    Idk how long you’ve been here, but this is not normal. This is very wrong, and it’s disturbing how many people don’t see how far we’ve fallen. Politics has been an ever-present and disturbing part of our lives since 2016. It wasn’t like this before. But when an attention seeking narcissist entered the race, the media outlets decided to pounce upon his every worthless word, rather than ignoring him like the incompetent joke that he is. They gave him an outsized voice when he should have none, and he’s caused nothing but harm ever since.

    I don’t know what the future looks like from this day forward. It could end up being nothing more than a 4 year grift (or however many years clown show lives if less than 4), or it could end up being a serious challenge to our democracy. I’m not looking forward to it, but it is decided, so here we go.

    That said, I know a lot of refugees who came to this country 45-50 years ago and their lives & kid’s lives are immeasurably better than they would be in their home country. For reasons like that, I’ll always fight for what America represents. I’m hoping some day soon Americans remember our real ideals and start living them more truly.
