The following really happened to me. The surrounding details aren’t important here:
I found myself sinking in the equivalent of quicksand. The one thing about quicksand that you need to learn REALLY FAST is to stop what you’re doing and think. Continuing to try walking simply sucks you down deeper and deeper! Now is a time that it’s really, really important to stop, breath and reassess things.
Democrats, Republicans and Independents we all need to stop the insanity and THINK as if our life depends on it. Forget all the animosity, name calling and prejudices. Stop watching and listening to entities that promote animosity or negative viewpoints Start listening to opinions that are different than yours. YOUR and your children’s lives may depend on it. The worst that could happen is we all feel and live better, happier and less stressful lives.
If you wish to dive deeper you will probably enjoy the following link with references to stories (even Dr Seuss) and historic examples of this divide and conquer process.
America was defeated by the people who made the sign saying Arbeit Macht Frei. The people who had guard towers to keep citizens from escaping. The Secret Police. All that is good in America is being buried under the barrage of constant garbage.
Will there be a second Civil War or Great Depression? For the sake of my children, grandchildren, and my brand new great granddaughter I pray. I pray that the Work Will Make You Free people die or are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I pray that the Secret Police is disbanded and prosecuted as necessary. I pray that the constant garbage stops and we can all get back together.
Mary I have been having issues with my debit card bank rejecting many attempts to donate (not only to you). I have cancelled the card and will communicate with my bank in order to correct this. If the bank won’t cooperate I will ultimately change banks. You might want to be aware that this is happening, perhaps to other people. BTW, it’s Bank of America 🙄🤬
The political catastrophe of a truly fascist dictator President must be focused on ; we the people , MAGA base (millions ) , republican lackeys in Congress, do nothing Dems and the fifth estate!

B. Economic manipulation for billions in Trumph family emulsions!!!
C. Covert operations against anti Trumph citizens and media and more.
D. International chaos and destruction of ally's in favor of Putin and the KBG.
E. Fascist Trumph monuments in favor of destroying the people's rights ; west wing , other structures, national parks in favor of Trumph big oil drilling polluters and on and on.
Especially disregard for native Americans sacred lands.

So buckle up.
Fascist dictator on the move, every day.
Tacit consent rules. Along with the fancy indifference !
Amen, Ronda and Mary. You evoke my professors and fellow and sororal classmates, class of 1968 , The University of Chicago College. How hopeful!!
The greatest game ever:
Isn’t televised.
Has 342 million players.
The players don’t know they are playing.
Designed for both team to lose.
What is it? It’s called “Divide and Conquer”
The teams are Republicans and Democrats.
The winners are the Oligarchs.
