Election day 2024

[Byrd]

You’re overthinking and bought into the MSM Propaganda. You and your family will be fine. That’s the thing about MAGA — we give a shit about our fellow humans! My prayers are with your family! 

I don't much care for the MAGA...uhm... regard for my young transgender grandson.  Or my hoping-to-be-married lesbian niece.  Or gay friends.  Or some of the homeless people I've met.  And my non-White friends are worried, particularly immigrants.

I know and like Republicans (I have some I dislike, of course) and I think the world of my co-judge at the election.  But their policies are sweeping us back to the days when I couldn't have a bank account and when people wouldn't hire me (science field) because of my gender.  

And Musk's "brace for hardships" statement (https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy...rcna177807) ... a billionaire doesn't feel the monthly bite of $3,000 in medicine (after insurance and discounts.)

It's a lot of little things, too... DeSantis getting rid of "liberal" professors (I was an adjunct professor) sounds a lot like a minor version of Chairman Mao's purge of intellectuals and others.  Tariffs are a bad idea (see Musk's statement above.) 

I am simply discouraged at the moment.  I know we'll all survive.
