@One4uTwo4me I plan on donating when I get back home, and I have the $ to spare! 🤗

After mentioning guinea chickens earlier, now I have them on my mind.

Have you ever owned guinea chickens? 🐓

And more importantly..... do you regret it? 😂

@Jeber Please, please, please let this be true. 🙏

@kel I have some choice words about how I'd like to see the Trump situation end. 👊 💢

@desbearado @VirginMaryCandle
Yup.

I won't be a part of that problem any more.

Every time I call home, it hurts my heart to be called a traitor to America, or a communist, or a Nazi by my Dad. It sounds like he hates me. It sounds like he means it. But I know deep down he doesn't and he's hurting and thinks I left him behind.

No matter what it takes, I will not let him go to his grave thinking he hates me.

MAGA doesn't get to win.

Trump doesn't get to take my family from me. 💪

@Ironworker229 @desbearado @MindfulWilliam @voltronic Oh, this looks interesting. Thank you!

@desbearado @VirginMaryCandle Thank you! That makes me happy.

There's so much division in our country and the world, and it's over existential things.

Where we really need to come together is home, family, friends, food, pets, and the daily struggle of life. These are all things we all have in common, no matter our politics, religious beliefs, etc.

It can be hard because right now the existential stuff is eating away at the people we love.

We got to be the solution.

CoSo is so dangerous.

I spent so much time in the bath browsing and talking my water got real cold.

Now it's dark outside and the rest of my day gone. 😂

What are you doing to me? 😜

@Smersh @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I didn't get out on my own. I had some very determined friends I was lucky enough to have that were there to reach me when the cracks in my bubble appeared.

I want to be that person for my family and friends who are still in there. I want to be there to reach out when the cracks appear.

I want to be the face they see if/when they realize where they are, or they have unspoken questions.

If it's not me, it'll be someone else who might seal those cracks.

@desbearado @VirginMaryCandle Y'all are making me tear up. 😭

I love CoSo so much. It's so refreshing to just not be attacked for having a belief.

This place is an example of how we get a better world.

@VirginMaryCandle Thank you, I would love to feel this someday. 🤗

@Oldguyaz I was much younger, but I fired an AK-47 a few times. I was young, so it had some kick, but it was so easy to pick up and shoot. No effort.

Though not as much kick as the M82. I got the chance to shoot one of those just once at a range. Almost broke my shoulder. 😂 Bruised for weeks. Never again.

@Smersh @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I think we don't let them win.

Instead of hating Republicans hanging in the wind, blaming them for being a greater part of the problem.

I think we should be reaching out to them, like my family, find the common every day non-existential ground of life. Try to show them the GOP leaders are lying.

We can't do this while we see all Republicans as extremists. We can't win unless we reach out and make them a part of the solution.

I got out. Others can too, I know it.

@VirginMaryCandle I know a lot of people probably aren't religious believers here, but I am.

I sincerely believe I've already lost my place in Heaven, and I'll be disconnected from God's love in the afterlife.

All I can do is hope to bring back love, for myself and others, in the life I have left to give.

@VirginMaryCandle Thank you. Guilt is something I carry a lot of. There's things I have to say about that, things I've done, but I don't know I'm ready to address those in a social post. 😞

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Smersh I was a MAGA Republican, and I feel so thoroughly betrayed by not only the party, but by my family too.

The scary thing is, I now see things about the race war. But while I was in the bubble, I never saw any of it. It's like it was very compartmentalized on the inside, and when a Proud Boy talked to someone like me..... you would never say they were a hateful prick. But then you see them on news.....

It's a juxtaposition I don't if I could ever explain.

@VirginMaryCandle Yeah, I guess.

It makes me anxious though.

I was a problem, I supported the problems, etc.

I try to do better, but I'm so outside my bubble and my guiding lights are far and few between.

@Oldguyaz @duglop As my brother would say, "500 years from now, even if all guns are Star Wars lasers, you'll still be able to find a AK-47 and all the ammunition you'll ever need." 😂
