Remember when it was actually fun

getting on line and going after right wing Repubs: Back in The Bush Day's. Romney's run for president. O'bama being attacked by Right Wing idiots etc. Yea we all got pissed and let curse words fly on our posts... But! I looked forward to getting on line..

But with Trump... it has become depressing... This guy is so fucking sick and does so many stupid things plus he's just a horror to watch..

No it just ain't no fun anymore.. Fuckhead ruined it all!

2. The Bush years were not fun for me.

I spent much of the time in despair over our Third Reich-style blitzkrieg of Iraq, Dick Cheney's matchless evil, GWB's humiliating blockheadedness, the dumbing down of our country, the coarsening of our public debate, etc.

DU got me through much of that, and I got to meet wonderful new people here. But George W. Bush's soul-deadening administration was not a good time for me...

where I am afraid to put a political sign in my front yard or in my car window for fear of some crazed Trumpers doing some vandalizing.
They really are bat shit crazy and dangerous.

7. I'm the same way. Especially knowing they are the ones who carry.

It's too dangerous to even but a bumper sticker on your car showing support for your candidate. I feel like I'm living in the movie The Purge.

5. It's not fun ridiculing someone that is ill. I'm the primary caregiver for my mother in law

with dementia and I see it every day in tRump. He needs help. That performance at the Easter egg roll was embarrassing giving speeches to kids about the economy, military, and immigration. It's like he didn't know where he was.

Yep and our country is in extreme danger with him at the helm! I'm not sure what you mean..."It's not fun ridiculing someone that is ill?" He needs help? He's smart enough to still rule his party.. He's pure evil and I could never show any empathy towards him. Never... He knows what he's doing... with a shovel of mean insanity.. Reminds me of Germany late 30s
