The people who voted for Harris & Walz don't deserve what Trump and sycophants have done.
My husband and I did not vote for the autocrat. Not in 2016 and not in Nov. 2024 either. 🇺🇸
Even if they ever DO come to their sense - Trumpers will be horrified to discover that they can't unshit the bed.
Thank you for the Lilly posts today. They were a much needed cleanse.

"The Day After" for the first time.

Our (former) allies would be nuts to trust us until it is 100% clear that the MAGA disease has been entirely burned away.
And I doubt you or I will still be alive by the time that happens.

The American age is over. And it ended because the American people were no longer worthy of it.
