If you are searching for "happy talk", look elsewhere.
I believe that there is one over-arching question that most of us are trying mightily to ignore, but which insinuates itself into every other question we encounter: are we, as a nation, in the process of ripping up and throwing away all that our predecessors have fought, bled and died to secure?
We seem to be at a point where compromise is impossible because that word has been redefined by the right-wing extremists to mean capitulation. In essence, they scream at us: "You want to compromise? Fine! Given us everything we demand!"
I fear that the reality of the danger we face and what may need to be done to save us is so frightening, so distasteful, so unlike anything we thought Americans would ever experience, that we are eagerly allowing ourselves to be distracted by bumpersticker memes and non-issues.
I am an old man. I have already accepted that my "golden years" and a retirement for which I worked and saved my entire life are gone. I have to fight tears when I acknowledge that, thanks to people I now consider mortal enemies, we will spend another Thanksgiving alone; another Christmas made painful by memories of the hugs and kisses and laughter that we may not live long enough to share again.
Ask me what drastic measures I am willing to take to defeat the traitors who divide us and my answer is: any and all. For now, I resolve to survive another day.

What the hell are you talking about??
Just a bitter old man who pushed their family away because of his intollerance and blaming everyone else for his failures in life.

Reading the rest of the thread offers no insight into what the hell he's talking about.
DUmp is super boring today. They're talking about anything else other than the Biden colossal ****up. The weather. The fact that dementia joe is getting a booster. The ubiquitous covid crap.

And people like Flatus are the lead rippers and trash-tossers.

Boy, they can't even be happy with success (holding the Presidency and both Houses of Congress, not to mention 95% of media). No wonder they're in a constant state of misery, even more so when Republicans are in charge. I enjoy their pain.

The USA becoming what the Atticus primitive would have it become would need to be renamed, because it would no longer be the USA as outlined by the current Constitution. That he and those like him can’t figure that out isn’t my problem, it’s theirs.
