  6. I know a handful of Jewish folks who are strong Orange?! WTF? They must be single-issue voters? Pro Israel? I don't know & NOTHING they could say wd allow me to forgive them for destroying democracy.

  7. &, most likely, the sane cause - MASSIVE RUSSIAN DIS & MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN. They know our weaknesses & our media addictions & have exploited them to, successfully, rear us apart at the seams. "A nation divided cannot stand."

  8. ​ @irenemonk7991 READ new book - Jesus Wept, a deep dive into the money/power/politics/personalities of the Roman Catholic church as revealed thru the lives of the last 7 popes

  9. I think the dogma of religion can indeed be a gateway drug to authoritarian leanings!! A guy walked on water 2000 yrs ago?! A virgin birth? Priests must be celebate? NUTSO ON THE FACE OF IT. Swallow that & you are primed for far far worse. (I could accept the stories as metaphor - beautiful, but not otherwise.)😅

  10. We cry together. . .my dear dad died age 102 1/2 in 2022. He was a sharp, funny, gracious, articulate, informed FDR Dem. He always called Orange "That Jackass." He was SO frustrated he did not go to jail. Dad lived to vote for Biden & to see him become president. I was terrified during that election. (I had lived in N Y for decades & we were haunted by insane T.) Dad assured me the military would NOT go along w a coup. Well - Orange's new, all white, all male military SURE COULD. He is now forming, out of what was the FBI, a Gestapo. We must try to stop this

  11. Because they are deeply unserious people who see politics as sports! Folks (country club types) here research Consumers Digest prior to the purchase of a new dishwasher more than they researched Priject 2925 to vote for a U S president!!!!! HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY RESPECT THE UTTER LAZINESS - emotionally, intellectually, & as citizens?!

  12. Yes, a big part of this. Psychologists think that fully 25% of any given population are pro-dictator.

  13. This is typical. As a N Yer, for decades we saw immigrants fr horribly patriarchal societies coming in. I thought, "Yeowzaaa, I can lose everything if these women-haters get to vote!" Absolutely the OPPOSITE as to what MAGAts spew. (They say Biden lets immigrants in to vote Dem )

  14. CANCELLING FOX NEWS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START. Plus - only hurting folks are truly open to SUCH hate-filled addictions. Late-stage capitalism makes people mentally ill, disconnected CONSUMERS rather than citizens of a community.

  15. How to explain the rest of us who escaped the hate addiction?

  16. Christianity justified enslaving the Children of Ham! Shiiiiiit. This country always had a predatory side. Read, please, A People's History of the U S by Howard Zinn. I give this book to every h. s. grad, saying, "Here's what they haven't told you "

  17. Ya gonna believe Orange or your very own eyes?

  18. Same with my lovely WW2 vet who only ever called Orange " That JACKASS!" Dad died in 2022 at age 102 1/2. He was an FDR guy
