Don't give up. You might not hear about it often, yet there are thousands not giving up just here in this valley, across all those issues.

Heck even grade schoolers are protesting here.

I think it was the states that pushed legal weed and sanctuary status that alerted the other states they could make abortion a states rights issue (open carry too).

People give Trump too much credit. I don’t believe that our country will go back to the way it was before the 60s. Trump is only playing his political part, like all the others before him. His time will be over soon enough. And the beat goes on ……

They say that hope is the last thing that leaves a person when dying … fortunately, you’re still alive ..

Hope is illusory. It accomplishes nothing and merely prolongs the agony of losers. Hard work and determination coupled with personal responsibility is what makes a difference. You can think otherwise but that’s just, pardon me, hope.

@redredred everybody needs hope . it lets us all hang on just a little longer . and sometimes that is all it takes
Lies kept everyone believing that the USA was something it was not!
The evil is still real.

@markinkansas
Political Action Committees (PACs) are private organizations formed to raise and spend money to elect or defeat candidates

Which is why voting is a waste of time.

People are up in arms about voter restrictions, but since votes do not actually matter to begin with, why be upset?
@HoeBag you may want to ENDLESSLY review to stop progress. Define review. Define progress! Define waste of time!

That’s what happens when you elect a con man, who thinks he’s above the law

@Strictmichael75 here is a odd thought he might create problems for his own party .. if he runs for a third term.. it means obama can also.. his own laws well be used against the republic party.. the tic for tax is not a good thing..

@markinkansas tit for tat is what made abortion a states rights issue. It was only after some states declared legal weed and sanctuary status that the red states did it too
