This is what 45% of this country wants

Umm, my life is actually better than it was 4 years ago, although that has little to do with who's in the WH. 

And, gee, perhaps the reason many women are depressed and anxious is because they're realizing that they're going back to being second class citizens, with less bodily autonomy than corpses?

Oh my God, he’s gonna make it necessary for me to gather up all of my Italian women friends and we’re gonna bring all our wooden spoons and then we’re gonna beat Donald Trump with the wooden spoons every time he says **** this stupid. I’ll Just smack him right in his forehead, with one of my three favorites big wood spoons…. You know, for stirring the meatballs on the Sunday sauce.  Then I’ll let some of the other ladies smack them on his behind. Smack him on his mouth, we got hundreds of places we could smack him.

Unfortunately, then we’ll have to throw these tools away.  Don’t worry
Don, we’ve got more, and We will make as many return trips as it takes to get the message through your gabadost.
 

He’s a gigantic orange stoonad.

I'm not Italian, but can I join you anyway?

I think some women may be depressed, but ever since the Roe v. Wade overturn, women seem more empowered and motivated than ever to take part in the whole process. 

Waiting for these rise in crime statistics..........haven't seen them yet.    In fact, crime has gone down.    I mean, there's freaking cameras EVERYWHERE now, I don't know how anyone gets away with a serious violent crime.  

 

Joe Biden was supposed to let all the violent criminals go free and was going to pay for the government to throw them parties:  Whoops:  Crime is down

Joe Biden will destroy this economy 
Stock Market is setting records.  Rich are getting richer than ever (but still hate Joe)

Eggs will be $9 a carton because of Joe Biden's inflation
Inflation was worldwide and the U.S. is coming out of it faster than anyone.  In fact - Disinflation is happening at a record pace under Biden

Gas will be $7 a gallon
We're the #1 oil-producing country in the world now and gas prices are much cheaper here than just about anywhere else.   

Rob Schneider won't be allowed to tell racist, sexist and homophobic jokes under a woke nation.  Well, let me know when he comes up with a joke in the first place.  Rob needs to focus on getting his daughter through rehab.   

Now they say if Harris is elected the Auto Companies will DIE !   Yes, that is actually in an add - they will DIE !    Why?  electric vehicles.   The big auto companies in the US are moving towards electric vehicles no  matter who is President.  They aren't turning back from that and it has nothing to do with being "woke"

I can't be part of this.  If you let me join, I'll be like Michael Bolton going after the copier in Office Space.......Pure rage will take over and it will take several people to pull me away. 

  Hi Secret Service.  This is in jest.  I won't hit anyone with a stick and don't really own actual weapons

We're not depressed, we're exhausted.  Having to deal with friends, family and colleagues who used to be normal, rational, intelligent people evolve into racist, hateful, knuckle dragging cult followers sucks the life out of you.  They won't  follow what the Pope says about immigrants, but they will listen to Trump.  There is no fact they can't twist or distort to fit their Trumpian view of the world.  After hearing **** like, the Stock Market is doing well because they know Trump is coming back and Trump might not be the best person, but Biden supports abortion, so he can't call himself a Catholic...or my Priest told us not to watch the Olympics because they mocked the Last Supper...welp, I give up.

Were they really normal, rational people or did they just hide their hate and bigotry because it was considered taboo (whereas now they are being told it's OK)?

AOC is 100% right when she says “If you run for years, and years, and years, and years, and years in a row, and your party has not grown, and you don't add city council seats, and you don't add down-ballot candidates, and you don't add state electeds, that's bad leadership."

Yes-many are exhausted and tired of having to keep fighting to keep the same rights. This is, of course, exactly what our opponents want, so that we'll give up.

nothing in human history is ever settled. Every generation not willing to stand up for the good things they have gained will lose them. Not many of the cultures that have moved human history have understood this long enough to endure as long as the US already has. Tired is not a viable choice.

Adding to that exhaustion, just real anger and disappointment when there were so many people that swore that Roe vs. Wade was established law and was not going to be challenged or overturned. 
And shame on us for somehow believing that.

Yes. And the legislature had decades to codify it. That's one thing that will need to be addressed seriously if we get Roe vs. Wade back.

This is in reference to recent polling (particularly the national polling), but these guys are having a hard time understanding that the biggest theme of this race before the Biden-Trump debate was that Americans hated both choices. Like, setting aside my personal feelings about Biden, this is what I frequently heard from people in my own life whenever this discussion came up in the months preceding that debate. But that's not the choice anymore.... one of the parties went through an existential crisis and ended up with a different candidate. And changed the contours of the election.

It's really easy to understand, just think it's hard for some to grapple with this reality.... even post debate, Trump isn't a beloved figure to a majority of Americans, and this is his third run at the Presidency; opinion on the guy is basically calcified.
