I’ve been predicting a blue wave, because I believe you and so many others can and will break through. Yet I read the polls and nobody seems to be paying attention and all they care about is the price of groceries and brown people.
How can he still be polling at a point or so around Biden.
What do we need to do? Are we preaching to the choir? It is frightening how impoverished intellectually the voters are!
As a Vietnam Vet I'm at the end of my patience and forbearance with these people. There is the axiom of diminishing returns but it appears its lying will never stop. After a week at Normandy, how can these fascist swine continue to lie when the lies go over the top. Yes, there is no bottom, no critical thought or empathy. Just utter, willful ignorance. As I watched the ceremonies at the landing beaches I didn't see or hear one of the fascist congresspeople, thank Dog. Many of Steve's readers have probably walked through the American cemetery at Colville. If your knees haven't buckled at the site then something's wrong. It is a gutpunch at the entry into that very hallowed ground knowing these guys had their lives taken from them. They gave their Last Full Devotion and yet are mocked.
For me there should be an imperative: that all Americans should walk through that cemetery and remember that the lives lost gave successive generations the greatest opportunity which is freedom. Currently we are a nation suffering from amnesia. I'm exhausted from all the violent rhetoric and violence around the globe. I'm gettin' too old for this shit. Thank you for your indulgence.
