They elected a convicted felon as Commander in Chief

You don’t get to claim any moral high ground. Yeah, Biden pardoned his son. Deal with it. Your new rules are - there are no rules. Dems get to play by them too!

Mods, if this is more Lounge material I take no offense if you move or delete this, but the hypocrisy is putting me over the edge.

They failed in the 30's, but wrapped it up in the flag, religion, racism and misogyny (how's that for American values?)

If you want a cheat sheet for what's going on, read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" (though there may be better books)

As for the Lounge, I got dinged and my OP locked in the week running up to the election for referring to He Who Shall Not Be Named. I asked if anyone else was keeping from going mad by binge watching the Harry Potter series.

Going mad with loneliness didn’t bother the jury — but apparently mentioning the Apricot Hellbeast as the cause by name in the Lounge was going too far.

Stick with GD.
