I think those of us on the left need to take a long look in the mirror and have an honest conversation about whats going on. If you had told me three years ago that I would ever attend a Donald Trump rally, I would have laughed and assured you that was never going to happen. Heck, if you had told me I would do it three months ago, I probably would have done the same thing. So, how did I find myself among 11,000-plus Trump supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire? Believe it or not, it all started with knitting.
You might not think of the knitting world as a particularly political community, but youd be wrong. Many knitters are particularly active in social justice communities and love to discuss the revolutionary role knitters have played in our culture. I started noticing this about a year ago, particularly on Instagram. I knit as a way to relax and escape the drama of real life, not to further engage with it. But it was impossible to ignore after roving gangs of online social justice warriors started going after anyone in the knitting community who was not lockstep in their ideology. Knitting stars on Instagram were bullied and mobbed by hundreds of people for seemingly innocuous offenses. One man got mobbed so badly that he had a nervous breakdown and was admitted to the hospital on suicide watch. Many things were not right about the hatred, and witnessing the vitriol coming from those I had aligned myself with politically was a massive wake-up call.

Even reformed lefties like this one are obsessed with race. Youd think they get tired of it.
Thanks for the link. POWERFUL messaging. HOORAY Chief.
No shot? Poor choice of words. They will try to eliminate Trump “by any means necessary”.
Assassination is NOT off the table.
Pray for Trump. Pray for the USSS.
Pray HARD!
I saw that she picked up 2000 new followers on Twitter overnight. Obviously there is interest in hearing this message.
I taught yoga for eons at a local college. I learned about Hinduism... and Zen is just another aspect of Buddhism. Buddha was actually an INDIAN named Sitharth Gautama. So the Buddha SHOULD look like an Indian, either NO hair or a TON of hair. The Chinese changed the Indian Buddha to look Chinese.
The Chinese have thousands of gods and goddesses, like the Hindus. There were kitchen gods, garden gods...you name it. Some Indian women made their husband "god."
The ONE GOD religion of Judaism and Christianity was a world altering change for the good.
When my husband and I traveled to India he was positive that SOMEONE there was worshiping a '56 Chevy. The Chinese had a PANTHEON of gods. They still do, if the Beijing Comrades don't catch them.
Too bad she still believes the lies(from her twitter link):
“Well to be fair, the moderates split the vote between Amy and Pete. That was all I was hearing the last few days before the primary, is people choosing between those two.’
OMG that is incredible
Google
The word Latin ecclesia, from Greek ekklesia, where the word is a compound of two segments: "ek", a preposition meaning "out of", and a verb, "kaleo", signifying "to call" - together, literally, "to call out". Although that usage soon passed away and was replaced with "assembly, congregation, council", or "convocation".
In other words it means "getting together for worship." And it doesn't mean "online."
I see this as one who remains a Marxist but understands that Trump rules the roost.Nothing more,nothing less.

I’m a conservative, but I really wasn’t too sure about Trump in 2016. My husband insisted that we go to Trump’s Connecticut rally.
I went in as a skeptic, and left as a believer. After attending the rally, and seeing him in person, I knew he would win.
Trump’s greatest talent, IMHO, is his ability to connect with the “common man.” After that rally, I knew he had my side in the fight.
Wow, insane sociopaths can knit! Who knew?
She is not one of the insane sociopaths, she obviously has an open mind!!

Judging by the things you said in your post, I perceive that you might appreciate the information contained in this video.
I was quite surprised when I first saw it, and it has a message which I think you may appreciate. Also, you too Handy Dandy and Doodle Dawg, whom I am also linking just to show that I do talk about other things.
Read the article. I was referring to the cancel culture thugs that drove some guy into the hospital.
I disagree. I think they have a helluva shot. I didn’t think they had a shot back in 2016. Yet, they managed to win the popular vote. Thank God for the electoral college. Don’t EVER drop your guard when it comes to the dems.
I hope Connecticut will turn out Dems in Hartford this November. Ned LaMont is making Dan Malloy look like a conservative (and he wasn’t one!).
Beautiful.
I walked away after 9/11. What took them so long?
That’s what Pelosi ripped in half.
