I'm glad the country is slowly turning around. American politics have been..... well... I'm sure you know all about it moreso than I. From the outside looking in though it's as if I'm watching the movie Idiocracy slowly turn into reality..

Very good to see more women in government positions, but honestly the amount is far too low still! Sometimes it surprises me that in the USA, traditionally the front-runner on emancipation issues, things like women in positions of power are still an issue...

Haha. You hit the nail on the head. The Onion ran a joke on IG saying they were going out of business because they could no longer make up headlines more outrageous than real life American news. It’s a circus out there.

And I also totally agree that we need more women in office stat. The fact that there are so many “historic wins” to be had shows just how much of a problem it is. Still, glad to see glass shattering, even if it’s just one window pane at a time. Thanks for stopping by to share your thoughts/support!
