KD: Oh, you mean Biden’s pullout and the effect?
C: Yep, gains of the last 20 years may be lost. So sad…
KD: What is sad is the subjugation, the ‘lording’ of one person over another.
C: What is so threatening about women?
KD: I’m not sure it’s the women, I think it’s more the fleeting stability of power.
C: Does seem like Power crushes…
KD: If you let it…

D: Are we progressing?
KD: I see your point…We need to keep setting conditions.
D: We’ve set conditions, Peeps aren’t living to expectations.
KD: It’s a long, long road with many a winding turn…
D: And it seems to be leading us nowhere.
