It is demoralizing and disheartening. As an American, I am struggling to accept that this is where we are. Misogyny is real and very much alive in the US, but it's not the only problem. As a person who has always been intensely curious, I'm shocked to realize how the 1/3 of our population who voted for Trump could be so gullible. Roughly another 1/3 didn't vote at all. That level of disengagement is almost worse. I don't know how the situation will end. I don't see disinformation going away. If anything, it's going to get worse. The best that I can hope for is that other nations learn from what happened to us and take the steps needed to protect themselves.

Huzzah!

I miss the site too. Good times. Good snark. On Threads these days. Harris/Walz came to town a couple weeks ago-it was a blowout. I had to work but all my friends went.... Feeling optimistic!

Lately, I'm finding myself humbled by the many consequences of my own stupidity, so that's been helpful... 🤣🤣🤣

I am so sorry, Kiki. Beloved pets bring so much joy and sorrow. 💔

The only FB posts re: covid. Probably cleaned up as there were plenty of the usual rw talking points, but nothing about C19 until he admits it's kicked his ass.

You aren't alone.😔♥️

I needed to read this today. Thank you. Also, you sound like a fine person.

The world is full of noxious people. Let's hope her 15 minutes of fame are over.

Wow! Wondering if anybody has made a documentary about people who've been left in limbo like this.

I still have two, one maybe not for much longer.

What a character!

This guy could understand everything I said to him. Fearless and way too smart. Paxton. Not gone a year yet. I cried so hard making the final call to the vet, I couldn't even talk. I am sorry for your loss, FG.

Oooo! First

Let's make Delta great again. If it rolls out now, it should help with the next election. Starting to see a rise in emboldened trumpkins hereabouts.

Thanks for supplying the evening's entertainment, DA!

Has the punchable face enhanced by facial hair. Must be an anti-vaxxer.

Would that we could....

A delight. Hubris, thy name is "Jeremy." (Or was it "Gary?" No, wait..."Jim-Bob?", Maybe it was "Jeb.") Whatever your name was, you lost bigly, and publicly, for all eternity. Ouch.)

I've heard of him. If the past 3 years have taught us anything, it's that some people prize their right to be unapologetically stupid.
