I guess some will call this a rant. It is like all the other things we have come up against in these last 5 years of destruction. Nothing will come of it. We are finished. We are bleeding to death. Nobody cares until something bad happens to them. They never do. They never understand how important it is to live and die buy the words, "I may disagree with what you say, I may hate it but I will defend your right to say it with my life." This is the same thing.
Whatever, it just doesn't matter anymore.
Liberals Vote for their own self interest.
Conservatives Vote for America’s self interest.
Liberals are no better than Looters.

Sadly you are correct. Most don’t care until their own lives are impacted.
