Pff, hold our beer. We have just under four years to show how monumentally ignorant, apathetic and subservient we can become. After that, who knows? My crystal ball just shows brand-sponsered schools and overflowing private prisons.

If nobody did anything meaningful over the past eight years about this, I don’t think there really is a limit. When the education system takes a nose-dive and what is available is neo-Christian/capitalist indoctrination, it’s only going to get worse. I’d sure like to think the opposing party had the grapes to stop this nonsense dead in it’s tracks, but again - eight years and I guess we are just cool with it all. I want to love my country, but JFC, it is sure hell-bent on ghost-riding it into a christo-fascist idiocracy.

Get referred to a gastrointerologist asap. There are a variety of things it could be, and few of those are anything you can get away with ignoring.

If it’s bright red, could be a ruptured blood vessel from straining to defecate to chrohns disease or ulcerative colitis. The later nearly killed me. Dark red to coffee ground consistency can be stomach ulcers. These can be a one off thing or chrilonic and lead to anemia, malnutrition, cancer etc…

Mind, I’m not a doctor, but I had dealt with serious symptoms of UC for over a decade and would be dead by now had I not gotten surgery. Got pretty familiar with digestive tract issues. Don’t take it lightly
