Political Blues

Bears and dogs and brain worms, oh my. Made me want to vote for this guy! DeSantis was always my go-to, first choice Social conservatives’ only real voice. But then Iowa had their damned little caucus Infected us all with enterococcus. Suddenly, RFK looked pretty good - detailed his issues; knew where he stood. On numerous planks, we didn’t agree, But did so on several that mattered to me. Nobody else even mentioned the debt, much less declared it an imminent threat. The border, free speech, and corporate capture; If he’d been pro-life, I’d be fully enraptured. Still, I was in, I was open, overt, made a donation, and got me a shirt. But then all the lawsuits, they got me distressed; when he threw in with Trump, I was sorely depressed. MAHA sounds nice, but would it really matter? Love for a bit, but then all the chatter… “Trump needs a mandate”, forget We The People started to sound like the usual sheeple. Something just died, and I lost all interest; Now I watch YouTube, and I heard about Pinterest. Deleted my twitter, turned off the news; got me a case of political blues.

Same here Jeff. I was going to vote for RFK also. Like you eloquently stated there were some things you did not agree with. I based on my research respect him for his many lawsuits that he has won against the FDC and Humanitarian Causes. I would rather see Trump in then Kamala. We do not have much of a choice. RFK would have been the best President in my opinion if elected I sincerely believe this. We will have to wait and see what transpires. Enjoyed reading, you are not the only one that

feels this way. The price of Politics when your candidate doesn't win or drops out, are Political Blues, Anger... and disappointment
