but at the end of the day, they're just words and it's only a joke. I've been manic depressive my whole life and one thing I've learned above all else is NEVER lose your sense of humor!

I have a lifelong history of general depression, and my sister is bipolar, and that didn't even register as problematic with me.

I know the concern comes from a good place (ableism = ), but this one is a no issue, imo.

Makes you rethink some of the decisions you made in the past that shaped who you are today.

Maybe they will work out where they went wrong . . . backing a loser, buying the snake oil for whatever gain they thought would come their way . . . who knows, rebuilding your view of the world is such a personal thing.

But the process will be complete when they deny they ever voted the way they did.

The Fickle Finger of the permanently deluded!

In the mind of some, a strong leader is one who destroys.

Conversely, a weak leader is . . . well, someone like Joe Biden.
Working for the betterment of most Americans?
So weak!

Can't change that line of thinking, unfortunately.

Could be erroneously thinking that they will keep more of their money. Possibly a total lack of understanding that when everyone has work, food, health care and a roof over their heads we all have better, safer lives.
