We donโt hate America.
We hate what Trump is doing to it.
Stupid, Ignorant, Uninformed, And Corruptโฆ.
Trump: "We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting." He's right โ except for the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada, India, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Russia, and 22 other countries.
I do hope you are ok. The last time I did something like that, I was sore for a week.

And Democrats donโt get a passโChuck Schumer voted for it right alongside them.
Democrats Urged to Bow Down to Tech Fascism.
As Trump and Silicon Valley robber barons dismantle US democracy, some Democratic consultants have a strange solution: surrender.

Screenshot of a portion of text from George Orwell's 1984: "There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this.โ An oblong slip of newspaper had appeared between OโBrienโs fingers. For perhaps five seconds it was within the angle of Winstonโs vision. It was a photograph, and there was no question of its identity. It was the photograph. It was another copy of the photograph of Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford at the Party function in New York, which he had chanced upon eleven years ago and promptly destroyed. For only an instant it was before his eyes, then it was out of sight again. But he had seen it, unquestionably he had seen it! He made a desperate, agonizing effort to wrench the top half of his body free. It was impossible to move so much as a centimeter in any direction. For the moment he had even forgotten the dial. All he wanted was to hold the photograph in his fingers again, or at least to see it. โIt exists!โ he cried. โNo,โ said OโBrien. He stepped across the room. There was a memory hole in the opposite wall. OโBrienlifted the grating. Unseen, the frail slip of paper was whirling away on the current of warm air; it was vanishing in a flash of flame. OโBrien turned away from the wall. โAshes,โ he said. โNot even identifiable ashes. Dust. It does not exist. It never existed.โ โBut it did exist! It does exist! It exists in memory. I remember it. You remember it.โ โI do not remember it,โ said OโBrien.
I am not a fan of the ongoing immersive theatrical performance of Orwell's 1984 that is playing out in the USA...
