***POLITICAL*** this is what happens when I got rid of my other journaling blog. Stuff has to be said.

I'm learning lots of interesting stuff here. So there's a good thing in the midst of the insanity. I vaguely remember the socialism/fascism discussions in school, one "left wing" the other "right wing" but I'm rusty with all that stuff. A friend told me in a panic that I HAD to vote for TRUMP otherwise we were going to end up SOCIALIST but she couldn't tell me what that was. All I could remember was "cooperative" but others think "bread lines" LOL 
it's amazing how to me it's easy to see how this country is going, the following copied from google...
Fascism  is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
so·cial·ism is a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

So there you are. I think that Trump is heading far right authoritarian.... but Biden is definitely not all the way to socialism. We need to be somewhere in the middle.

About Me

My photo
just a crafty grandma experimenting with all sorts of things. My main interests are paper craft of any kind and quilting/sewing. But I've done leatherwork, polymer clay, on-the-wheel pottery, painted molded ceramics, papier mache, stained glass, plaster casting, linoleum printing, paper making... you name it, I've probably tried it. A few I actually stuck with. :)
