Taught some kids and young adults ballet, which lifts their self-esteem, assurance, physical strength and agility, and breeds a sense of purpose and responsibility. 💪💕

This is why it’s near impossible to get someone to change their mind about who to vote for.

It’s media, entertainment and news silos, as well as confirmation bias. Most people don’t want to hear information that conflicts with what they already believe to be true, and when they do hear it, they will brush it aside as fake or propaganda.

I speculate that it’s because underneath the “pro life” movement is the much stronger “pro-natalism” agenda. It’s not so much that they don’t want abortions to happen, it’s that they want more babies born. So advocating for vasectomies would go against their goal of increasing the human population.

This blatantly shows where this administration is lying left and right: they clearly do NOT care a whit about saving money or cutting out waste or fraud. Just pulling tough guy stunt maneuvers.

And trying to distract and confuse us so we don’t see what is happening. 🤬🤬🤬

And for what? Some nebulous, vague promises of “American Greatness “ that is undefined. Greatness is moving forward, not back.

Yes! This entire administration is about an escape hatch/golden parachute for the DT buddies while distracting the rest of us with stupid tricks and meager handouts (or the promise of them in some elusive beautiful future.) 🤬

That is also absolutely true! And DT and his cronies are hell bent on keeping the citizens dumb and unaware. 🤬

Bingo. They are adamantly anti-democracy, so promoting it abroad is against their personal interests. And this whole thing is about their personal interests.

Yup… and it works because we live in an entertainment-obsessed culture.

Sadly, this says a lot about the state of the citizenry in this country and what we— in general, obviously not completely— value and respect.

I’d add that the stress and anxiety of not having adequate health care coverage makes a person even less healthy than they would be. It’s a viscous cycle.
