We have to live like we're dead just to make sure we don't set them off.

My feelings exactly. This should be an anonymous letter to editors... everywhere!!

I bookmarked it to read later, and I finally got around to it.

We know that feeling at our house. If someone’s pro-trump, he or she is lost.

She put her name to it and everything! …I wonder where she is living now, that brave soul!
For those of you who don’t know about The Villages, it is a large (I mean LARGE - over 170K residents), 98.5 %white, probably 98.5% republican. About 3% non native born.
The only news we hear about them is when a democratic resident attempts something like this.
During the last national election, one brave soul decorated his golf cart ( there are more golf carts than cars in the community) with all sorts of democratic slogans and signs.
That was unusual enough for news crews to go out and film him.

Mostly retired, white and Republican. All the screaming from clowns like them about voter fraud and there were, IIRC, two or three assholes from The Villages who were arrested for voter fraud. I’ll have to dig up the story.

AHA! Found it. Was more than three! Their convictions/guilty pleas didn’t come until this past December, from what it looks like.

ballot to vote for tsf.

In my post just above; #60. At the time of the news posting, 4 had either been convicted or pled guilty.

That's how I feel, too.

one of the greatest, most brilliant presidents ever - and we have to 'hide' because we elected him.

FUCK OFF, ASSHOLES!!!!!!

HE WAS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was said so right, I have done these things and I'm not sorry they ruined my trust so I safeguard my vote, and will vote with my one vote in Nov.

I can still relate to the sentiment, though.

I'd rather declare the car broken and collect and buy a new one, anyway.

Well, you never see the BLUE tsunami that sends your shi* to the bottom.

Well stated. All the BS the maga’s spewed about Covid/vaccines ended up costing this country thousands of lives. I will stay off social media (Facebook) and avoid the people I used to have conversations with in my own family and circle of acquaintances due to the toxicity you described better than I could.

pandemic, but is, alas, still pertinent. Would that it were not so.

I’ve lost respect for friends and family who support maggots, their values are not values I can respect or forget!

He mocks them, he insults them, he ignores them, and they keep on sucking and licking him as if he just gave them a million bucks. Then they send him their money.

wash away the mess

After the 2020 election, we thought that the Trump/MAGA cult was finished - and that most of the cultists would finally get a clue.

But here we are, dealing with it AGAIN for the 3rd election in a row.

Thank you for posting.

Any MAGAt reading it would be oblivious to the message, and only take away "We did it! We own the libs!" They are lost forever.

And we know, even if Republicans don't, that Trump has NOT been worth it.

===============

Thanks for posting! MANY, MANY of us "out here" feel this way. We've had to become suspicious of our family, friends, and neighbors out of distrust and fear. We're concerned that our political leanings will cause us to be not only criticized, but attacked. We fear the Maga-Madness that has invaded our society. We can't put pro-choice, pro-Biden, pro-LGBTQ flags, banners, stickers on our windows, on our cars, in our yards. without fearing right-wing retribution.
We watch our fellow Americans daily swallowing b.s. about the state of our country while simultaneous seeing things improve, gasoline prices going down or remaining stable, the economy generally picking up.
And worst of all, we endlessly witness far too many "good Americans," who like the "good Germans" of the 1940's, worshiping, revering, praising, and financing a felonious criminal who appears to be hell bent on destroying Democracy, by denigrating, and demeaning those who still believe in liberty and justice for all.
To borrow, and somewhat mangle, a quote: Is this the way the world ends; not with a bang but a whimper?"

I know so many people including myself who has lost friends.Most of my family are Democrats but I have some in-law relatives in Arizona who are maga and one sister in law who is married to a maga and she is a liberal like her brother who I am married to. I wonder how she survives in that marriage! When I go there we just don’t talk politics so as not to cause fights. One ex brother in law used to called us the looney liberals from California. I’m sure he’s a major magaloon now!

I never liked him. Back in the early 1980s when I first started hearing and reading about him, he creeped me out. Maybe it was the godawful taste, the smug grin, the ego, or a combination of all that and more.

He had an ick factor that has only worsened. YMMV.

Been there and done that.
Am there. Doing that.
MAGAts are the real Losers and Suckers.

Brilliant and accurate.

and not “from his basement” either.

Who’s sleepy now?

Except I'm not quite as charitable in my descriptions.

"because we don't want our houses burned down."
Uhh... make that "because we don't want you or your fellow maniacs burning our houses burned down because we "insulted" your orange monster god.

"We don't trust you."
Better: because you're a proven violent lunatic.

"We won’t be reaching out, and we won’t be mending fences. Its not up to us to apologize for the wounds you have gleefully inflicted upon us and our friends."
Truth: you're dead to me and I don't want you back in my life.


Yeah, I sound harsh. Good! Trust me on this: I use much more explicit language irl. I toned it down because some people seem to think that some good, old-fashioned, 4 letter words are worse than describing that thing accurately. I don't agree, but I can refrain from inflicting words on other people.

Magats are dangerous bullies. It's not safe to openly show support and it's not necessarily because they outnumber us. All it takes is one unhinged (and armed) magat to cause an issue.

This is the country we live in now, described perfectly.

I do not hope "Trump** was worth it." Instead, I hope tsf manages to destroy them.
