So, in 2016 I read a couple opinion pieces about the rise of Trump, and how liberal/leftist elitism played a major part because the rank and file of the right felt as if we were looking down on them, and it made me really introspective. Were we being exclusionary? Should we focus more on kindness and understanding? It would be hard to ignore or push aside some of their hateful rhetoric to meet then where they are and help guide them out, but maybe that is what needs to happen.

In 2025? Fuck that, and fuck you. I'll still vote for your best interests, march with you, vote with you and not mock you or disown you for your past, but you have to swallow your pride and admit you were wrong first. If you can't do that, you deserve the Trump-dozer that will roll over you.

The democrats started the mantra of "take the high road". The only thing that did was piss off the right and they got worse. There is no reasoning with MAGA. They won't stop until their perceived enemies are suffering, even if that includes their own suffering along side them.

Kathy is suffering, but when her legs are gone she will still be eating Trumps asshole.

I am looking down on them, because they're stupid.

As Cipolla suggested, a stupid person is the most dangerous person in the world .. Why? you don't understand them and they'll act in ways that hurt you and themselves.

It's "Its," not "It's".

It's correct in the original

Not only am I pedantic, I love to fight my autocorrect.

Oh goddammit, I actually "fixed" that, original was correct.

Basically it's because "it" is a pronoun, so the possessive acts like his and hers.

Eeyore lost his tail

The gloomy plush donkey lost its tail

Oh, look, it's (it is) hanging by Owl's door!

😆 I am well aware. Somehow my brain farted and "corrected" the headline.

Sometimes my brains asks, "Whose tail? Eeyore's tail! Eeyore lost it's tail." Ugh. Still, asking who or what a thing belongs to is my main clue. :)

Yes, English is my first language. Yes, always excelled at it and other languages. Yes, growing old.

Doesn't hurt to have others read this sort of exchange and learn. 👍🏻
