able to enjoy his work?
And that asked, let’s expand it Must one be a homosexual in order to enjoy the work of a homosexual?
Must one be a person of color in order to enjoy and appreciate the work of another person of color?
Must one be a transsexual in order to enjoy or appreciate the work of another transsexual.
Must one be special needs to enjoy the works of those with special needs?
Must one be from Fuji to enjoy the works of those from Fuji.
Can only women appreciate other women’s work?
Are we really that restrictive? Have we painted ourselves into that corner.
A few years ago when I came out as a Conservative, there was a huge brohaha within the fandom. You wouldn’t believe the HATE I go from people. How dare I? A Conservative and a Christian how dare I enjoy Richard’s work? He would hate me!!!
I wondered how they would knew that? Did they know him personally? Has he sent a message to his handlers that leaked – God I hate Conservatives. I wish they would leave my fandom!
Yeah, our politics are different. Thing is, unlike Liberals here – he just doesn’t TALK about ‘helping’ people. He does. He has heart and we’ve seen not only with the agencies he supports, but helps people he sees, like the every day person living rough, living on the street. Liberals here are lots of talk and no walk!
He’s not a Nazi… his politics are a bit Left of mine, but believe it or not I typically get along with people who don’t agree me.
Most of the time.
If there is friction, it typically comes from elsewhere. Notice, I’ve said NOTHING when others go off on their blog. That’s their opinion. It’s okay. It’s their blog! IF you can’t be yourself and discuss things that are important to you on your own blog, then where can you?
I think the shocking thing is here I typically don’t. I don’t usually talk about it here. I talk about it elsewhere. Sadly THAT platform is cracking down on anything Conservative. The Conservative voice there is being shut down. No freedom of speech there.
I’m rather shocked at the response here (except Guylty’s, tbh) and after a good night’s sleep and a round robin with some Conservative friends, I’m feeling a bit better.
I know there are people who don’t agree with me politically and that’s okay. Like I mentioned somewhere here, my son has Asperger’s and he has a handful of friends who are likewise wired. He’s the only conservative, the others lean to various degrees to the Left. THey have the sanest conversations. No finger pointing. NO yelling. No ‘damn you’s (which I got from plenty of my friends) there was no monkey feces flung. Just a sane discussion where they respected their friendship and everyone else’s opinions. I am humbled and thankful my son has those kind of friends where they can discuss things most adults can’t with spitting I would have like to have had that with a few people, but that’s not going to happen. What will be, will be. It isn’t over yet.
I am hearing you but I am not able to listen to your cacophonic, dissonant answer. Only listening to musics can help me in that case.
Okay, I”ll try again.
How can I appreciate Richard when our politics are so different? Easy. I’m open minded. As long as he’s not a Nazi or a pedophile or abuses people, I’m pretty easy going.
This summarize of your arguments remaind a recap that lets me voiceless, aghast
remainds
Hi Zee, taking a break from work when I stumbled onto this and had a few thoughts/observations:
(1) We are not on the same page politics wise;
(2) You are way more religious than I ever was;
(3) You are not as open minded, easy going as you think you are.
RE: Thought (3) I _too_ suffer from the same delusion and want/try to be a better person, but I epic fail most of the time.
After I listened to Trump brag how he likes to grab women by their pussy and hearing him say he would date his daughter if he wasn’t her father. (shudder)
Will openly admit my closed mindedness; I _stopped_ listening to anything he had to say, before/after running for president. Can’t, just can’t.
That is not the same as condemning a woman for her consenting adult sexual history. Even if she admits it publicly. I don’t care. Not that the other person(s) involved in that history are blameless by their actions.
There is a difference between sexual predator and those who use sex for advancement. The first is criminal, the second distasteful.
Never liked Biden, think he is yet another political creep, but my opinion was formed many years ago. OTOH, Biden has behaved more adult. Not heard his ‘grandpa grope’ label before. In future, will pay better attention. Maybe he has whatever brain disease you say he does, time will tell.
For any interested, THE GREAT HACK documentary on Netflix covers how one company in UK influenced the 2016 US elections. Some of those creeps, (Nigal Farage, UK and Steve Bannon, US) are still involved in our current politics.
THE GREAT HACK documentary mainly explains how Brexit was constructed. It also easily explains how the uninformed public (majority of us) are manipulated.
Please don’t be mad at my response. I think you are an amazingly talented writer and awesome educator. I found you through RA fandom but quickly learned you do so much good in the world that needs to be done. I encourage you to continue to hone your talents because I value your contributions.
I’m not mad. I totally understand difference of opinion.
Everybody is all over Trump saying he would grab women by the pussy. Trust me. I’ve heard worse coming out of a middle school boys locker room. Trump said he would do it, Bill Clinton DID do it.
Biden has this problem with sniffing womena nd children. He also has a problem groping children on camera. It’s beyond awkward.
I think I’m pretty open minded. Or I just let people who don’t agree with ramble on. It’s their opinion and they have a right to it. Doesn’t really matter what I think about it.
I look at accomplishments when I look at Trump. He’s not a perfect man – but he does know how to rebuild an economy. he knows how to save us money. He knows a bullshit treaty when he sees it. Under his administration, I’ve made a lot of personal gains. Gas prices down, taxes down, the cost of goods down. Lowest unemployment ever!
Biden was part of an administration that that fucked us up the ass without the benefit of lube. Sky-rocketing costs of living, Sky-rocketing costs in health insurance – mine went from 69.00 a month to damn near 500.00 a month PLUS deductibles and only paying a percentage of what goes over the deductible. Unemployment out the whazoo. You’ll remember that for 5 years out of 8, I was unemployed. I lost everything. My home, my car… my retirement destroyed. THe other 3 years, I barely survived. Life was beyond tough. I blame Obama.
Biden is already signing up for those ridiculous UN bullshit moneygrabs. He has dementia. The boy can’t string a sentence together. Not only that, he’s combative. Calling a young person a – what was it – ‘a stone faced pony soldier.’ do you have any idea how she felt when he said that to her on camera? She says she was humiliated. Threatening to fight an elderly man because he questioned him. According to to Biden – I’m a chump. That’s right, so according to the Left, I’m a Despicable Chump! Right now, the right is taking bets on how long before Nancy and Co retire him. And the you know what?
We get a woman further left than Bernie, who slept her way into her first political position and who targeted young black first time non-violent offenders (usually possession of cocaine) for life imprisonment.
Also, the only bill Biden ever wrote and passed his 48 years in public officie was a crime bill targeting young black men.
Now here’s the cool part – while everyone (including me) have been so focused on the Presidential race, the following has happened and Democrats better wake the hell up.
Congress LOST seats in the House. GOP didn’t get a majority, but there are enough to wreck the plans of Pelosi and Co. There are plenty of disgruntled moderate Democrats to side with the Right and that’s where TRUE compromise will go.
Pelosi will probably NOT regain her gavel. Granny Boxwine needs to retire anyway and eat her gourmet ice cream. The reason why she won’t is because she couldn’t control 4 little girls who have no business being in political office. 3 ran on ‘Impeach the motherfucker’ ‘give us our crumbs back’ and ‘Bash Israel.’ The 4th is whining like a 2 year old because the GOP exposed her for being a hard core Socialist and hating cops. I have bad news for her- we already knew that! In short, most of America is NOT on board with far left Progressive politics.
Democrats haven’t taken the Senate (still have that runoff here in Georgia)
GOP won a lot of lower levels as well.
In the meantime, we have those few progressives – led by Elizabeth Warren – who are so far out of touch. They are saying it’s ime to end bipartisenship. Time to skip Congress and just have a select few (all progressives) decide the law and everything else. We get no say. Nope. Starting with the patents for prescriptions. Gone. Doesn’t. The Medical community is no longer in charge of that, it will be given to a committee with the medical experience (kinda like WHO) to be in charge of dispersing it.
Sounds like a dictatorship to me, doesn’t it?
Don’t know if you knew but Sir Guy’s Ghost now has 3 chapters up!
Girl, I don’t want to talk politics with anyone. I just didn’t think it was cool to call someone a whore for her history with consenting adults. (Even if morally unacceptable in my wheelhouse.) Especially when you are defending someone who is, by his own words, a predator. Which is why I repeated what _he_ said he does and also wants to do to his daughter. That is where I made my judgement and closed my mind to him.
I suspect, like you, nothing anyone says will change my opinion of him.
⚔ So let’s talk about Guy ❤️ and yes, I read the 3rd chapter and love it! 😊Thank you!!! Please write more.
Well we’ll just agree to disagree. I’ve never unfriended or gone to their space to tell them off because I disagreed with them politically. (Difference between discussing and telling off) Everyone has a right to their opinion. Including you. And including me.
I’m not telling you off Zee. Or at least it was not my intention for it to come out that way.
I don’t know Harris at all. Not defending her for her actions as much as questioning anyone’s right to shame a woman for who she had consenting sex with.
My personal strengths have never been in writing. I’ve obviously communicated my thoughts to you poorly.
I am truly sorry if what I’ve said in your space has come across as hostile or telling you off. 💕
No, you’re good. Part of me wishes I had kept my mouth shut, because I’m bringing a LOT of discord from other places here. But that’s the problem. The Left talks; the right brings the coffee and is expected to not say a word, giving the Left the feeling everyone agrees with them when they don’t.
See, that’s the problem. The Left communes with the Left and The Right communes with the Right. There is no compromise, no meeting in the middle. It’s like when the Senate confirmed ACB, Schumer was screaming – you better not do that or you’re going to pay!
This would be from the side that after 4 years of refusing to accept the results of the people’s will, and have screamed – RESIST – now want to unite and just accept it.
In the words of that fabulous actor James Woods – fuck no!
Since you don’t KNOW Kamala and are defending her consenting sexual actions – that’s not quite correct. It’s actually the casting couch gone political.
Imagine, you’ve been with a business for a long time. You’ve done your homework, you’ve done your school, you’ve worked hard, over-time, put personal time aside to put more time into the business because there is a big promotion coming up and you’re due. You’ve earned it, you’ve worked for it, you’re led to believe by your boss, that it’s yours when it comes open.
except some sweet young thing waltzes in, gives the boss a blow job or two and takes your promotion, without a by your leave.
And then brags about it. And is made your boss.
How would you feel? And what does this tell our daughters? That they are only worth their bodies? You’ll get far if you swallow? Or it’s okay to barter what you want with sex. I think we can do better by our daughters.
The worst part, is the job she blew her boss for was District Attorney. She decimated San Francisco. She targeted young black males on first time drug charge – usually possession of pot or coke or meth – and landed them with life imprisonment. Not whites, or wealthy… young black men who would do better with community service, drug counseling. No. She put them in jail for life. Sounds racist to me.
She continued the trend when she became AG.
What has set me off is a few months back, I approached several friends and acquaintances with severe TDS – I mean the same ‘omgbadorangeman’ ‘how stupid’ etc etc without saying why they hated him so much, if we could have an adult conversation as to why they hate him so much.
Every one of them said no. I was told my opinion didn’t matter, they didn’t want to discuss it and I especially wasn’t to come to their place to discuss it. they liked their opinion and they didn’t want anyone messin’ with the waters and talking with anyone who thought different. I’m a knitting friend only, a fandom friend only, a cooking friend onlyThat’s where I was put.
So it infuriated me (and it’s not you, k?) when one of the more vocal – no, know your place! – came to my space (and several did this and not just here) to just… how dare I?
I got PM’s in my box at FB – Zee, just this one time, ignore your integrity. Vote for Biden because if you don’t, the violence will escalate.
Yeah, ’cause Conservatives don’t riot.
So, I’m kinda done here. The main reason I don’t discuss politics, is because I’m not going to change my mind. This year was different. I’ve got stuff going on in my private live that I’m not about to discuss here. Stressin’ my ass out. And that’s not an excuse. It’s a fact.
So while I could have said what I said better – Biden has dementia and will be out in 3 to 6 months, maybe a year, leaving the most radical Socialist as president, putting our country back in the same depressing hole it was in when Barry left office – and Kami slept her way there – I’m… done. Not changing my mind. Done. My muses are like… not speaking, not because they’re mad, but because I’m angry and can’t hear Make sense? Probably not.
Just not talking about this any more.
