(58 posts)we were calling our c1969 campus strike. I was among the organizers. At the big rally, I turned around to see one of my fellow women's res inmates raising her arm voting yea to the motion. Jeanette, I said, gazing at her green eyeshadow and tidy hair. What are you doing??
I've had enough of this shit, she said.
I was never sure quite which shit she'd had enough of, as I think that's probably the case for a lot of unlikely suspects voting Democrat today. But she'd had enough and that was good enough for me.
Good for Jill's mother!

(5,395 posts)Looking at this text though:
(It might look familiar . . .)
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
More perfect Union?
Establish Justice?
Insure domestic Tranquility?
Provide for the common defence?
Promote the general Welfare?
Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity?
Seeing how Trump has driven those into the ground over the years, her words are justifiable! The anger, the F bomb, yep, let that rip!
"My favorite day." Indeed!
