Feel like we're watching a meme come to life!

I wish I didn't delete it now, but there's a meme out there where one side has a bunch of trumpers saying that they will defend their great leader even if they have to fight. The other side has real soldiers and says something like "Try it".

And looking at what is going on right now, it is that meme coming to life! Many of the blowhards are like " second thought" and others are planning to get there heads blown off!

It's surreal!

" So much anger, bitterness, ignorance."

The right has been that way for as long as I remember.

Obama and his anger translater..

Something Obama and the rest of us don't need right now. We are mad as hell and we want a reckoning. And we want it now!

Really, why? They are depressing. I can't do anything to stop them from going up. All I can do is mask up and social destance.

So I'm getting into fights on FB about Covid.

Thousands of University of Alabama football fans partied in the street near campus, despite the ongoing pandemic.
STORY: https://bit.ly/38EXNV6

Me-Two weeks and number of Covid cases are going to skyrocket.

This Sam guy-That’s what they keep saying but never happens!

My reply- Have you been under a rock for over a year?

No answer yet, but you know one is coming.

Add: this isn't the only one.

Need help trying to find info about the representative that got....

Stopped today at the new metal detectors at the doors of the House today. She apparently had a hissy fit about security checking her bag she wanted to carry into the chamber.
She was a republican. That's all I have, anybody have more?

There has been some talk online about these rethugs wanting...

To harm Democrats. There was a post here last night about a post on the Parlar sight talking about skinning us.

All I have to say is, "these idiots are crazy"!

Do they really think we would set back and not protect ourselves?

There is a saying that "getting Democrats together is like herding cats". Emphasize the word " cats.

We are big cats with big teeth and sharp claws. We can protect ourselves. Where do they get this idea that we can't protect ourselves?

Voltaire was right

Been reading some of the wisdom of the old philosophers. And came across this bit of wisdom from Voltaire:
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”

And we all have seen this last week he was spot-on. The question I have is how do we help keep people from believing in absurdities to begin with?
