My daughter in Ohio is having a hard time with the results of this election

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

95. The Republicons who "love teh babies"

supports giving maniacs machine guns who slaughter our kids while their in school. Now they're forcing women to risk misery or jail if they get pregnant and have a miscarriage.

Good luck to your daughter, and I hope she finds a safe place in this country. It's easier said than done of course, and I don't know what to do except tell the truth to everyone, including teens. Normally I would be cautious with teens, but we're out of time.

Tell them our constitutional system is rigged in favor of the minority, it also has legalized bribery of our elected officials. Our legal system is set up for the rich, and particularly rich white people.

Tell them solving our climate catastrophe is too late, and they must learn to live in a new world. Deadly oil & it's choking byproducts like single use plastics must be eliminated asap for them to have a chance. Tell them our Democratic party is decent, but still too beholden to lobbyists & corporations as well. In addition, they're up against the same forces we are.

Finally, tell them our consumption economy is also a problem and should be changed to reward green energy, non-polluters and health lifestyles.

They'll probably hold us in contempt, but we tried and failed because, in my opinion the system stacked the deck too much in favor of commerce and the rich, and labor doesn't have enough power.

I can't say telling the truth will work, but it's all I've got.
