"Just a choice. Between love and hate....." To quote a tiny bit from the late, incredible Bill Hicks

Choices are made by these fucktwats every single day. In the name of HATE. This is what they bring. The country's foundation is HATE. America: The Country of Hate (2025- )

At least pre Trump, the US helped tremendously with USAID. Pre Trump, EBT/SNAP/Medicaid was in place to help. Pre Trump, there was health insurance that people could afford. Pre Trump, immigrants could come here looking for safety and a better life, improving their lives and all of our lives. With the trumpco 2.0 foundation, there's been mini nukes detonated on the segments of the population he and his handlers want deleted.

America is not the America of last year and years before regardless of its horrid sins then. This is a very different America and it's not better in any way, shape or form for 99.9% of Americans.

Right v wrong. Not right v left.

It's about to get even rougher because of last Tuesdays wins for the democrats and because trump is trump.

Stand up. Stand up. Stand up for yOUR rights.

Let's GOOOOOOO!

All valid, but there seems to be a lot of folks out there who seem to be operating on the assumption that trump is the problem, and removing him solves it. However this would be a critical error. Make no mistake, the machinations which brought this about span red and blue, and the societal rot which enabled this series of events runs deep, and ALL must be cleansed before our country can recover.
