15. Living through that was daily and hourly traumatizing...
Wed Sep 4, 2024, 08:10 AM
Sep 2024

reading a synopsis of some of it now was triggering and exhausting. I had to stop 3/4 of the way through and ask why I was putting myself through reliving those memories. Electing Biden was healing and helpful to the people of this country, but that m'effer and his MAGA contingent still had to stay in the game to continue to pound us. We're saddled with his 'won't go away soon enough for me' legacy on the Supreme Court. This rotten apple has stunk up the barrel hardcore.

Like the real trauma that this all was, one may tend to erase it out of mind to survive in sanity, and thankfully, things are so much more sane with Biden at the helm, it makes it possible. But now it is important to not forget the shear amount of ways and means this menace took to destroy us. Thank you for posting this - it needs to be front of mind. Hopefully that will help folks have the same sense of urgency we had in 2020 to do all they can to prevent his re-election. I hope it gets shared widely - and maybe read by some who weren't paying attention to all of it at the time. Knowledge is power.

Oh - and I don't know what MAGA voter deserves any apology - I did not read the link, just the litany of Trump fukery, but they are ones that the owe the world, and all living things in it an apology.
