But I betcha not one Trump voter will actually read it. Ok a few might but nowhere near that 70 million are going to be enlightened today or tomorrow or next week or next month. THAT is our biggest problem. It isn't that not enough people oppose him.

Isn't the In Our Footsteps project wrapped up? Or you're doing something further with it?

Racism is #1, which is learned! But often from family, yes? Absolutely then fear (driven by media like Fox/Murdoch). Then of course education (hit & miss over here, maybe there too?!). Cruelty = too much abuse w/in families > bullying >wanting to be cruel as retribution but w/out consequences. 🤷♀️

and it's taking them way too long to figure that out... (we still have a lot of folks who believe in the crap media sources like fox!)

Because he is both greedy AND evil. That's not news, fwiw. (Re-watch The Social Network?!?!)

Trumpers/MAGA by a different name.
I don't get all the hate except that society has gradually created a huge mess of people with massive self-worth problems!!!

It is really no better here... weird how there is so much of it spreading... (historian asks WHY? but has no idea, really...)

Just the mention of his name makes me look away in disgust. So this thread might need avoiding :-)

1. Don't trust The Sun... ffs!
2. Even "sunny liberal California" has its nutters. Not only are there red hot (ie MAGA) counties, but my mom's neighbor grilled me years ago about how awful it must be to have NHS healthcare! (BTW I miss the NHS so much!)
3. Don't trust The Sun!

I live in the Connecticut River Valley. When potatoes here are harvested, loads of people show up after the tractors move away to grab the "leftovers"!

Looks great. Oddly I don't know which university, as there are two universities with a college by that name. (And doesn't the university grant the grad degree, not the college, hence it is submitted to them?) I know I might sound pedantic but am curious!

i.e. there has been a huge amount of British leadership "shooting selves in feet" for quite a while now... sadly. But hey, it's far worse here now! Who'da thunk?!
