Proceed at your own peril. In my deep red area of Georgia you will find plenty of voters planning to vote for Ossoff. Why? Because his is widely known to jump in and help a situation regardless of party affiliation. He actually helps his constituents even if they didn't vote for him. Novel concept

This is not hyperbole. This is EXACTLY what I am seeing with younger people today. THIS is why they are willing to experiment with other economic systems. Jobs market is horrible, economic hardships w/ the outrageous costs of necessities, healthcare unattainable due to costs, forget home ownership.

I really, really hate it that now I have been turned into a conspiracy theorist because my government's first reaction to anything is to lie. Was the assassination attempt real? In the before times I would have had ZERO doubt. Today...I just don't know. Withholding judgment for now but suspicious.

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

I was a Raffensperger fan. I worked the polls for many years under his leadership as GA Secretary of State. He is an engineer guided by logic & facts plus he stood up to Trump's pressure. So his first TV ad out the gate for GA Gov? Something substantive? No alarmist nonsense about trans people.

Wisdom! Absolutely inconceivable. We need leaders made of the right stuff who have the courage to do the right thing, even at great personal expense & take this amoral administration down the right way, the constitutional way. Our founders did not fail us. We have constitutionally authorized ways.

I don't participate in social media to gain followers or clicks so my reach is incredibly small, which in this instance is a pity. Magnificent article which finally helps explain what has happened. How bible verse memorizing kids could grow up to think torture prisons for aliens is a good idea.
