It's damn hard to puke, scream, and beat my head against the wall

all at the same time.

The constant and loud taunts and threats and bullying makes me scream. The hate against anyone not MAGA makes me physically ill. Watching waves of people and especially people from other countries bow down and cave in is depressing beyond belief.

Years and years of neglect of our infrastructure, persistent long term droughts, destruction of natural resources is going to magnify the downward spiral. We've altered the earth axis for God's sake (can't think of a better term but I digress)!

We are facing sever threats to our existence and how are we readying ourselves? With rich boys that never grew up and are too stupid to see and are callous beyond comprehension.

I apologize for cluttering the forum with my anguish but I had to blurt it out....the magnitude is poison to my soul.

I'll be honest....a thread, here at DU (because I have never had a Facebook, twitter, Instagram, TikTok account) was like the proverbial straw that pushed me over. It should be no surprise 20% of the hydrants didn't have water. From my perspective it seems that actually might be impressive.

It was in 1988 in a red state my house burned down. They came to my fire and didn't have any water. They traveled 1/2 mile down the road to the lake I lived by and their pump was frozen. They watched my house burn to the ground. Which might explain why I become more emotional about people losing their homes to fire. I considered the response a failure but I never considered it political.

Damn and people consider me an optimist.....if that tells you anything!
