Processing this, Trump seems to have come across social media kinda like an "influencer"

which I had no clue what it was until like a couple yrs ago. These people are powerful and a powerful influence on so much of our nations mind. They don't stay up late scrolling, scrolling, reading about reality. And so much of the culture under about 40 now are so brainwashed thru this mentality and the do not watch news. And people feed them, an appetite of it. And further, if they see you tend to one conversation, they will throw you into the red, rw crowd and that is what you consume all fuggin day and into that night. Then throw in Musk.

Hate. Outloud, in your face.... Hate. And so it begins.

One of the previous issues I remember from Trumps time was the vocal in your face hate and yes, violence because trump opened the flood gates for that. Over the last 4 yrs it is not as loud and constant during his time. I was reading FB and conversation about girls being taunted on the playground by boys "your body our choice". And so it begins. the approved and allowed, accept out loud hate and mean that Trumps brings to the table and feeds thru our society with him as the "leader". Another was a girl in front of class. White/Asian and boy yelled out I know who you would vote for because you do not want to be deported.

This is one of the many things Trump brings to us.

Reading the SC rulings today and what they have ruled recently just makes my stomach sick.

To all those people back in 2016 that told us the SC was not important, what do you say now?

Just checking to see if others are having a tough time connecting, and going slow

or if it is only my puter cause I started having issues last couple days. And is this why we went star only cause attacks or something? I haven't been around last couple days so haven't seen conversation about this. Telling me something about a gateway.

Edit: Wooosh, cause I probably have more than one post to delete, lol. I didnt know this was going thru and kept trying to post it. Thanks. Always good to hear I am not alone. I can deal with that. Lol, so funny.

This was Taylor Swift's message yesterday about speaking out.

In summation...
We have officially wrapped the European leg of The Eras Tour. With it came the most passionate crowds I've ever played for, new traditions in the show, and an entirely new era added in. It was a more hectic pace than we'd done before, and I'm so proud of my crew/fellow performers for being able to physically perform that show and build our massive stage, take it apart, and make magic with so few days in between for recovery and travel. They're the most impressive people I know and ľ'm SO lucky they gave The Eras Tour their time, their energy, and their expertise.
Walking onstage in London was a rollercoaster of emotions. Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt, because so many people had planned on coming to those shows. But I was also so grateful to the authorities, because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives. I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together. I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London. My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff, and British authorities, every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us. Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows.
In cases like this one, 'silence' is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it's right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.
And then London felt like a beautiful dream sequence. All five crowds at Wembley Stadium were bursting with passion, joy, and exuberance. The energy in that stadium was like the most giant bear hug from 92,000 people each night, and it brought me back to a place of carefree calm up there.

Abortion pill.

So, I thought this interesting. I work for an insurance company. We cover abortions 100%. I got a call from a facility telling me virtual setting, for abortion and I was like what, is that the pill? Yes. So I asked some questions and thought it was valuable information. Hey Jane in NY, Ny... legit credited I ran the information. A real licensed provider. I asked so someone from out of state can call you. Yes he said but there are restrictions. I asked if it matter on state law and he said, that would be restrictions.

We are talking coded to not step on each others toes until we saw we were on the same side and that it is a valuable service.

Anyway, I felt good learning this information. I personally was not aware there was this possibility and I can see ways around with red state restrictions.

I need educated. I really have not been following politics like I use to.

I am so disgusted with Trump and Biden has had it well in hand.

But here we are at another election and I need to get educated on Harris. I need to focus now on what was said last week. Just a couple days into her kick off. I am being told all Sanders needs is specifics what Harris stands for with the working class. That she will lose otherwise. That Dems historically turn their back on working class, except Biden, which I absolutely disagree with. Now Harris was Biden VP and carry his stuff along when she wins and has stated that I believe. In the mere handful of days she has been given before being schooled on what to do with her campaign, has she been turning her back, ignoring the working class? Because I have to really assumed in this economy and people's concern with inflation and increase in costs, there has been at least a minimal amount of information about plans for the middle class.

Can you all share what you have heard the last week in her speeches? Will be good info to have from here on out when we have to educate others saying she and Dems just do not help working class.

Thanks.

God encourages abortions?

How come mine never look like y'lls? Why don't we know this. I am at work so will confirm later, but did have someone tell me this was true. Since it is ALL based on religion, seems like they lose.
