Owning the Libs

I think most people, well, maybe most, maybe not........ Most people I would think, try to find some ray of hope or anything that can lift their spirits from the sad places they sometimes find themselves in. There's no unhappier place right now than the United States of America. In my lifetime, I have never seen such chronically intense unhappiness; not even back in the struggle for Civil Rights and Stop the Vietnam War days.

Uncertainty about the future seems to seep into every social media interaction. Everything has become politicized, contested, sometimes violently. Until Charli Kirk's death, I was willing to admit neither the Right nor the Left were guiltless for the hateful tone of our current times. The Right's across the board knee jerk reaction immediately after Charlie was shot tells me the Right doesn't want cooperation, bipartisanship, or share any of their toys with the rest of us. They want more Hate. They want more Chaos. They no longer care if they destroy the country as we know it. All they want is to "Own the Libs".

Well, the MAGA crowd can go Fuck themselves. I am now more than ever, hoping to one day, see the Right utterly defeated. 

That's all I have today. Saying anything more might get me fired...... Oh yeah, I forgot for a moment, I'm retired now. 

Later ...............................

Rage Against the Machine may just be my favorite Angry Band. They are not a Ballad band, a Pop Band; they are an angry band. This live version of "Killing in the Name Of" is 32 years old. As anyone with a brain can tell, nothing has changed for the better since then. Matter of fact, life is harder, crazier, and the horizon does not hold as much hope as it use to.
