He is my perfect example of how to not act or think. When I think about something, I just ask myself, is this what tRump might think and then stop if it is. Very useful.

Let’s look at the positive things that trump has accomplished. He has shown us the problems still facing us number one being racism, my rose-colored glasses shattered...I mistakenly thought that things were getting better...now we can see the deep racism infecting the country.

My neighbors Have never voted in their entire adult life, including a quite extensive extended family. They are voting this election along with their entire families. This is true of not just one neighbor but both on either side of me. This is huge, not state swinging huge but I’m in a rural part of Michigan which is quite heavily red. Trump pushed them into giving a shit about politics.
Adding it up roughly comes to about 45 people, small ripple but a ripple can become a wave.

I believe that the way he handled this virus may have taught us not to be complacent about the problems of emerging diseases...we should be better prepared in the future.

His presidency pointed out that we should vet our candidates for public office, especially president, in a better system than we have now.

As devastating as this administration has been while acknowledging the damage done...let’s hope that the good it’s fostered in communities across America continues to grow and change us for the better.

Vote like your family’s life depends on your vote, cuz it does.

Mb had to get so bad for a sea change.

I'm grateful for the awakening in people.

Humanity has been thru many horrendous tribulations since time immemorial. You read in historical accounts. But actually living one....

'he' alone was bad enuff, then the covid struck.
