This is too much

I just saw on Dateline that Trump still has people working in the Gov. who are feeding him his enemy list from Washington Post or NYT. They talked about how Trump and Wilbur messed up and corrupted the census report too and if the Dems do not hurry and do something about the voting rights, we will lose this country. I have lost hope,while my sister is still bitter because her man lost and keeps saying how weak and old Biden is and can't keep up with Trump. She is annoying many of our family because she watches Fox and pretends she don't. She also watch the other OAN because she sent me a video of some of their nonsense and I deleted it. I am scared for our country but won't show it around her. I lost another friend who feels the election was stolen and Trump won and just makes me sick.

This one says Biden is socialist and has people not wanting to work because he is giving away all the money. I told her that Trump gave all the money to the rich an she has not called back because I do not think like she do. I do not even talk politics around them. They bring it up and I now will stay out and tell them to just agree to disagree. Just sick of all of it and fear for our country and Machin and Senima whatever her name is do not shape up. We do not have a lot of time. I think the HR1 is more important then the Infrastructure because the insurrection party is lead by their insurrection in chief. I may be alone, but I do not want us to lose our country to these Maga folks or we are screwed.

We have plenty of good socialism in this country.......... public libraries, public schools, police and fire departments, buses, teachers, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, airports, THE MILITARY, etc.

The list is endless.

I have only a sister living and thank God she and I are on the same page politically. We disagree on many things, mind you, but not on the important things. I don't know how I could maintain a close relationship if it were otherwise.


My sympathy to those of you struggling with the indoctrinated Trump-lovers.
