I just moved my 98 y/o Dad from FL to NC. Tonight, he turned to me and said, with great urgency, “I’ve got to get registered to vote right away! I need to vote against Trump!”
He fought on Saipan in WWII, and 80 years later he’s still pushing back against fascism. ❤️
Today I’m following everyone who appreciates Jimmy Carter, because I know these are my people. He is one of my greatest heroes.
I’m sick to death of hearing how he botched this or that. If he had gotten a second term, I believe we’d be living in a vastly better America today.

Hey MAGA,
If it’s the economy you’re concerned about, do some research. Ask Google to compare the economy under R and D presidents.
For almost 100 years, the US has done markedly better during democratic administrations.
