Republicans are using fear mongering tactics and criticism of the “mob” to energize Republican voters.

Well:

  1. Fear is about all they got. Fear the “other”. Fear the POC as they will ______. Fear, fear, fear…
  2. As for the “mob”. I see that as just more projection. The “mob” is exactly what they are doing and are encouraged by the Piece-O-Shit sitting in the WH.

And where do I pick up my check or is it mailed to me?

I’m assuming when you say get out that you mean from looking at what passes for “news”. This is a horrible time for us all but most have not gone through what you have. Don’t think anyone would consider you a coward. Please take care, I know about depression.

Fear Works.

That is why the Republicans fall back on it time and time again.

Mussolini rose to power on the fear of a Communist takeover.

Hitler rose to power on the fear of a Communist takeover, controlled and funded by the Filthy Jews who had “Stabbed Germany in the Back”.

Nixon rose to power on the fear of a Hippie/Counter-Culture/Commie-pinko takeover.

Reagan rose to power on the fear of a Commie/Hippie/Gay/Black takeover.

Trump rose to power on the fear of a Mexican Rapist takeover, controlled and funded by the Democrats and their evil Black President and his Conniving Bitch supporter Hillary.

Same flavor, different colors.

Herman Goering: “Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship…Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Well I am angry and am waiting for that paycheck, sure could use a few extra bucks every month.

This may or may not be off-topic but the polling is turning in the Tennessee Senate race. It’s still rated a toss-up but Marsha Blackburn leads in the last round of polling. Makes me wanna tune out news on that race.

Apparently we are magical Jekyll-and-Hyde creatures who morph from one to the other, depending on the Republican talking points.

Just do what helps. This has been hard on everyone, but it’s hard to imagine how much worse for those whose traumas are dredged up by it. Respect and good wishes.

You’re no coward. You have to take care of yourself before you can fight any other battles. There will always be other battles to fight. Don’t be ashamed - care for yourself.

I love irony,. What’s it say about self delusion that these so-called alpha males are scared of women?
They’re not. Alpha male is just another word for rapey grabby douche bag,

When streaking was a thing, there was a crowd of over 1,000 on my college green freshman year, waiting for it to happen. The first guy to break the ice got “pulled over” by the Campus Cops. Who demanded his ID card. So these are important considerations.

You are not a coward. You are just tired of this.

Step back. Take care of yourself. Regain the strength that has kept you going all these years. Come back when you are ready.

I also live in The Dumpster territory here in East TN. I however don’t see any change. As stated before I drive 150 miles every day on back country roads. I see each mile a 1/2 dozen Bredesen signs and only now, in the past week, am I seeing any Blackburn signs. I don’t believe even after this past mess I see more than 6-8 Blackburn signs in the whole 150 miles. Well take that back, one home has 1/2 dozen in their yard.

I am so sorry. I will support you.

Except they hold those positions through a mix of anti-democratic tactics such as gerrymandering and voter supression in the House and anti-democratic aspects of our system that give a disporportionate say to a minority of rural voters in the case of the Senate and Electoral College.
