    Eh.  The Democrats risk having these "in your face"  confrontations backfire on them come November.  MAGA Chuds will see themselves as the victims and come out in droves to vote for their candidates if you push them.

    That's not new. They always have and always will. No one has a bigger martyr complex than an American conservative Christian.  And besides, we know the ceiling of the MAGA-chuds; we see that in Trump's approval rating. The key for Democrats is getting their voters to the polls, an enthusiasm that was lacking in 2016.

    lol at anyone compelled to arm themselves for a trip to Ikea because you never know but who cannot be bothered to secure their instrument of death because reasons. All this person's weapons should be confiscated, melted, and forged into a chain that they must wear in public until they die.

    Gun owners should be charged as accomplices for any crimes committed with their guns.

    I'm reading Landfalls by Naomi J. Williams for the book club I'm part of here, and only have about 20 pages remaining. It's a fictionalized account of the Lapérouse expedition from 1785 to 1788. As the title suggests, the book takes place at their various landfalls along their journey: Chile, Alaska, California, China, Russia, Australia, and finally the Solomon Islands.  The locations are historically accurate but of course the dialog is fictional, but exceptional. One story in the book was particularly moving to me, and actually made me tear up a bit, which hasn't happened with a book in a long time. It's a very fun adventure story which is at times also very heart-wrenching. If anyone is looking for historical fiction, I can't recommend it highly enough; it was a real page turner. 

     

    Next I'll probably read Pet Sematary by Stephen King or maybe And Yet by Christopher Hitchens, because both have been in my to-read list for a very long time. :p 

    That sounds fascinating. Added to my wishlist.

     

    I'm reading Iron Gold, the 4th book in the Red Rising series.
