Watching shadows part for me.
Leaving Havens gray with rain
Now that years have slipped away
Leaving friends with gentle pain
As they start another day.

Many times I read a post here and I don’t get it at all.

If only the party that pushes for these things could reach the people who need them.
After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them
