Cover of an old children's book from the 1960's The Story of Eleanor Roosevelt by Lorena A. Hickok. Illustrated by William Barss. The cover is an illustration of Eleanor Roosevelt surrounded by children with one girl giving her flowers. I checked this book out of the school library when I was in elementary school.

True. My point is simply that people claiming the majority or even half voted for him misses the point. It is not that the Majority is hate filled. The apathetic and complacent NON-VOTER is actually the majority. Apathy is as damaging and poisonous, if not more damaging and poisonous than hate.
Red text on black background “The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.” –  Charles De Montesquieu White text on a glowing dark red background faintly overlaid with a black sketch depicting barren trees. The Text reads - "Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings." ~Helen Keller

Classic editorial cartoon from the 1030's with a large Nazi soldier holding a tiny baby sized man up in from of an old fashion microphone on a stand. Swastikas are coming out of his mouth as he yells into the microphone. His screams are so forceful the microphone in the center is swinging back. MSM has been typed under the little man and Trump has been typed over the jutting ass of the large Nazi. The original cartoon was labeled Goebbels and the text was in German. I assume the little guy was originally suppose to represent Goebbels

Book cover for the book Naked in Death by J. D. Robb. It is the original Blue Body cover. The Culver is silver gray there is a blue body under a pink blanket with with blood that creates a butterfly on top of it. I chose this particular cover deliberately. It was the cover when I first read the book in 1995 before I even knew that JD Robb and Nora Roberts are the same person.

Yet, they are not completely socialist all have regulated capitalism and a billionaire class. When I was on Twitter someone from Finland tired of people calling them democratic socialist rather than a social democracy posted these. He noted would not want to live a completely socialist nation.

I understand the joke was inappropriate, misogynistic, and disrespectful but she is my sister. Both of our parents are dead so she is the only family I have left. I don't know what to do because we already apologized. She was also the one who started it when she started freaking out about us voting for Trump. She knows we are small business owners so I thought she'd understand why we voted for Trump. We are just trying to make ends meet, we are not racist or sexist or any of the words she was spewing at us. How do I get through to her that she's overreacting? We have no other family, just us. I know she'll regret ruining our relationship because of a stupid joke. Everyone was drunk, tension was high, but we love each other. Throwaway account for privacy

Screen shot from reddit post r/TrueOffMyChest. 17 hr. ago Curious-Mushroom-247 My sister disowned me because my husband said "your body, my choice" to her during a heated argument ... My husband (36M) and I (34F) have been married for 8 years. My sister (31F) has been my best friend for my entire life. We are really close. Last night, we went to my sister's house for a few drinks and snacks (something we do often). We were all drunk so we inevitably started talking about politics. My sister freaked out when she realized my husband and I voted for Trump because she assumed we'd vote for Kamala. Things got heated and my husband ended up saying, "your body, my choice" to her as a joke. I had seen the joke circulating online so I knew what he was referencing and laughed. My husband and I are both pro-choice and it was just a joke. My sister started screaming at us to leave after he said it. I tried calming her down by saying he was just joking but she wouldn't listen. She asked me if I was okay with what he said and I said yes because he was only joking. He has dark humor so he often says shocking things for laughs. She ended up physically pushing us out of her house and slammed the door in our faces. We called an uber and by the time we were home, I had received a long text from my sister. She said she never wants to see me or my husband again because of the joke he made. I was devastated because she is my sister who I love more than anything. I tried telling her that politics is not worth destroying our relationship. I told her I'd never let anyone hurt her and it was just a stupid joke that was circulating online. She said she will never feel safe in my husband's presence ever again and that she will never see me the same. This is the first time my husband has ever said a joke like that to her so she has no reason to feel unsafe around him. I think she misunderstood the joke and thought he was threatening violence when he was just making an abortion joke.

Black and white photograph of Mussolini sitting next to Hitler in a car with Donald Trump's face photoshopped over Mussolini's. Hitler is looking to the side and Trump Mussolini is looking towards the camera with a smirk on his face.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?
A baby monkey sitting on a white blanket, It is desperately clutching a light brown stuffed dog that is larger they are around its neck. The stuffed dog and the monkey have their faces squished together. The monkey's head is slightly tilted up and they are looking off into the distance with sad eyes
