      Yet he looks like a scholar next to Trump’s 5th grade reading level drivel.

      I remember my first protest was against Iraq 2. I was 18. If I could go back in time and try to tell people what was happening now they’d have me committed.

          Thanks so much for this. It really puts my jumbled up thoughts of the past two weeks into words, but if I were intelligent and well read. Fantastic. I’m sharing it around Lemmy and to my friends who were just here.

            No problem. I’m researching “revolutionary optimism” to try to keep things in perspective. It’s not easy. We all need therapy now.
