After November 5, 2024

 On November 5, 2024, the people spoke.   They gave the 47th presidency back to Donald J Trump.   After 4 years of runaway spending, war,  inflation, illegal border crossings, two assassination attempts, lawfare against a Presidential candidate, wild indictments,  a litany of other failures and incessant lies by both government and mainstream media about how bad DJT was, normal folks decided they'd had quite enough.   All the damage to the country that was done was all thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  We have all paid for the Biden/Harris era--look at your receipts--all of us have paid higher prices for the last 4 years.    Now, democrats have been convinced by the mainstream that their rights are going to be snatched from them.  President Trump didn't do it during his  first term and he's not going to do it this time.  Now, all the liars in corporate/mainstream media are melting down and are worried that their million dollar jobs aren't going to be around much longer.  The opinion makers no longer matter in the scheme of things. [Most] people saw through the lies.    Anyone who believes that what the legacy media has reported is fair and balanced needs to seriously re-evaluate their belief system. WE HAVE ALL BEEN LIED TO.  We lost our common sense and our minds for the full duration of the Biden Era.  

As family, we aren't required to discuss our politics and politics should not be the be all and end all of familial relationships.  

When I announced on Facebook in 2016 that I had voted for Trump I did not expect such a backlash.   I didn't think anyone would care how I voted because I didn't care how THEY voted.  Their vote did not signify my feelings for them and, I thought, vice versa.

When we were younger, politics didn't matter one way or the other and it still shouldn't.  But, they (meaning our government) wanted us to be divided and they did a bang up job of it.   But, with all of us, the years are going by and we are not getting any younger.   This is what it means to be thrown away:  it isn't a good feeling.

Just my two cents worth.
