it's a win-win: wear mask (defying trump) or die (supporting trump)

Either way, Magats enable the "liberal" agenda.
Karma feels really good right now. This is delicious.

The war on democracy -- bigger than election 2020

There's another thread citing Bill Kristol's tweet about Trump's strategy being tied to voter suppression, executive privilege, foreign interference.....etc.

So then, why are we focusing on getting out the vote? It didn't it work in 2016 when Clinton got the popular count, but Trump got the white house.

Shouldn't we be focusing instead on the other factors working in Trump's favor?

How can we combat executive privilege and foreign interference? How can we reverse or stall McConnell's abetment to the forces that diminish and destroy our democracy?

Voting blue is great. But it's not enough I fear.

Hey Karen, meet John

He's a friend of mine. John wrote this on Facebook and it's worth a read. He's a white guy, not that it matters.

Hearing a lot of "Karens" complaining about the hijacking of their name for slang. As a "John," I am not empathetic:
- One that solicits a prostitute is called a "John."
- The place in which humans relieve themselves, "The John."
- Even better, if the potty is portable, it's a "Port a John!"
- Writing a letter to tell your boyfriend you found a new guy while he's off at war, send a "Dear John" letter!
- The crappiest & cheapest boat one can own; a "John Boat."
Need I say more?
