I listened to Michael Moore. I got about 2/3 through and I was upset; so I started to recollect that as much as he’s talking about white male privilege. I review all the sexual assault I’ve had as a child and rapes at 18 -three such after. Also PTSD for many things, I’m dealing with, yes too little family contact. Husband dead for 18 years. And now I sit in my living room, wondering if my son is alive or dead ( AGAIN ) since his recurrent Meth use ( there’s the bomb going off in my back yard)! So the other one with a serious mental disability, whereby in Iowa especially, well the entire nation, no real help for mental differences, difficulties and hence substance abuse, etc. Just more abuse, from the cold fascists types here, that enjoy kicking dogs while they lay in the streets. I’m thinking FU Michael Moore. The bombs may not be going off in my backyard but just the same they’ve been going off in my head all my life and I’m going on 75. However, I must say Paul you woke me up, especially with the scene of children being burned alive in the hospital and yes, pretty much agree with every negative, about the DAMN Dems. I’ve been pissed off forever since McGovern didn’t get in lol. However, you brought to my eye an opening. I think I’m gonna slow it down but yes, not really, ( my family is already lost). Yes we have to get rid of what’s going on and the only way to get rid of what’s going on is everything you laid out? I don’t know political agendas. I’m not even sure you do with what Biden could’ve really done. I suppose there could’ve been“executive privilege” or “presidential”order? Yes dogma somehow, that he could’ve had trump arrested/INCARCERATED for TREASON. I see the folly that the Dems are and have been and yes, Kamala. And so I tell myself that it’ll slow it down. I have my absentee ballot, probably in Iowa, even not to be counted(?) So this time around and I marked off all Democrats, ( AGAIN) because I thought it was not just: ‘for the lesser evil as 2016; it was voting ‘against the worst evil. But I’m beginning to think I am splitting hairs (AGAIN) here and it won’t slow down. My life is pretty much so damaged and I can strictly say it’s a lot of the ardent misogyny that’s rampant and why most men are voting for trump and I can say for my male sons it’s not just the fact that they’ve gone through the judicial system horrendously and I know now I hate prosecutors, they can act willy-nilly and don’t even have to say anything or really DO anything, they get what they want, since they’re the real power in the court room. So yes no real proof on any charge they want to push thru! I learned that they don’t have to prove anything. And she is an ardent prosecutor. Yes so I must admit I am all for everything you said. I’m not sure if Biden could’ve done that much with just executive orders, but I will give you this, all out revolution. But how is that possible without rocking the boat for so many Americans that think they’re safe, with their jobs and their neighborhoods and their car, etc., but they need to know that this mental grip like what grab my sons, granted were not as wealthy maybe as who I’m speaking of, but drug addiction is out there, mental illnesses ( especially in this climate of mass hysteria especially that HISteria of trump/GOP)! Yes out there certainly for women, sexual abuse and what’s gone on for the last eight years the display from trump and GOP and Vance’s rhetoric and behaviors that have saturated the sick male identity in this country is most damaging! Yes violence coming in every woman’s way, so I see the only way out of here, is all out revolution but the catch 22 is :who the fuck is going to join me in Iowa.

P.S. Me, you, I know this will fall on the eyes and ears of the poor, minorities, immigrants. LGBTQ… yes we need good hearts to beat behind the badge tooand we need to join hands of one another and go on knowing there is only one way out.
