2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.

    Well, I’ve had to remove multiple people that used to just be right leaning for outright fascist statements and ideas in the last few months as they’ve deteriorated into hate speech and ethnic cleansing…so while I grew up conservative…yeah, I can’t support that shit.

    Democrats are a mild improvement at best but at least they aren’t constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.

    I’d like a proper left-leaning candidate, but with America’s history. They’ll end up assassinated.

      Just the IDF and Likud, which shares nothing in ideology or methodology with them.
