“”A quote (I asked permission) from a comment on another blog, slightly paraphrased:

“When people don’t have to vote, guess who votes? The ones with an extreme view. So instead of getting people elected who will contribute to the nation, you get those with extreme platforms who will suck in the voters with their extreme views…” ozdobe

This is true in all levels of government. Even school board meetings have people with agendas who go push them in at the expense of the children. Been to at least one of those, voting for reason, but not enough reasonable voters bothered to show up. It matters who you vote for, people. I cannot say this enough. You have to vote, and know who you’re voting for, or we wind up where we are right now. Right-wing fanatics, religious zealots, seemingly uneducated idiots who do not have the ability to think or reason. We get what we deserve, and if we don’t turn out for what’s right, well……

Read your history of the extreme right, and see how it works. Start small, in school boards and small town government, and work your way up until you are running most of the country. Or, spend your time thinking about what Justin Beiber did or didn’t do. Sheesh!””

From a post I made in January of this year. Sorry to say, but I was sooo right. 😦

“Am applying to get more help, but the government only helps the really, really rich, and the rest of us can go hang, for all they care. Seems that way, anyway. The hoops you have to go through to get someone to come in for an hour or two a week to do the things you can’t, like cook. Fingers crossed anyway, but even if I qualify for something, I expect it all to be taken away again, including the assistance I already get, once the MAGA’s wishes come true and Trump destroys every one they hate. They will be destroyed, too, because if they think he will skip over them, I don’t want to be there when they find out how very, very badly they have been conned, and how truly important it is not to just believe everything you are told, especially from a proven liar. Denial is not just a rive in Egypt, as they say.”

If there is voting where you are, please vote us out of this horror we are in. Children starving, suffering because of no medical care. Adults, too. In our country. Not some third-world dictatorship run by some madman, but our very own country. I save things to share from the net, then forget, so here are some.
