I'll send tRump a personally autographed picture of my taint to identify me with.

These clowns are cowards. Being prior US military, they already have my prints, DNA, or whatever else to ID me with. IDGAF! This shit won't end without some bold fucking people with a platform yelling "come at me, bro" while flipping them the fuck off. I'm a nobody, but I'd stand right along side those with such a platform, proudly begging them to do something to a US veteran. My life is the only thing I have and it's not much of one thanks to these twats. I'm not living. I'm not thriving. I'm surviving and barely that anymore. Cowering and hiding won't do me any good, they'll eventually come for me and mine. I just won't give them the satisfaction of seeing their bully tactics working, even down the barrel of a gun.

Consider me that Soviet prisoner staring down Heinrich Himmler, I guess.

I'm a firm believer that many in MAGA are under a spell. The only hope we have is helping them identify that brainwashing and welcome them back to humanity once they do. However, as I've discussed with my therapist, we can't force them. They have to want to change. It really starts with pushing them from the hateful rhetoric of Faux News and the like. That propaganda is a powerful funnel for their hate, vitriol, and lies. It's the hydra that we must slain if we are ever to fix this without more bloodshed.

I'll see you out there in solidarity with the others who still see humanity as a fighting cause. I bounce between hope and despair, but the bounce on the hope side doesn't seem to go as high as it used to.

I appreciate the sentiment. I joined the Guard out of high school in 2004 to help my community and have a sense of purpose. Yesterday showed me that maybe it wasn't in vain. I hit a pretty low place this week so seeing some positive affirmations of human commradery was a welcomed sight.

Stay safe and stay hydrated. Much love from the midwest!

To be fair, there was evidence of voter disenfranchisement and voting abnormalities that seem too widespread to ignore. Check out the Election Truth Alliance and see for yourself. This isn't conspiracy shit. The numbers don't lie.

I attended my first protest yesterday, alone, while my wife watched my boy play at a park. Minus a couple of neckbeards in raised trucks sporting Confederate and tRump flags, it was a great experience. Lots of support from drivers as they passed by!

I was surprised at how many older people were there. No offense to anyone over 60 here, but until yesterday it felt like many older folks were fine with shit going down this way. I'm in a blue state, in a purple to blue location. I saw way more tRump shit last year than I had hoped to see.

I plan on making yesterday a regular event!

The conservative propaganda machine has been replacing empathy with cold-hard individualism for going on 50-years. Everything is a wedge issue and if it shouldn't be, it'll be made one. We like to make comparisons to the rise of fascism in the 1930s, but the tools, methods, and reach of today's tech makes that time feel like it took root through fortune cookies in comparison.

I don't know how we can hope to deprogram some of these people.

I will admit, sadly, the current propaganda machines have poisoned the minds of so many servicemen. The popularity of tRump within their ranks is higher than I would like to see, given the blatant demegogory displayed by him at every turn. Still, I hold out hope we see good triumph over evil when this all inevitably goes tits up.

What I wouldn't give to be anywhere else than the states nowadays! I feel like just the headlines take a day off my life, anymore.

If you've never pet a jellyfish, they feel kind of neat, like a manta ray and a plastic bag had a baby!

On the upside, they're the only bunch I wouldn't get grossed out about if they peed without washing afterwards!

Nah, just casually pointing out a Superman sighting!
