25. I hate it!!
Mon Dec 15, 2025, 09:06 PM
Dec 15

I hate what these people are doing to this country..At 70 plus years old? I don't have a lot of time left to see the recovery which will take a while..Republicans, wealthy tech titans and these so called right wing Christians are the most hateful and terrible people I have seen in my years.I am a christian man and yet none of the behavior I see from the so called right christian nationals is anything like what I was taught in church!! .I can remember at 12 years old my dad said to me...Never vote republican!!..I must say I did not always listen to all the good things my dad tried to tell me as I grew into a man, but I learned over this time that he was as right as right could be..He had seen a lot as a man of color and was trying to pour into me the facts of life! He was not a formally educated man but was one of the smartest people I have ever known!! He went through and explained to me why? They hate unions, they hate social security they hate civil rights, they dislike people of color! Their answer to everything is tax cuts!! All the reasons he told me then are so true today!! This all started with the election of Ronnie Reagan! This is where we are!! If I get to see my dad again! I will tell him just how right he was!!
