Bear, I've spoken a lot about society and its issues lately because it's an election year, and I think it's a big, big, BIG mistake to reelect Trump. And I say that as someone who voted for him the first time.

I am opinionated about the US and its faults, sure, but I have usually kept most of that to myself in year's past. In the last several months I've said my piece, but I've very lately begun to let that crap go because I believe the US is simply doomed. I only chimed in recently to try and understand what's going on with y'all re: covid-19, why your (the country's) decision-making is 2 weeks (maybe 3) behind where it should be - because it's honestly confounding and legitimately concerning. My grandma is 90 and is Dothan - I don't want her to die. Same goes for my Dad, whose 69. I'm still a damn human, man. But so many here constantly think I'm arguing - I'm not. Incredulity can exist without judgment. The reality is that y'all are straight fricked, medically and economically - and it's fricking sad, man. I'm not arguing; I'm fricking bummed.

But I didn't enjoy this participation in the convo today, and look forward to avoid participating further. If you're aboard the Titanic sinking, I get that it sucks to discuss it with a person who's not sinking with you - so I won't anymore. I hope you all make it to lifeboats.

Good luck everyone with your country, your election, and your virus. I'll do my best to stay out of the discussion of all 3.

Roll Tide. I hope we can talk football soon. THAT is what I want to talk about.

Please continue to let it go. No one really cares about your opinion. Americans will get through this together.

The U.S. will be just fine in the long run. We have been through tougher times and I am totally confident we will get our hands around this situation and we will come out a better prepared and stronger for this. This country has faced darker and more dangerous times
