Your comments, Gary, are very inspiring and, in many respects mirror my upbringing and present stance. The thing that upsets me the most is the prevalence of the Great Replacement Theory - which has its seeds in Christian believers. The Christianity that I grew up with and the teachings that I still attempt to maintain center on how we treat each other. You know that old Golden Rule thing. I find my childhood values being severely tested these days. Yes, my wife and I will continue to be generous to family and friends and charitable organizations. That ain’t the difficult part. What I find difficult to do is resist being sarcastic, sanctimonious, and/or sappy by sinking to “level” of Trump and his supporters. I mean, I could write this wisecrack: “What do Trump and his supporters revere more - the Golden Rule or the Trump Tower Golden Escalator?” (Of course, I’d never say that out loud!! Oooppppsssss! Somehow my erase button ain’t working right now!) Bottom Line: We are battling the Great Replacement Theory - which never gets named and which most of the Trump supporters can’t/don’t name. At least the Allied forces in 1944 could NAME their opponent! Lately, my wife and I are planning to add the World Central Kitchen to our donation list! Hmmmmmm…. Money for Donald Trump or Jose Andres? Gotta decide what will be the Best Bang for the Buck. I vote for Jose!! Anyone else with us??
Thanks for that Paul. One thing Trump and his Magats can't take away from us is our sense of humor. You made me smile several times.
A friend of mine is an analyst for the CIA specializing in famine and hunger. He has been with the CIA for over 20 years. I can definitely see his job going away under the current Fascist regime.

Your kind is considered by this administration to be just like soldiers in the military - suckers and losers.
