A family member told me that he didn't understand how I, college-educated, was so blind to the real fact about how this country needs to go back to a white, masculine- controlled society, when he and 2 others, who were not so educated, could see the truth about how T*ump was saving us all. SMH.

I have a brother who actually told me that he DOES listen to and follow the news that reinforces what he believes (Fox) and that he only believes CNN (and others) when they have a "true" conservative on there who "tells it like it is" and puts the liberals in their place. SMH.

I have always excused my three older siblings' anger and bitterness (about almost everything) because we had all been mistreated as children. Now, with them supporting every sh*tty thing Trump does, I believe they are just mean, miserable POS's.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Hold on to your butts …

Senator Wicker, grow a spine, please.

So glad to find a community of resisters. A close relative is deep into the cult and is planning on moving within a few blocks of me soon. I won't cut her out of my life though I am sorely tempted. Any advice, please share. She refuses to listen to anything that goes against her "news" sources.
