Hmmm I seem to be at least as old as you and I respectfully disagree with your perspective. And I too am on a special list for airports and other etc which discreetly, shall not give any further details. What does that have to do with anything? Being on a special list doesn't mean that either one of our perspectives is correct, it only means we shouted a bit too loudly into the wind.

Anyway. The right has been batshit, true. But the left has now entered the twilight zone, they adore fascism and totalitarianism with a fervor which would make Stalin and Mussolini proud. I can't see them giving that up anytime soon and it appears to be getting worse with every passing year. Republicans have never attempted to coerce people to lie about basic reality the way liberals are currently. Humans cannot change our sex, this is fundamental on the same level as denying basic laws of gravity. Once a government agrees -- as the liberals do -- that it's acceptable to code outright lies about biology into law and practice which then requires obedience, then what other lies will that government demand?

You sound like you are afraid of the ghost of christmas past, while orwell himself is knocking on your door.

If anyone cares about the environment (and the West Coast is burning), health care, a comprehensive plan to tackle COVID, COVID monetary relief for the average person, FOOD & WATER SAFETY STANDARDS, funding for education.. I could just go on, vote for the Democrats.

The Democrats, no matter how demented they are about the gender issue, can be reasoned with, Trump cannot.

The Far Left has very little power - they are being used to get people scared that if Biden wins the US will disintegrate.

Joe Biden is a neo-Liberal - he's a corporate goon. He's not going to turn this country into the USSR.

Democrats like Biden and Harris are only slightly less corporatist than the Republicans, but the Democrats will occasionally throw average Americans a bone, whereas today's GOP work for the 0.1% and corporations only.

There are very powerful forces, both private (Soros) and other countries who fund agent provocateurs like some of these goons running around rioting while pretending they're with BLM. The New York Times had an interview with top US intelligence agents in March saying that Putin was going to do his best to disrupt the election using these kinds of tactics.

If you'll notice this whole Black Lives Matter and similar incidents designed to set races against each other came up in 2016 and then disappeared. To some extent, the transgender push, partially funded by Soros (he was the largest funder internationally for years) is another tactic to set people against each other.

But again, the Democrats are not Far Left, they are neo-Liberals, but they will do a little bit to help versus the GOP who couldn't give a shit about us.

And if you don't care about all the things I named above, maybe care about the fact that Trump seems to be having dementia-like and neurological issues and has his finger on the nuclear trigger.

Also, Trump has made it clear by his actions that he has no respect for the rule of law. He has a fanatical base that seem ready to die for him. Let's hope they fight it out with Antifa and leave the rest of us alone.

In regards to me being on the special screening list, after being pulled aside for body searches for the umpteenth time, I asked the agent. He confirmed that I was on a list. Since I have never committed, much less been been prosecuted for, a crime, but had been lobbying Congress against Iraq War II, I can only assume that my anti-war efforts were responsible for be being on an airport screening list.

Oh and war, while the Democrats are equally war-mongers, in the Middle East especially, Our Donald, with his "peace treaty" (with Arab nations that weren't at war and were already cooperating with the US and with Israel) and accusations that Iran is trying to assassinate a US ambassador, is setting us up for an attack on Iran.

Many of the Dems want it too, but they're not likely to use nuclear weapons (although who knows) but Donnie is crazy enough to use nuclear weapons.

And then, our Covid Summer will seem like a happy memory as Nuclear (+COVID) winter descends on the world.
