Politics With a Liberal Twist for Cranky Seniors

We are a supportive, thoughtful, kind, mostly serious, open minded and occasionally cranky discussion group for folks over 50 about politics, society, the state of our communities, country and world and our hopes, dreams, fears and plans for the future. We generally lean center to left, with the occasional contrarian idea. We’ve been through a lot together with various levels of anxiety and excitement from before and after the election. None of us wanted a second Trump term. And even the most jaded of us have been shocked and horrified about the events of the first few months. So now we struggle together trying to come to grips with what happened and thinking about where we go from here. We recognize that people will have a wide range of reactions from anger to withdrawal, wanting to analyze what happened, making plans to renew and repair politics and everything in between. A couple of reminders. This is a discussion group and everyone is free to participate or just listen as they choose. Please limit side discussions in the Chat during group. Everyone is free to post comments, favorite articles, podcasts and the like on the meet up site. And a few rules: 1. Please have a recently current photo. Of you! Also, have a first name and initial; we getting lots of Michael’s and Julie’s! And you’re all unique!. Unless a special circumstance, please have your camera on, especially when speaking, 3. Very generally, two minute time limit and to extent possible stick to the topic so people can respond and the conversation can flow. 4. Please RSVP not attending if you can’t make it so others can get in. And most importantly, let’s be courteous kind and supportive.
