We left the country for J4. I had no desire to celebrate our independence when the damned morons of this country decided independence was for better countries.
“F” the fascist MAGA voters. They screwed this country over until it's no longer great.
I wish they'd just move to Russia and get what they want there, and leave this country alone, but no. They're damned morons and can't help themselves.
damned morons.
I have an adult daughter with two children, and similar to your situation, she has yet to fully embrace adulthood. Allow me to clarify, during family reunions, birthday parties, or outings with large groups, if things aren't just right or if someone she disagrees with is attending, she prefers to have us pick up the grandkids from her house so they can enjoy the family gathering. However, she chooses not to attend the event because it doesn't meet her expectations.
I have engaged in many conversations with her regarding the reality that life is not perfect and will never reach perfection. Life involves discovering how to embrace happiness and joy even amidst adversity and challenging moments, as we often face difficulties on a daily basis.
However, what I express holds no significance. Her actions have caused distress for me, her husband, her kids, and everyone who cares about her. It’s disheartening when she chooses not to participate, seemingly out of spite and due to her immaturity.
I’m older now, and when I spend 50 minutes driving one way to pick up my grandkids so they can enjoy time with family, then drive them back home, I typically end up with over three hours of driving in total. However, she seems indifferent to the fact that I’m spending three hours driving for her kids to enjoy family time. Her misplaced principles take precedence over the well-being of her elderly father, making her seem uncaring in this situation.
The essence of the narrative is that individuals like my daughter and you, who are committed progressives filled with animosity, contribute to the growing reluctance of others to identify as Democrats or support them at the polls. Your unrecognized attitude of hatred and contempt towards those who think differently is driving individuals towards the more positive outlook associated with the Republican party. Your negative attitude is causing significant disruption within the Democrat party, as you seem unable to find a way to achieve your goals.
Departing the country for the 4th of July due to the opposing party being in office reflects a defeatist mindset that fails to draw people in and ultimately undermines the very agenda you wish to promote. You have turned into your own greatest adversary.
