They should not have been here but they were. The children were thrown into a bad situation by their own parents and years of mixed signals from the US. If Trump wanted to take a bold stance, to the point of detaining parents and putting their children in foster homes or shelters, he should have been prepared. Resources to responsibly care for the children could not keep up with the need. Some children were lost in the system and took time to locate and later unite with their families. It was total chaos. Then, Trump backed down. All of that for nothing? It didn't inspire confidence. The debt, oh yeah, he blamed the spending bill on the Democrats but he signed it. Our debt went up to the tune of 8 trillion, in part because of his tax cuts. The time for Trump to have stopped Covid was before it happened. It has been reported that he wanted to fire Fauci and was talked out of it. Fauci must have had his attention for some reason. He didn't know about the research? It is his job to know about those things. When it broke out, he downplayed it. He is on record saying he did this to avoid public hysteria. Well, we got the hysteria anyway and we deserve truth. Trump is the one that pushed the vaccinations through. Then he got one himself and publicized it. I don't know what to think of the vaccination. It sounds like a money grab. But, Trump is not innocent of his part in that.
It isn't that I care what my friends think of me. I care about the division the DEI is causing. I care about the great divide that Biden verses Trump brings. My core group of friends are a second family to me. Watching the negative impact the civil unrest is having, at the hands of the government, on people I care about is upsetting. I'm not one to sweat the small stuff. I am getting to a point of impasse. My girl and I have very good lives. But, our discussion on getting the hell out of dodge and starting over in a rural area are becoming more serious. It pisses me off that this country has gotten so screwed up. So, poor me. It could be worse. This makes me hate Biden and whoever is behind the push to divide.
I've never given birth but my niece and nephew are my own. My niece will be going into her senior year of high school. The adults in my family are wrestling with the path we've worked so hard to get her on. The unrest on college campuses is inexcusable. My niece is agreeable to reconsidering her college choice. That will work out. But, it shouldn't be like this.
You've got a point that I am part of the problem or part of the solution in terms of voting. I'm in a state of coming to terms with how bad things have gotten. I should stop oozing negativity all over this forum until I can shake this dark cloud.
