I was passionate about politics once and looking back at 77 it all seems entertaining at best.

I passed out pro Kennedy pamphlets on the streets of Salt Lakes City as a Catholic teenager, I protested at the 1968 Dem convention and ran from
Mayor Daley’s police., I went door to door for Jimmy Carter against the Hitler of his day (Ronald Reagan), I voted enthusiastically for that Blue Dog Dem, Bill Clinton, and I pulled the lever with hope for Obama.

Today it amused me how incredibly naive I was about the underlying political process.

IT IS ALL A CIRCUS DUDES… sit back and just laugh.

It’s our Canterbury Takes or Gulliver’s Ttavels.

Sit back and laugh. It is good for your health.

  It's fabulous farce! I am enthralled and entertained.

  Age brings perspective.
  My take is that Kamala is just BORING.

    Except when you are ranting about transgendered and woke issues. Then you aren’t enthralled

        They certainly can be and some of yours have been.

      Human “rationalization” is a defense against repressed anxieties.

      We all make emotional decisions and then justify them with “logic.”
      MGGA and TDS are emotional reactions not thoughtful
      ones.

  The Supreme Court reversed Obama’s overreaching more than any other modern President.

  You sound ready to become violent.
  
  BaronVonZemo 64227 posts 7:52 pm on Oct 24, 2024
  
  You really do.
  I assume your cognitive functions and moral compass will resist the urge in your case, not so for your fellow liberals.
  You guys don’t sound for a second like your going to accept losing power. You sound like someone pre rationalizing violence and/or cheating to maintain it.

    Just because you imagine that doesn’t make it so

    Pretty sure I’ve been consistent in my condemnation of political violence.
    Unlike your cult leader.

Unfortunately, the Harris campaign slogan is “If we fight, we win”. They won’t be chillaxing

if they lose.
I have repeatedly said that if you want to know what libs are doing behind the scenes, just look to what they accuse their opponents of being/doing.
That’s a scary thought.
They have their loyal base convinced that “Donald Trump is Hitler”. What won’t they do if they lose or are going to lose? Especially when one of their main tenants is Rule #3: the ends justify the means,
They already attempted to murder Trump - and they continue the hyperbole despite having been warned that it will encourage more attempts.
TDS is a real mental illness based on hatred.
