Hi, understand your dilemma have similar friends, discovered its best not to respond unless in sotto voice and suggest may be the it might be good to do with some fact checking, they aren’t going to change until it affects them personally. Then listen tothe cries for mercy. Tthen be merciful.
Finding the middle may be harder for you than they, the is a good place to be.

I was introduced to your community through probably the best friend i have ever had she is still in NYC my life took me on a long journey from artist , socially conscious human being who lost herself trying to fix her supposed soulmate for 15 yrs .the journey has taken me up and down the east coast several times trying to find my way back to myself . The current state of our nation has me disgusted, disturbed , dumbfounded …I have never been a fan of capitalism but do believe that any political system religion or ideology of any sort can be perverted . I get angry wh ed n people don th even realize we never were a democtacy . We were a democratic republic but more of an oligarchy headed toward an orwellian dystopia if shit doesnt change . I have no problem with the word socialism

I am a retired Canadian who has been looking on at the state of US politics since the 2016 election and I am very angry that the US people have been accosted by such a blatant attempt at subversion. I have a Masters degree in Sociology and an MBA and I look upon this situation with great interest in an effort to come to an understanding of why the US finds itself in the situation it is currently in. I have many friends Stateside and I am dismayed at the situation they find themselves in. I am looking forward to much pertinent discussion of the political climate in your country.

Hi, y’all! :nerd_face: yes I am a transplant from OR, CA, and, TX to Smyrna, GA. I have 3 adult children and 7 grands. I was active in the women’s movement for years, but health problems keep me pretty close to home now. My old blog shut down so am super delighted to find this one! Oh, and I am a politics junkie and a reader. And, apropos of nothing, Friday, 3/8, is my 78th birthday.

Hi, long term resident of Thailand here- former chair for Democrats Abroad in my town- but moving to the big city so no longer have my DA facebook page to vent on. WFJHT has been invaluable to me- keeps me sane and not having to read everything, so thanks for maintaining my sanity. I shared this website on the DA facebook page many times. Hope it brought many subscribers!

Been getting the email newsletter for a few months now, finally joining the community. Have never paid so much attention to politics in my life as I do now. Although, it may be argued, I’m actually paying attention to the continual clusterf*ck rather than politics. I know for sure I’ve never been as emotionally invested. At least weekly I tell myself I’m going to stop keeping up with the latest news (to protect my fraying sanity), but I’m always back to it the next day, somehow afraid to miss the next outrageous event. I’m so tired…

This is evergreen. :evergreen_tree: welcome, you’ve found the right place, my friend. Remember folks, you can always check the current political status on @matt’s other site https://currentstatus.io

Take a deep breathe and let it out slowly. You can relax. :herb:
