I know weird, right? Why can’t I keep talking to you? How many replies is too may replies? I think I’m having an existential crisis over this now!

Even here in the Chicago area, most of the political messages I saw were about the border.
We’re nearly 1500 miles away from the Mexican border (because you know they aren’t talking about Canadians). Yes, we have a lot of refuges here because we offered to host them plus we had Abbott busing extras here, which was only his fault (and, again, no consequences), but that was the #1 message we heard.
It would have been nice to hear more about the progressive topics. Both sides here talked border border border immigration lost jobs all the time.

A definite “hear! hear!” for that one (posted here previously, i think) That guy comes off as properly empathetic, utterly rational, and as ‘traditional’ (for those who like that sort’ve thing) as possible. I wish that could be widely media dispersed; if for nothing else as a admonishment of sorts to the 51% of the voters who have endangered us all.
