45. Just getting rid of trump is going to be a single step...

Fri Oct 31, 2025, 03:57 PM

Friday

I'm afraid the country is in for many long, arduous missteps before it finally finds its true footing. I say that because, from the very start of our founding, the ideals were great, but discrimination was built in. It'll be up to these new generations now to undo the mistakes of their ancestors and push the ideal that is America into existence. Unfortunately, I doubt seriously I'll be around to see it... or, even if I am still breathing my brain will probably be mush by then. But it still doesn't stop me from hoping with all my might that discrimination against Mother Earth, the animals we share this earth with, and women and POC can be overcome by a more enlightened generation.
