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.
