Ya know...I just care anymore. I did everything I could and there's

[napi21]

too many against me...or us. The SCOTUS, the Pubs, the chicken shit Dems. I just don't care. I'm retired. Living on SS, and I'll die before there's any good things happen in the US.

1. I know how you feel...

Everytime I say leave the politics to the youngeer generations I read something and get all riled up again...

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. You too? And this is not even the country I was born into

and at times I go... fuck it, if those born here don't seem to care, why should I give a shit?

[napi21]

3. I'm not sure I can even get riled up again. Nobody on the left has any

fight anymore, and I sure can't do it alone.

[WCGreen]

8. I see that and get discouraged but then i saw what happened in the

election and realized that there still is something out there to be tapped into.

[gateley]

4. But a spark of hope -- the new banking rules. That sure took me by surprise -

and gave me a lift.

But I know what you mean, too. It's discouraging -- feeling like you've been kicked down and before you can even raise your head to get up, get kicked down again. :hug:

[ohheckyeah]

5. I no longer allow myself

to get emotionally invested in all of this bullshit. It is what it is and I'll just keep living my life.

[Webster Green]

6. I'm over it.

I'm going to go lay on the beach in Mexico.

Fuck it! :smoke:

[eridani]

7. I know, but as for myself--

I intend to spend the rest of my years raging against the dying of the light.

[H2O Man]

9. Okay.

People get tired. There are reasons to take a break, and rest up. Just like the minute between rounds in a boxing match.

This is a tough fight. People need to pace themselves.

I'm just getting warmed-up for the next round.

[tavalon]

10. I am gobsmacked

But I won't let them cow me into giving up. They have no right and I will give them no quarter.

[Echo In Light]

11. I'm just hoping we can get our daughter out of this sicko empire some day
