Right now, this link is working.
I agree about Social Security and Medicare; however, I also see people who need help. Jobs used to give pensions. They changed to helping with 401k's. People who aren't the normal couple with good jobs (single mothers, physically or mentally challenged) have trouble putting in more than the minimum amount into their savings. Then recessions and health emergencies can take half or more of those savings. By the time they reach retirement age, they haven't been able to save enough. This is the case for a lot of people of retirement age I know.
I upvoted you because you made me laugh.
I'm a boomer old lady. Grew up with 3 sisters. My dad was staunch Republican and we all were when we were in Florida during the Republican convention that nominated Nixon. All 4 of us teenage girls went to the airport to welcome the candidates. My oldest sister put on a mini-dress provided to those who wanted to be a "Nixon girl" and walked in a group through the airport with Nixon signs, singing campaign songs.
Then my oldest sister went to college, and my two other sisters were swept up in Beatlemania and then into all the music culture. All three were pretty quickly turned to leftists.
The Franklin school had indoctrinated Germany for the Nazi government and then set out to do the same when they took refuge in the US and England in the 1930's. They became ad men on Madison Ave, professors, writers of magazine and newspaper articles and influencers in the arts. They had influenced all of British and American society for 20 years by the time my sisters became liberal/socialist. I believe that a lot of the higher-ups in institutions who gave room for the Franklin School refugees were socialists themselves. Communism/socialism were very popular among the "elite" in the '30's, and they welcomed their comrades into influential positions in the US. Non-elites like my parents did the best they could to teach us and warn us against wrong doctrines, but the communist influence was really huge and perfect for teens seeking to rebel against parents.
I believe it rose quickly because it showed that God's grace was available by faith. People could know God without having to go through a priest or Pope, making God accessible to everyone. This came when the Catholic church was a less accessible institution.
I like your rational point of view. I'm afraid that people are going for a glorious last stand, instead of for the first stand in a potentially years-long battle leading to winning the war. Think of the American Revolution. They were strategic. They didn't throw all they had into a last stand at Boston Common. They organized, had leaders and a network throughout the colonies, and communicated with pamphlets, meetings, notices posted on walls, and so on. I hope that everyone gets a longer view of this. We are all going to be needed to protect loved ones, to offer aid to others on our side, to teach others about the Constitution and freedom, and to keep fighting until victory. One stand may not be all that's needed to win. Our goal is to win, not to go down in a blaze of glory.

Here's what I posted: I would like to request that North Carolina join Texas in their lawsuit against Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania that challenges their administration of the 2020 election.

Reading the responses on here is eye opening. If each response represents a thousand or more of those who come to the donald, and they are representative of thousands or millions non-thedonald Americans, then there are a lot of hurting people out there. Itysad.
I’m so sorry for you having life come to a screeching halt and losing some friends and your girlfriend. How wonderful that you found God able to help you through. I turn to Him, too. I can’t imagine having to deal with such trying times without Him.
I think you have to at least unplug it. I read some places that you have to do a little more than this to make the microwave really tight.
