Trump will be speaking about 10 minutes from my home in Aurora today to talk about how Venezuelans like my wife are supposedly "destroying" my city. I get to spend the afternoon on the way home from work in I-70 traffic stuck behind MAGA assholes going to see him talk about this bullshit. Great start to my weekend, let me tell ya.

I was glad my daily drive kept me on the North and West sides of the Denver metro. Somewhat enjoyed tfg’s local supporters admitting on local tv (including the local fox station) that Aurora is not a war zone and the claim is bs, but still find it sad that doesn’t dissuade them at all from their devotion.

Me too. :( I live in the western part of this metro area.

I've gone further and decided to make this a litmus test with relatives. If they hear promises of a military crackdown on metro Denver and think "hellz yeah", they can get out of my life (and my family's) and stay out.

I probably should cool it and not make a thing out of it, but fuck it. I've had enough with authoritarian threats driven by lies, and people in my life who've never even seen my home state (let alone Aurora) cheering it on.
