Anyway, my aunt who is the most Midwestern friendly, kind, not ever wanting to rock the boat-type, so I have heard her talk about politics maybe five times in my life. I didn’t know she was a Democrat until maybe a few years ago
This woman was ON FIRE yesterday. Couldn’t stop talking about SCOTUS
SCOTUS is stuff I've heard about from clued in but not terminally online sickos too. Once again it seems that political news media is missing something real because theyre more focused on continuing their navel gazing feeding frenzy
It’s really because this woman is the matriarch of our family, a total peacemaker. And she was just spitting fire. The woman has uterine cancer and is in chemo, and she has expressed zero fear about that. SCOTUS and Trump? I saw fear in her
I’ve seen a bunch Biden signs too here, just not on the boats at the harbor Racine is weird because it’s both extremely Trumpy white trash, normals, and it’s also very black (Biden signs). I think it’s slightly bigger than Kenosha.
Sartre wrote a series of novels after WW2 set in Paris c. 1937 that I really liked when I read them long ago. As he depicts it, anyone paying attention sees what’s coming but of course is powerless to do anything to stop it, and that dread hangs over & permeates everything.
At the time—I was probably 18–this sounded so exciting, to live in such a world historical time, to have the kind of moral clarity that was available!
Turns out I fucking hate it! This sucks!
