Getting Harder & Harder To Deal With The Growing Ugliness.

The ugliness and disarray just gets worse every day. You would hope that we are better than that. It looks like we aren't. What is happening to the country is just so so unbelievable.

reconsider even voting or support repugs based on BS .
These are the people who will decide because most deplorables are a lost cause and most will not change thier repug support.
I hope I am wrong and people won't get fooled again or get even more nasty with the hate blitz

It's almost a hobby. I delve into thinking, philosophy, as a pastime. I am 63.

Over the years, I had considered, what truly distinguished Nazi Germany and the "good" Germans from anyone else at any time in world history. And why would it be impossible for facism to land here?

I believe we are seeing this mentality at work among trumpers and in the administration. Sadists. Greed hogs. Haters. And yes, even torturers and killers.I heard Kelly say he was brought in to the admin to "make the trains run on time." Wasn't this said about Hitler?

I can see them all as prison guards or final solution orderers.

Or at least only a short step away.

Actually, it was Mussolini. Another facist. Ref.

I remember once reading that in Germany in 1938 the pessimists went to NYC and the optimists stayed and went to Treblinka.

It’s too disgusting and ugly for me watch anymore. Dealing with my daily life and a very sick kitty is all I can focus on for the most part. This country makes me sick now. 🤢😷
