Poor whiny muffin.

I feel so worked up about all of this election/politics.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 12, 2021:

Define "normal". And no, the normal that was wasn't very good for many people. We need to find a new normal, one that levels the playing field so gender, skin color, and sexual orientation are no longer dangerous or discriminatory. We need to be kinder to everyone and support everyone. Let us no longer look down upon the poor, the differently abled, and less abled. We need calm and considered discourse and solutions that work for everyone.

Works for me!

My enormous extended family is in the process of a political fracturing at the moment.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 9, 2021:

I feel your pain. I gave up on those extended family members that are only related by blood. We don't share much else in common and seriously they're morons. A group email was sent several months ago and the author, one of the older cousins wondered why "Aunt Minnie's kids weren't more involved." Being one of those said kids, I unloaded on him in a reply all. I got a few apologies, and a few comments from the cousins close to my age that yes the older cousins are morons. I'm off the email list, which was my objective. My mom was 7th out of 9, and I was the 26th out of 30 grandchildren. The older cousins seem to be conservative xian and Trump supporters, everything I am NOT. Life is just too short to have to deal with that.

The religious composition of the 117th Congress | Pew Research Center

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 9, 2021:

Members of Congress also are older, on average, than U.S. adults overall. At the start of the 116th Congress, the average representative was 57.6 years old, and the average senator was 62.9 years old.1 Pew Research Center surveys have found that adults in that age range are more likely to be Christian than the general public (74% of Americans ages 50 to 64 are Christian, compared with 65% of all Americans ages 18 and older). Still, Congress is more heavily Christian even than U.S. adults ages 50 to 64, by a margin of 14 percentage points.2
