    In other words, the perfect wedge issue. And if race and gender aren't good enough to make us hate each other, we can also do Boomers vs Gen Jones vs Gen X vs Xennial vs Gen Z vs Gen Alpha. "Don't trust anyone over 30" has morphed into "Hate everyone not within 10 years of your age." All by design.

    I gotta keep a spreadsheet to make certain I'm not friends with all the people I'm told to hate, which is pretty much everyone other than people of my sex and my race and my political views aged 60-80...unless they're here illegally, then I'm mandated to love all of them.

    I believe we can discuss just about anything on this forum as long as the discussion remains civil.

    Yeah, I know he’s dead but if dead people can vote, I say they can run for office too.

    Que Sera Sera. I don't believe we really have a choice anymore, but at the same time I hope we do.

    If Kamala wins, I am definitely done with voting. The country will have finally taken a turn that I don't care to participate in.

    If Harris wins, I don't think there will ever be a legitimate national election again. I kinda agree with Musk on that. The illegals will all be made citizens, or at least de facto voters and the entire nation will become California. The Dems all already talking (called prebunking) that votes are miscounted, voting machines don't work, etc. They are doing the election denying already if you listen to MSNBC and CNN. The lies that are being broadcast are just amazing: Trump wants to execute Liz Cheney, Trump wants to take credit cards away from all women, Trump supports a nationwide abortion ban, etc. His first term belies all those claims , but....

    What would you call the people who believe any of the above?

    Good or bad. right or wrong. It will all work out at some point.
    I let this election get to me- first time ever- but I am done with worry and concern over something I
    cannot change with a single vote.
