It's not even a Democracy anyway, It amazes me that people still believe the ruling class would ever let peasants simply 'Vote' their power & wealth away.Public figures are massaged to serve the higher purpose, nothing more. That's partly the reason voter turnout is constantly falling. Sheer disillusionment with the fabricated, Capitalist Oligarchy.
That said I agree with Charlie too. This will affect my family & friends but it will not affect me as there's no chance I'm ever going to move back to that slowly sinking, tar pit.
On another positive & depressing not. I was proud to be part a vigil last night supporting the LGBT community. Another truly disgusting attack on the people by a cowardly little bigot ****.
I was at one too Stateside. So shocking. And deplorable that Trump is exploiting it in his usual crude and ignorant way.
