An excellent thoughtful post. It is hard to make a decision about people we love and family. Personally I can no longer talk small talk about inconsequential things when the looming demise of the US is a possibility. So I really don't care if someone likes their new hairdresser (when we have never discussed politics--probably my fault b/c I know her political leanings) or if they have not found the perfect pattern for a quilt they're making for their grandson. I just can't talk about nothing in a time when everything is on the line. So I'm basically through with pretending I don't detect b.s.
So well said Maureen! Kind of explains why so many voters chose not to hear Harris' repeated statements about Trump's character. Or lack of. Seems they were more concerned about the price of eggs. Which reached an all-time high this week.
Democracy. Democracy gives that. Royalty gives another system. USA, Switzerland, Europe, South America...and dictatorship, it is North Korea...and Africa, most of the time, it is the big mess.
If you are an American, you can live everywhere in the world, you can choose the place where you work and you live. In France, we have this president, Emmanuel Macron. I voted two times for him, but a lot of people in France dislike him. I think he does a good job with Poutine, Trump, and the Chinese guy. If we avoid the third world war, and after the third, the fourth, It will be good.

Thanks Jeanine - agreed this is not the time to be quiet or suffer fools.
