25. I compare this time in America

Thu May 21, 2026, 02:50 PM

Yesterday

to what happens in the TV series, "The Walking Dead".....

Today, the virus / zombies are the ignorant MAGAS....

We Democrats and those who live by the Constitution, and Democracy , we are the survivors who want to live and return to some formal lifestyle.... like Alexandria and Hilltop...

tRump and the evil corporate dictator types are represented by the Wolverines, Negan, the Governor, Alpha....etc....

Both stories, the USA and The Walking Dead remain to be concluded....
