No.
You need to calm down. Where's that gal that likes diagnosing mental disorders with what she reads on the internet?
We have a code red over here. If you're talking about me, I think you would benefit more from seeing a therapist than Providence would.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

My guess is if my Grandparents were alive today, they wouldn’t be spending hours a day watching cable news, or browsing the internet. They would be leading fulfilling lives… not listening to folks who tell them they should be unhappy. This...........The internet is the single greatest threat to our society. Misinformation at up to 2000Mps.

Things change and people stay the same.
My grandpa, born in 1910 told me that when I was a boy and I still remember it.

Delusional in my mind is thinking that the Democrats were clever enough to steal an election (while leaving zero evidence) when they can't seem to do anything else right.
But it's your world; live in it as you see fit.

But it's your world; live in it as you see fit. Yeah,Yeah, and got more votes than any other presidential candidate in U.S. history...I can't find anyone who voted for this schmuck, or even anyone to admit they actually like Brandon. So color me delusional too, all day, everyday.

But it's your world; live in it as you see fit. So video of them pulling out boxes of ballots to be counted in the middle of the night after they said they were done and everyone left.... Evidence is out there but it doesnt matter if no news will cover it, social media pulls down anything about it, courts won't look at it.

Your proof of how people have changed a lot is? I'm not going to waste time on this digging for proof because I don't think you really need it. Can you honestly look around you and say people haven't changed since you were a kid? Did the kids you went to school with not know what bathroom to go in or whether they were a boy or a girl? Did the Junior high kids not know if they were human or feline? Did the athletes you watched on TV kneel in disgrace of the flag of their country, or refuse to sing it's national anthem? Did you know people who BRAGGED about how much money they get in food stamps, or would the people you knew back then have died in shame if their friends or neighbors knew they were getting assistance? Most importantly, would the people you knew back then allow these things to happen? Come on, Mark... you know people have changed.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

The problem with the world today is that we don't have enough people with the sense of our grandparents' generation. So no, I wish they were all still alive today and in charge.

I knew three of my grandparents and 2 of my great grandparents. We lived far enough away and only rarely saw them. I think it would be fairly safe to say all were rural, conservative and dyed in the wool Democrats. Almost everyone in my parents generation were similar except they were all Republicans. My generation of my family are all Republicans as far as I know. Parties drift, times change, human nature does not. I also wish all the relatives I knew in my youth were still around.
