re: #59 Interesting Times

Wow, depressing - I’m almost sorry I asked :/ (then again, that’s how I feel about nearly all info these days - need to know even if I don’t want to know).

For me, though, it’s really two questions - “When did you know something was seriously wrong with modern America?” vs “When did you know that seriously wrong thing was far, far worse than you realized?”

I saw most of those wrong things people in the thread pointed out, but naively thought Obama’s election meant America had permanently turned a corner (well, it did…except that turn which appeared to lead toward light at the end of a tunnel was actually heading right for an oncoming (trump) train).

I try to remember that 67,000,000 people voted for Obama and only 62,000,000 voted for tRump. We’re a smaller majority than I thought, but if we could just get out the vote—and if our next candidate hasn’t been the target of 35 years of lying propaganda….
