10. This Country survived a Civil War

Sun Jan 19, 2025, 02:09 PM

Jan 19

We survived the Spanish flu, we survived the crash of 1929 then survived the Great Depression. We survived the horrific WWII, we survived the Cold War, we survived the Vietnam war that tore this Country apart, We survived the Reagan years (and as a Gay man that was a miracle), we survived 911 & the Bush years, we survive the pandemic against all odds with trump as President.

My friend, we will survive the next four years. Remember, it's always darkest before the dawn.

“You have nothing to fear but fear itself” is a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inaugural address on March 4, 1933. It means that people can accomplish great things if they face problems head-on instead of being held back by fear.
