sctiger - I totally get what you’re saying and there is no part of me that can agree to disagree on racism and basic human rights. However, how do we get past this? The Q theories have taken a hold of a large chunk of our population and it’s destroying friendships, families, and our society. All of this based off lies. I feel like there has to be some sort of regulation on speech like this, similar to hate speech. I just don’t know if that’s realistic. And if it’s not, then I don’t know where we go from here. ETA - grammar is hard I’ve been thinking about this a lot, too, and it makes me feel hopeless, honestly. There are so many people who believe the Q nonsense without even realizing that’s where it originated. It’s made its way into more mainstream outlets and then we have Republican officials repeating and going along with it. So of course people are going to take it as fact. It’s such a tangled web. My two aunts are currently not speaking to my dad because he said some stuff to them about tRump and they are so mad at him. They were all raised very Republican, but my dad seems to be the only one who can see right through him. His sisters think it’s criminal he voted for Biden. It’s upsetting to me. These are family relationships that are probably being forever damaged. And they are all smart, kind, educated people. It’s crazy. My dad just can’t believe they are still on the tRump train.

That was not a cat on a keyboard. It's just the only way I can express my feelings. Girl, I had a tweet response I had to delete because I don’t think the NSA would approve. So much rage.

Speaking of press secretaries. He means former president, right? Because there is no way I believe Biden would endorse her for anything.

Ok. Let’s rally. What can we do in Arkansas? Who are our boots on the ground? I’ve still got postcards I can use. If Georgia taught me anything, it’s that voter suppression is what works to keep the south red. Let’s gooooo.
*This might be fueled by my absolute hatred of SHS.

H was talking about that this morning. It's long overdue. Have you read the independent report out of Fort Hood? It’s horrifying but utterly and depressingly unsurprising. Basically SHARP was never great to start with and is utterly useless when leadership doesn’t take it seriously. Happy to see a newly minted SecDef take the issue on prominently; I hope they follow through. www.army.mil/forthoodreview/

I would agree with you, but having spent a fair amount of my life in various parts of the state, Arkansas is the reddest red of all the reds and they worship the Huckabees. ETA: I don’t mean we shouldn’t try, just trying to give some Arkansas perspective

SHS announcement and Hawley weaseling into MO made me a bit panicked because our gov can’t run again (thank goodness). Now I’m wondering who from this shit show is working on relocating to this state for their chance. Hopefully no one, it really isn’t for everyone, but do I put that on a paper and burn it? I’m clearly spiraling.

ETA: I don’t mean we shouldn’t try, just trying to give some Arkansas perspective I’m from a state that happily elected garbage troll Pete Ricketts as governor. So I understand to some extent. But I’m trying to keep my energy up and not get complacent just because we ousted Trump. These state elections are just as important to changing the country. Even if it seems impossible and we still lose. Which I know you know. Just talking out loud.

I also plan on throwing my energy into kicking Ron Johnson out in 2022 as a local goal.

First question I think bunnyfungo is whether there is a candidate identified to run against SHS. Maybe reaching out to their local democratic party?
