policies on healthcare and college funding and minimum wages are way different. Why Trump didn't make any inroads with his talk of annexing us... who would give up good public schools and good healthcare? We see you struggling under Republicans when they rule and how you don't get to have 'nice things'. You are showing the world what the danger of illiberal rule is and, at the same time, showing us in the rest of the world how to fight back. I have been so impressed with DUers over the years and don't know why the MAGA base is so unimformed relative to you guys. How does that happen in the same country? But the world is wise to the fascists thanks to your suffering and how you share it, your intellects and knowledge of the world shine through but most of what I see on the DU every day is the compassion you have for people. I bet a Brexit would not happen again the way it did.... and even the far right parties in Europe are separating themselves from Trump. I'm just so sorry you are going through what you are going through and had to spend last year cutting and cutting your loses. Better times ahead this year I think. (((HUGS)))
