That 30 to 40 percent of the people in this country are loons.
No masks, no vaccines, etc., blindly following charlatans and grifters.
I saw it in my own family this year-my sister's children essentially convinced her that she didn't need a vaccine for covid, she eventually got the disease and died a few months ago, leaving me with a hole inside that will never close, partly because of the utter insanity that surrounded the situation, a death that did not have to happen.
And now we get blasted daily that Democrats will get beat in the next election. And to that I say BULLSHIT.
I'm voting. I'm telling everyone I know about the good that Democrats do.
I'll be damned if I let the loons win.
