There are six words that strike fear in my heart, "Even if Trump wins in 2020". It is my greatest fear. Yes, the world will go on and positive change will hopefully come, but I am 62 I might not live to see it. In four years, he has caused problems that will take at least a generation to fix and that is being positive. I don't know i…
There are six words that strike fear in my heart, "Even if Trump wins in 2020". It is my greatest fear. Yes, the world will go on and positive change will hopefully come, but I am 62 I might not live to see it. In four years, he has caused problems that will take at least a generation to fix and that is being positive. I don't know if I can deal with the damage eight years of Trump could potentially do. The guy has got to go!
Marcy Meldahl, I have been working for the U.S. Census. My area is Conservative. It has gotten a little better. I think it currently "leans Republican" which has been viewed as progress by the area Democratic Party. However, I see far too many Trump signs especially in neighborhoods where it is apparent the residents don't have two pennies to rub together. That said there is a fair number of Biden signs in the community, but I would feel better if I saw more.
I think I am one of those who would love to put a Biden sign in my yard, but fear repercussions from a Trump supporter. It's very possible that there are many out there who feel as I do. I pray it is so.
I feel the same. On my street is one prominent Trump sign, and on an adjacent street, the owners went all out for a full 8' by 4' banner that completely shades their entire front porch. So disheartening.
I had an Obama sign on my property and within two days it was torn to bits and thrown all over the street. So I got a bunch of them and put them inside in my front windows just to make a point. 😠
I'm 77 and did not expect to be spending my last years in a dystopia. But here we are, on the brink of seeing our beloved democracy end and climate change hasten the destruction of life on Earth as we've known it. We must do everything in our collective powers to get out the vote and eject monster Trump and his cult members in Congress from power. What remains worrisome are all the people, like those at the campaign rally last night on the South Lawn, who will still be around and will be difficult to coax back to the slime from which they've been encouraged to emerge.
I know! I have been voting for President since 1976. I have never seen this much crazy and I survived Reagan. Now as compared to Trump, Reagan seems rather benign. However, policies put in place during the Reagan administration still impact us. We can only hope we recover from Trump's damage in a generation.
I thought George Bush was the most idiotic president I have ever seen and dangerous and stupid to boot. This is just on steroids. I can’t believe my ears sometimes
Do you remember Jimmy Carter and the 70's? Survived Reagan? More like were rescued ;) And of course you think all the crazy is...T....Look in the mirror my dear...Portland, NY, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle... the beat, the riots, the killing goes on....Oh yeah.... T ;)
I am right there with you, Sharon. I am 71 (fortunately healthy, both physically and mentally (hmmm, but, psychologically? Some days, not so much...). You are right that it will take at least one generation of committed, well-informed, and morally balanced citizens to repair what has been destroyed.

My greatest fear too is that I end up living The rest of my life in the smoking remnants Of American democracy by people cowed by trump.
As scary as that seems, I worry more about my grandchildren. It’s starting to feel like Mad Max could happen.

Carole Wilcox, my prayer is there are a lot of secret Biden voters

In my neighborhood there is a house with two flags. One is a confederate flag and the other is a trump flag with his fat face on it.

Lawn signs are often placed by the landlords, not the tenants. This gives a neighborhood impression that may not reflect the local sentiment.
That's a very good point.

Hell, NIXON seems benign compared to the Traitor.
Trump makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.
At least Nixon hired American burglars, not Russian hackers.
Nixon Administration had checks and balances. Trumps administration does not. Therein is the rub.

Dick Cheney was the dangerous part about George Bush.

Why are you here?
Kathleen Bruce, I have the same question

Yup, we are still living with the remnants of Reagan and he was benign compared to Trump
I am also 62. I cannot tolerate this man.Our whole democracy and country depends on kicking his backside out of office
My primary care asked me if I wanted an antidepressant today. I said no but if trump gets re-elected in November, BRING IT ON! I’m not kidding.
No joke here. Between the pandemic and this BS think everybody needs something
I will be in line with you
