Yes, we're all fairly disappointed that it's come down to these 2 choices. But listen:
Biden could sneeze & explode into a cloud of moderate dust, & he'd still be a thousand times better president than the fascist orange rapist standing on stage with him.

Think about all the time people spent being afraid of Muslims, when the REAL terrorists in this country look like Payton Gendron.
You want to be afraid of someone? Be afraid of white male "conservatives."
I know Obama was far from perfect, but being able to listen to a leader who is a decent human being is such a breath of fresh air.
It feels foreign.

Honestly, there is still a part of me that feels drawn toward a "don't give up on men" or "I'm one of the good ones" reaction, but from a purely numbers/odds angle, it's probably better to just steer clear of us.
Mostly I'm just sorry for the way things are.💔
It's never a drag queen.
It's never a person who is trans.
It is mostly white men, & they ALMOST ALWAYS claim to be a christian... AKA the core of the republican party.
Worried about "groomers?" Want to keep your kids safe? Keep them away from men in church.

What's most interesting to me about the Matt Chandler situation is watching the literal judgiest people on the planet fall all over themselves to suddenly recall the whole "judge not lest ye be judged" part of Jesus' message when a hero of the patriarchy is threatened.
Dems: "The president has shown he is trying to undermine the upcoming election."
Republicans: "WE SHOULD WAIT AND LET THE ELECTION DECIDE THIS!!!"

They want to close EVERY Govt. Department whose job is helping citizens or keeping us safe.

I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.
As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.
What do you know: Florida's Michelle Salzman calls for the complete extermination of the Palestinian people, &—just like that—her tweets go protected.

So God doesn't kill people because they're awful. Marsha Blackburn is proof of that.
That said, when talking about the death of Gwen Shamblin Lara, can we not refer to her as a "Christian diet guru?" Call her what she was: The leader of a high-control, abusive weight loss cult.
When you look up who these horrible people are, you can bet that close to 100% of the time, they're going to have some pro-Trump stuff on their FB page.

Adam Schiff is hailing Alexander Vindman as an American patriot.
How patriotic is it to badmouth and ridicule our great nation in front of Russia, America’s greatest enemy?
I’m old enough to remember when Howard Dean’s presidential campaign fell apart because he got excited & yelled a little too loud.
Trump’s out here praising Putin, praising Kim Jong Ill, & now he’s talking about how great & wonderful HANNIBAL LECTOR is.
What are we even doing?!?
This is bizarre even by Trump standards. Now in Wildwood, Trump was lauding fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter.
Trump: "Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man."
Years ago, Republicans were told they can't say the N-word anymore, & they have been mad about it ever since.

Using one's strength to defend & protect others is not toxic masculinity, you dimwit. It is just something that decent humans do... Male & female.
The official GOP line is that these indictments are b/c of an abuse of power by angry, politically-motivated democrats, rather than the real reason: He committed many, many crimes.
The reason we've "never seen this before" is b/c we've never had such a POS criminal as president.
Ted Cruz reacts to the Georgia grand jury indictments: "I'm pissed...We've never once indicted a former president...This is disgraceful...It is an abuse of power by angry Democrats who've decided the rule of law doesn't matter anymore."
