I used to think we were the country that elected Barack Obama, but turns out we are the country who can’t vote for either of 2 extraordinary women to embrace the criminally embarrassing, tacky, ignorant Donald Trump
Yes, yes, yes. Thank you. I feel the same. Just look where their wrong ideas, philosophies and lies have gotten us. White supremists have failed. That's it.
Separation of church and state was, and is, by design, a necessarily paramount construct. Just as is delusion vs reality.
To Mr Rather, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: We love, respect, and admire you for always standing up for democracy; truth to power; reminding people not to remain complacent for then we become complicit; and the solid reminder:
Walter, your post is spot on. Using just one of your quotes: "You obviously don't want inclusion because you keep erasing the contributions of Black men and Black women and immigrants." This is truth. George Orwell's 1984 come true. Eradicating vital history.
And what I can't stand, too, as a former English professor and a book lover and citizen is the banning of books, especially those that make people uncomfortable, which is just about every piece of excellent literature. And of course, if a book isn't about white men and their problems, the book does not have value to these racist, misogynist individuals.
And, 100% - the banning of books, literacy, arts, humanities, science and formal education, is abysmal at best. Ahh, but it is a method employed to keep people 'stoopid', hence more malleable and easier (in their supremacist minds), to control.
Absolutely true! I have had so many of these conversations. And you’re right - I have to laugh or just shake my head so I don’t start screaming or throwing everything in sight!
They want you to engage with them to increase their visibility and make you mad. Don't do it.
As they say in England, the only really true way to deal with these people is send them to Coventry- ignore them and pretend they don't exist. If you aren't listening, they won't talk.
Thank you, Walter. Let's laugh so as not to cry. Maintain the well placed rage, and allow that to be the fuel to light the sparks to empower, encourage, and motivate intelligent leadership.
I do agree and have had to deal with many.I continue to see how pitifully lost and weak they are.Many never made it through high school and sadly are learning disabled like trump.These sad fearful of truth and reality AND very fearful of living from the heart have come more out of hiding due to the Trump connection.Real power comes from the heart...not booze etc.Please forgive me for venting.♥️💪
Totally agree, also agree with the christian supremacy. I avoid organized religion. I don’t need temples and performances that also come with indoctrination and ignorance.
We definitely have a white supremacy problem. For some I think it’s so ingrained they don’t realize what they are saying- example a friend called
Her adopted stepdaughter “beaner” I was appalled. My MIL calling a well known and hall of fame running back - That little black boy.
We, myself included have to start making people more aware.
Walter,
Try replacing "white" supremacisy, with "Christian" supremacy everywhere you use it.
That has a rainbow of adherants, although "whites" still reign supreme here as will.
Thanks again.
You did some needed venting for me this morning.
Fred
Exactly. White, Christian supremacy.
I agree.

"Maybe it had little to do with valid elections, this time?"
Quoting a friend
I agree!! False Flags🩸

Good points!
Have you read, "The Manchurian Candidate"?

And your points hit the mark exactly.
I haven't read The Manchurian Candidate yet. It's on my to-read list.

So very true!
In a word, patriarchy. The bite of that dog keeps on bleeding.

Better than competent ones, I guess!
