In the evenings, if we turn on the television, it is to watch an episode or two of The Crown. I am behind in all social network reading and it has been a wonderful vacation for both of us.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-22329970211736947652017-02-15T06:32:23.252-08:002017-02-15T06:32:23.252-08:00I get it.

I reacted much as you have, and a decade or so ago, realized that I had to step back, and calm down. My 1st husband practically thrashed me when he found out I wouldn't vote for George Wallace, 100 years ago. My second husband DID smack me up when he found out I would not vote for David Duke in the primary. One of my long time friends quit speaking to me when she found out I didn't vote for Obama, so...........I have a bad taste in my mouth about politics now. Neither party is what they were, back in the day, or what they should be now. I'm a Moderate--there is no place for me in today's political world.

The only thing that saves me just a little, is I also offered two avenues of "action."<br /><br />Politics is a life long passion of mine. There was a time when I pulled back for a while but I'm like a moth drawn to fire. I'm always drawn back.<br /><br />You need to understand the root of my anger is the Democratic Party. Apathy (me included) allowed the Party to get in such a mess a space was created for Donald Trump.<br /><br />It's so much more than Democrats being out of power and Republicans being in power. The Republican Party is as messed up as the Democratic Party. I can't fix the Republican Party but I can have a small part in fixing the Democratic Party.<br /><br />I have to disagree there's nothing I can do about the situation. I can be an informed voice that reaches out to my children, friends, family, blog readers that comment, and those who read and never comment.<br /><br />I can donate money and make people aware of organizations working to correct the abuses of human rights, including voting rights.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-9064997589575139452017-02-13T07:32:19.550-08:002017-02-13T07:32:19.550-08:00Why do you watch all of this if it makes you so an...Why do you watch all of this if it makes you so angry? You don't have any control over any of it. The Democratic Party got comfortable and a bit blase' in their thinking and now they have four years to get it back together. Are you going to be angry for the next four years? Do all you can do with your letters and such, but try and keep your BP under control, or you will make yourself sick and be less effective.
