LOL, the generation ahead of me were stanch “Roosevelt Democrats” - kept telling me that Democrats were for the “little people like them” and Republicans were “for the rich” - never mind that all of them had done very well in life - and not due to Democrat policies - also that Roosevelt saved the world from Nazis and got us out of the Depression. Yes, they were that naïve.
You couldn’t convince them not to vote for Democrats, it all fell on deaf ears - and I was “too young and naïve to understand any of it” b/c they had “lived through the Depression and War years” and I hadn’t.
“Trump wants to take away our Social Security and Medicare!!”
When will that horrible woman sluff off her mortal coil and remain silent?
Sounds like you’re talking about my late dad who passed away in 2024 at the age of 88.
WW2 Navy vet, flew the flag on all the holidays, gun owner, devout Orthodox Christian churchgoer, wouldn’t be caught dead driving a “foreign” car, and had no use for “bums” who didn’t work or “women who have 5 kids to get a bigger welfare check.”
But pulled that D lever without fail his entire life no matter who was running. He had a pathological fear of “Republicans taking away my social security and Medicare,” and the only news media he consumed were the local paper, local 6/11 pm newscasts, top of the hour news updates on the radio, and the 6:30 NBC Nightly News.
He would tell me “you keep voting for those Republicans and one day you’ll end up selling apples on the street corner.”
So I understand exactly what you are saying.
Sorry typo, he passed in 2014
You are SOOO right!
Are you sure? The total T count in that crowd is probably double digits.

Wow, that protester who hit the officer with the end of the board holding his sign is the definition of FAFO!
Mostly Peaceful!
Wow. Reminds me of my ex wife when the mental problems and hatred of me and the violence during the “episodes” got so bad that I could not take it any more.
I really liked President Trump’s response on X to the no kings nonsense, but the left won’t get it because they don’t understand humor:
A HUGE THANK YOU to all the “No Kings” protestors yesterday! I was very concerned a king was trying to take my place, but thanks to your tireless efforts, I am STILL YOUR PRESIDENT! Great job all!!!
nothing made that more clear than a protest that amounted to nothing more than a “tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
I like Sasha
