This morning , I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
 
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life — so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own.
 
I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
 
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
 
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
 
Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
 
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
 
Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.
 
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
 
Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
 
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
 
If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
 
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
 
Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
 
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
 
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
 
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
 
And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?
 
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
 
We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good.
 
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast.

Yes, everything is topsy-turvy. I'm trying to hang on to reality as best I can.

Quote:Subject: FW: Corvette Capitalism. 
Corvette Capitalism.
A man named Tom Nicholson posted on his Facebook account the sports car that he had just bought and how a man approached and told him that the money used to buy this car could've fed thousands of less fortunate people.
His response to this man-made him famous on the internet. READ his story as stated on Facebook below:
 
A guy looked at my Corvette the other day and said, "I wonder how many people could have been fed for the money that sports car cost?
 
I replied I'm not sure; it fed a lot of families in Bowling Green, Kentucky who built it, it fed the people who make the tires, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wires, it fed people in at Caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore. It fed the trucking people who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families.
 
BUT,... I have to admit, I guess I really don't know how many people it fed. That is the difference between capitalism and the welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets and give them dignity for their skills. When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self-worth.
 
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is having the government take your money against your will and give it to someone else for doing nothing.
