Lying and attacking a state on fire is crass business. He did this to Cooper in NC. Ire for Orange County cutting millions from fire force should be headline.
We hoped Millennials would be the generation that changed/saved us. Not that that ship has sailed, but I feel Gen Alpha and Beta is going to have the healthy kind of FU skepticism we desperately need.
Asked my grandson when this suffocating depression would end. "Four years from now if we're lucky". He was 12 when he left office. During term kept me in stitches making fun of him. Two days after loss--"Grandma, he's not funny now. He's dangerous." At 12 he knew more than our senate.
That's when he started the Big Lie about the election. We're still dealing with all ramifications from it. A senator at the time said "let him talk. What could happen?" Had he instead said "Our elections are secure." we may be in a different place.
Trying to figure out how I'm gonna explain the next 4 years to my younger kids. They're going to see that the leader of the country is the opposite of everything we've taught them to be.
"Why did so many people vote for a felon? He committed crimes, so why did they vote for him?" - My 12 year old when we told them he won. How do you tell a Mexican kid people voted for him because they hate non-white people?
This was my queer 12 year old as well. Last time he was in the White House she knew all the reasons he didn't embody our values but not the enormity of the danger & people's hate.
My spouse and I have tried so hard to shelter her from the hatred of the world, and she was young enough the first time around to avoid that conversation. We live in a predominantly MAGA area, she has already been attacked physically by classmates for her brown skin, and this is the cherry on top 🫠
I'm so sorry. It's not ok that our kids are dealing with this. Our state is red but our city is fairly blue, still we had to pull her out of school for a year she was getting so bullied.
My 8th grade drama class today went off on him and I sat back and just listened. The students had to provide 5 pieces of information about a famous person and someone chose him. I smiled inside and then felt so sad that these kids will be dealing with his stuff the rest of their lives.
But what good does it do to know this? He's elected. He's got billionaire puppeteers. And, if he dies in office, there's Vance, silently, waiting. Our only hope will be the 2026 elections. They will require the Dems to show up!
My 15 year old son want even mention his name. If he hears me say anything about TFG, he says, “ Don’t mention the treasonous POS around me!” “But, I love you, mom!” 🤣🤣
Good job. I get so tired of people saying "you can't talk about that with kids." Why not? It's their world too. I skipped school to watch WGate hearings at 12. Better than letting them grow up thinking their opinions don't matter.
We don’t talk politics to our 11 year old son, but the other day he said one reason to move out of our house is because Donald Trump is President. He gets it.
I'm losing my hope. My husband is a huge Drumpf supporter. I feel so totally empty. I can't see the country I once knew and loved. I just can't any more.

They have more common sense than that Orange clown.
“Mom, if that guy is elected president he will set the women’s movement back 100 years!!!”

joe biden has been failing for quite a long time. But he'll be successful in retirement, I'm sure.
