Unbelievable!

Earlier this week Al Gore spoke out against Trump. Here if you haven’t seen it:


But instead of being complimented for it, the usual jerks on social media are dragging him. Saying he was a bad candidate in 2000. That he didn’t fight back enough during the recount. That along with the usual Nader apologists.
This is why some don’t speak out more because those who should have their backs when they do would rather attack them.
Sorry for the rant. Saw all this elsewhere and am just very disappointed.

It's good to see him speak out, especially about the reality that Trumpers are creating about Ukraine and our war heroes. When that fake reality gets used in conversations, I don't know if they believe what they say or are messing with me.

for me. Instead of lighting a fire to find truth, I wish it had gone the other way. Can't un-learn or stop caring. Crazy.
