They're basically demanding a return to the spoils system, right? They might want to be careful what they wish for.

I think other places have spotlighted different parts of it. Basically it's a plan to end the two party system.
In a direction that won't surprise you.

Wow I love my country and feel so safe and cozy here as a trans person. transshork-sad

I'm a hetero white male. But I have plenty of gay and lesbian friends. I have a couple lesbian family members and one that might be trans (I never asked and never will, i love them whatever they want to do). And my brother was bi. So yeah, I feel for you.

Land of the free, amiright. It's pathetic. These scummy asshole rejects should have been called out and stopped years ago.

Thank you, comrade. It’s scary out there.

Don't ever feel like you can't be yourself.

trans-heart Spent too much of life not being myself to go back now! Ain’t going to let any damn nazis tell me who I can and cannot be.

I feel that. I didn't know who I was, or comfortable with who I am, until I was in my 30's.

Life is not easy for a lot of us.

Glad that you’re more comfortable with you are now! Yeah. Everyone I know my age(late 20’s) is struggling right now. Breaks my heart. We gotta believe things can and will get better though.

Confidence wise, things do get better.
General life struggles... I'm the wrong person to say anything about that lol.

But really things get better when you open your eyes to better things, in my experience. Disregard the negative shit and just focus on other things. That's really all there is to it.

Not that that's easy. But overall that's all it is.
You got this, JC
