I'm alarmed by how many people of my generation (X) call themselves conservative and vote Republican. I don't think it's simply a matter of an older generation dying -- because young people become older people and older people often seem to become more conservative.

I stuck out my tongue at a woman with a "he won get over it" sticker on her car...then I thought to myself, how low I have gone due to my disgust of this man and his followers. So my awakening has been quite a bitter one! Glad to hear of the positive turn out that is what is going to take to OUST him and his kind! <br />Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-79874796496863621812018-03-07T20:41:21.926-06:002018-03-07T20:41:21.926-06:00I think your husband may be on to something there....I think your husband may be on to something there. The generation that is our grandchildren seem to have a clear and logical view of what needs to be done. Perhaps they are the only real hope in all of this mess.<br /><br />Wrinkles? They are like scars, they show character and a special kind of beauty. Seriously, I love them. I think it's sad the rest of the world doesn't find them attractive and interesting. I certainly do.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-22826838242946893502018-03-07T19:14:53.776-06:002018-03-07T19:14:53.776-06:00Your writing is, as always, spot on.

Every day it's something else absolutely unbelievable, All these years, I never knew that whoever lived in the White House had such power! I did not realize that he could decide by himself to impose tariffs, and sign them into law within a week! I thought there was a process and Congress had to vote on those things. Of course, Congress is really a cluster of store mannequins for all the good they do, anyway. Except, I guess somebody there decided to allow elephant trophies in. Where's the surprise there when we know Cadet Bone Spur's sons like to shoot wildlife. <br /><br />How devastating to find out that our faith in the government of this country has been so misplaced. <br />My husband and I voted early here in Dallas County, We were the only voters there, with several helpers standing around. It is encouraging to know that more people did vote, but I hope we do lots better in November.
