Blue or red, that's all she said.

This year’s election and 2024 are not for any one single issue, but winner takes all; with gerrymandering being a hump that must be overcome.

This isn’t singularly about abortion or guns or the corporate takeover of housing and rental properties, climate change, health care, immigration, the pandemic or anything else. It is about all of it.

I know there are voters out there that may agree with blue on many things, but not on gun control and perhaps the lawlessness of open stealing out of stores in some liberal areas is putting you off as well. Maybe you agree on guns, but not on some other issue. The next two elections are about way more than your personal issue.

One side wants to end democracy, install an idiot autocrat and return to landowner days with few rights for anyone not a white, Christian male. The other side would like the American experiment to continue.

Maybe we’re already too far down the rabbit hole, but not voting or voting independent in November will seal the deal on being beyond the point-of-no-return.

And I do seriously wonder, because of the nature of the past couple of mass shootings, if the next civil war has already begun and these incels will be targeting large groups of minorities.

Certainly the pent up rage from how life is going isn’t helping interactions. We still have a lot more of the year left for gas to go higher, groceries to go higher, more people to pick which bill to pay, more to homeless and more general rage at how much the world sucks right now.

Social Work is gonna suck even more than it does now.

They may want the babies born, but they aren’t fans of social safety nets and a good number born will be born into poor households. Thus, especially with high inflation and terrible pay, social service employees are going to suffer (after of course the mother’s suffer from having an unwanted birth).

Now the way I see it, is anyone that can be both against the right to choose, but also against public assistance, is someone that delights in misery and chaos.

Is it a realistic possibility...

…that if the GOP gain ground in Congress this year, and Roe is overturned, do you see a realistic possibility the country could see a split in the years to come? I don’t see states like California or New York going along with a ban on abortion.

Is 2022 the make or break election?

Or is this post hair on fire and unrealistic and we will get through this as a whole country in the long run?
