3. I am not celebrating this country

as it stands today. While I admire President Biden and Vice President Harris, and those standing up for Democratic values in both houses of Congress, I am too sad and angry that what for the most part used to be the loyal opposition, has turned into nothing but a fringe hate group run by a cabal of crazed lunatics. Not to mention their asshat followers who vote for them.

Also too many rights, that brave and good people gave their blood, sweat,tears, and even their lives for, are being swiped away by a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites, who claim to to be doing it, in the name of a sacred being, but are truly doing all their villiany in the name of greed and power, the only deities they truly serve.

In my opinion we are as far away from being the country of freedom and equality, then we have ever been in my 61 years on this earth. I cannot celebrate that we are moving backwards and no longer forward.

Since the Magats have come to power with the big orange turd as their leader I have begun to wish my European ancestors had never left their homelands. I wouldn't have been born, but hey in light of the state of things now, that might have been preferable. Sorry to be a downer too, but it's how I honestly feel.
