I feel like America right now is dangerously close to where Germany was between the World Wars. All the propaganda & double speak & bigotry bubbling to the surface. I’m horrified by the Holocaust & terrified of something similar here. Nazis lost 3 elections before they took power
@painting_tlc Yeah but they aren’t nearly as scary as the people with hair triggers, who seem perfectly happy & relaxed until the second they fly into a rage. I prefer the predictably grouchy.

@GordonRupe I believe adoption is more affordable if you do it through the foster care system not privately. Which again ought to be rewarded as taking in orphans is a public good.
