back when I was in middle school, they briefly spent [like maybe a day] went over how government worked. That was about 20 years...ah geesh...where has the time gone...

I'm sorry if this offends anyone.
When did Americans become such pussies! Too damn many people getting their feelings hurt! We have rights! If we don't use our rights, we will lose our rights!

That explains alot.
30 years ago we had citizenship and American Government classes that educated us about law and government in the eighth grade.
It was a required class.
Things have obviously changed alot.
Lol.
Our system works great every single time when people follow the rules and do their jobs.

I have heard that those noisy crickets are real beasts! Sounds like it can handle a big coil like that.
Our friends have a big piece of property down in Winlock in the Southern part of the state close to Oregon, and they just put a container on it! He spends a lot of time there and we camp there all summer long. They had a trailer but they are really digging the container. Got it all fixed up and put a queen-sized bed in it. Eventually they will build an actual house on it but she still works (she's my hairdresser) and they have their house up here. It's a pretty sweet deal, though. There's a river, woods, a field, sun, shade... everything you would want. We already told them to let us know if they find another great deal on a container and we will rent space from them.
Hahaha, I know, right??? I don't understand what they are prostesting, but this is definitely a Democratic state and Seattleites do love their demonstrations, lol. I just hate all of the violence.This is the most divided election cycle we have ever had.....this was bound to happen regardless of who won. (But remember, only Trump supporters are violent)

Our realtor works only with buyers, and that was awesome! He was 100% invested in us, not both sides.
Yahoooo!!! You, too!
WTH!!! That's horrible! I have a friend who kept her kids home from school yesterday because their school is very diverse and her kids were really upset that some of their friends will have to leave the country. I feel so bad for the kids right now. They are caught in the crossfire.
That's exactly it. He has zero political background. He's in for a very rude awakening if he thinks he will be able to pull of even a fraction of the stuff he's vowed to do. It just isn't going to happen. There are reasons things are done the way they are. I do hope he focuses on fixing healthcare and learning the ropes before he tries to tackle stuff he doesn't understand.
It's bad here, too. My gay friends young and old are very shaken up. My niece is ready to have a breakdown!
Exactly! Unfortunately, there were no changes in the balance of power (unless the house pulled ahead in the Democratic vote) so we have a completely Republican top tier. Still, a lot of those Republicans are not going to allow Trump to go rogue. I hope.
Yeah, there are demonstrations in a few places. It feels a lot like the 60s...
Have an 18-year-old female relative on the phone right now… Went out in a rainbow striped shirt and had two kids attack her and tell her trumps going to....well....I can't even repeat what they told her what Trump is going to do to her
I support all peacefull protests.
It is our right to peacefully assemble.
It is our right to speak out against our government.
I support our constitutional rights.
All of them.
That said,
Knowledge is power and the key to not living in fear.
Most fear is from a lack of understanding.
There is alot of un needed fear being promoted to the masses who lack understanding in order to push an agenda.

I think a lot of it stems from the whole electoral vote thing. Our votes used to count, and now it feels like it doesn't matter how we vote individually because it all comes down to the electoral vote. I said last election that we need to be much more focused on who we elect at the state level to represent us, and I still think that's true. I think we can do a lot more as a state than we can as a country, you know? Just look at Arizona. They choose to do things the way their citizens want and now how the federal government tells them to do it. We should be more like Arizona!
