@LakotaMan1 They were told they would be bad Americans if they voted against Trump. Propagandists took advantage of patriotism to fool people into following a politician who didn’t care about them at all. Patriotism, and a smattering of racism, made an easy Trump victory in the countryside.
There’re times
I feel #nostalgic
For past days
Of youthful fun
When only firearms
That we feared
Were our
Wee “finger guns”
This was before
“School shooters”
Took our innocence
And ran…
Past classrooms
Changing schooling
In ways hard
To understand

Stuck in a war of attrition
Elites play a game of chicken
Where troops are deployed
Countless lives destroyed--
Left grief and poverty stricken.

There has to be a way to prove the election of 2024 was fraudulent. Come on elected Democrats do your jobs. The people have loudly spoken - and we're so fed up w/Trump and his sycophants destroying our country and democracy.
Btw, do not trust Grok to be honest here
@heyjude714 Dems in swing states refused to go to polls as they protested Biden’s Palestine policies. No one could force Dems to vote for Harris. Just stupid.

I fell
For a zombie
When she
Had all her parts
We loved
In #liminal space
Trapped
Tween light & dark
Lost a leg
Then her heart—
That’s when
Our problems start
She refused
Her heart I found
Crushed beneath
A cart
I pressed it
Tween pages of
Poe’s
THE TELL-TALE HEART…

@maklelan@TheRhetorRick I disagree with Kim regarding the Bible and God, but I feel if he had made a faith-based/devotional statement without arrogant claims of high IQ, then he would’ve been fine. It’s the smarter-than-you claim that is defeating. Am I wrong?
I attended two funerals today. One was expected due to age, the other was not. But both men were sound, strong members of the church who were adored by their children and grandchildren.
Great stories and memories. It makes you wonder what people will say about you when that time comes.
Recommendation: Get right with God now. Get right with anyone you have problems with. It’s not worth taking with you to the other side.
@maklelan@HopefulTheism@Gnosisinformant Does Cipolla’s 2nd Law of Stupidity apply to high IQ guy: “The probability that a person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.” Is McClellan stating IQ doesn’t prevent someone from being stupid? His claims’re dogma based, not data, so stupid, right?
Can religious poetry be honest and well-crafted?
