Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Apparently eggs go well with deportations. I’m not getting Deported, are you ? George, George, George. Need I haul out Martin Niemöller? You're better than this. |

And, eventually, measles, whooping cough and fluoride-free water. Jfk jr. will be in charge of that. JFK Jr died in a plane crash in 1999. |

I must have paid 10k extra for food , energy, insurance, gas over the last few years. I welcome the change. While my niece's reproductive rights have been stripped away, my best friend will be jailed for being trans, my parents will be debt for now even more rising medicine and medical costs, and I'll never get fair housing... but yeah, lower cost of eggs and gasoline. JFC. |

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The History of the last 3 and a half years created an election where Trump won the election AND the popular vote. Anything else ? |

Today, I've become a second class citizen in my own country.
Unfortunately, I feel like one on this board when there's an overwhelming majority who don't disguise their dislike for the man and the change that came with it.
And even though the political thread has been squashed, it's not going to stop some of the same voices from standing on the periphery and making their voices known here.
It makes conversing with them in other threads near impossible. I haven't spoken to some people in over a year. Sort of defeats the purpose of having fun here when you have to ignore others, or get ignored.
Do I really want another 4 years of this? No. But instead of retaliating, which can get nasty, I think I'll quietly go somewhere else that's more Trump friendly. Closing my account here and reopening it becomes tiresome but I think I'll be making a more permanent choice now. Trump might have got the popular vote, but scores less than Jill Stein here, and I don't want my blood pressure to go up responding to some of it.
Rags over and out.....

JFC. No body is being jailed for being trans. Stop setting up strawmen. You could buy a house in Trumps first term, now? Not so much. |

Sorry Rags. No one on this forum has disguised their political leanings. But Conservatives have to, I guess. |

This will be my last word on the subject, because this really isn't the forum and, well, I knew that.
A few people vented. A few gloated. There was some back and forth and none of it got remotely personal.
So, that's it. Any hard feelings...well...that's on you.

OK, this is all getting a little bit heated. Feelings are running high for everyone, I totally get that. But let's all try and cool off for a bit and not turn against our fellow forum members, regardless of their political allegiances.
I'm gonna temporarily lock the thread for now.
