need food and gas to survive.

Maybe Biden was set up I don't know but sadly these things are happening on his watch. We tend to blame those in power. It's not happening on this site but look at all the other sites. It's so plastered all over the place that it raises my stress level to a point I honestly think it's going to kill me.

When I try to explain to others I get harassed with disgusting pictures and the things that come out of there mouth gives me whiplash.

The people who wield the real power in the country have the ability to manipulate prices and voter attitudes. When we have six dollar gasoline in the Fall elections, it will be blamed on Democrats... It is a double win for big business and big money, they profit today from our suffering and then are able to continue the march to Corporatocracy and Fascist rule.

We, as a nation, have fallen so far from the principles of government by the people that we no longer have a "legal" way to regain Democracy. We continue to move farther to the right every day, and I see nothing on the horizon to slow or stop it. It is not that I am giving up, far from it, but facts are facts. We may well be enjoying our last few months of our pretend Democracy.

bigoted, hateful behavior since 2016 as well as their love for genocidal war criminal Putin, I wouldn't rule out ethnic cleansing.
