Hard Shadow Noon...

Powerful write, MS. I can relate. Appreciate you.

Just thinking about how the next few years are gonna be.

The steel workers union ( who supported Trump ) is none too happy this morning about him opposing the steel deal! You get what you vote for.

Right. A lot of young voters who don't know what a tariff is and what it does.

lolol @ Canada becoming the next state. LMAO!

I can't imagine that going over well in Ottawa:)

I was reading that there was a huge Latino vote too (mostly men). I just know the consequences will be incalculable.

I once worked with a guy from Mexico who was a MAGA dude and I was able to tease out that his support for Trump was basically a white supremacist overreaction to Obama.

Dude looked Mexican, except for being real white, and he mentioned at one point that his dad owned a business and that they had money.

Before meeting him I never really thought of Mexicans as being very racist, but what do I know.

Go figure.

One of my high school friends is now a pretty famous reporter, she was originally born in California, went to live in Mexico as a kid for a couple of years and then came back as teen. She used to tell me that there is a lot of racism there as well (more toward those of darker/indigenous features).

I was more in shock when my ex-wife told me she was a Trump supporter. Then I knew that there was a reason why we didn't get a long way back when.

You never really people I guess. They can hide their bigotry really well sometimes.

Totally, which is why my own social circle is shrinking as I age because I really have lost a lot of the faith I used to have in humanity.  

Conservatism is reducing people to barbarity all over the world.
