If anyone has ever had the unpleasant experience of being stuck in a foreign country, not able to return, when you finally do and the plane lands you may find yourself wanting to kiss the ground. I was being driven home and my head was out the window like a dog waving to everyone. I was like YOU'RE MY PEOPLE! I LOVE YOU! If we can all hold on to that feeling we will be fine. If we can't we will also be fine. Happy Halloween buddy... I mean Comrade :)

LOL! And a happy Halloween to you as well, good sir! 😁

I was stationed in Udorn Thailand for a bit over a year, back in 1969 - 70. I can confirm what you said about that feeling. When the plane landed on U.S. soil I had tears in my eyes, and a huge smile on my face. Thanks, my friend!

If you people wish to see Trump destroyed, I've heard from experts that the 'establishment' will most likely kill him and simply blame it on some innocent party, like they always do. And thanks to full-blown psychological warfare, half the population will be very pleased ... at least for a short time.

I don't want to see him "destroyed" - just out-voted. Murder is not the way, no matter which party you favor or belong to.

the artist removed the ability to comment on the image you mentioned Rod. love the image dedicated to that ordeal. what ever happened to free speech ? only a few more days to find out who is POTUS. he lost several Latino voters due to that stupid comedian lame crack about PR.

Yeah, that "joke" about Puerto Rico was totally beyond reprehensible.

oh Happy Halloween Rod & Jo.

And same to you, Steve! Pretty quiet here...

Always like a good sense of humor. Laughings gotta be better than crying. Right?

Now what's going to happen next week, nobody knows.

I've found being able to laugh (at appropriate times, of course) keeps the stress levels at a manageable level. 😁

For some reason there are a lot of folks that forget that their voices are not the only voices. MAGA is not dirty word. And those that disagree are not garbage, deplorable, or dumb. Just saying. I will be glad when the election is over but this division will remain for a long time I fear.

Sadly, I fear you are right about the division. I have never in my 76 years seen or experienced an election with anywhere near the hate, division, fear and stress of this one. I know who I blame for this, but I'll keep it to myself. I'll just vote in a week, and hope we ALL survive the outcome.

Fight the good fight comrade :-)

LOL! We're on it! 😂

Oh, I love your scene :) Gee, Rod. I didn't know you are a Communist. Would take you as an Antifa :) You know where I stand. Hope it will be like an"Obama" 2008 victory. Simply don't pay attention to some folks--they are beyond beyond. Can never argue with someone who bases their side of an argument on solely opinions. As Senator Moynihan stated, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.”

I heard that entire PR joke and I found it no different than thousands of rough jokes made by a hundred raunchy comedians since time began. What's far more destructive and divisive is people of influence using mainstream news outlets to call their opponents Nazis, racists, and 'worse than Hitler' ... and saying that over and over, day after day! The end result was catastrophic, with friendships and even marriages splitting apart because one half simply refuse to believe the propaganda.

And the main underlying cause for all this is sociopaths getting in power, who have been looting at least $3 Trillion of US wealth per year. Whenever sociopaths take full control it's pretty much game over for the rest of us, no matter which side you're on.

Those who really have power are managing to divide a People who have always been united and faithful to their Nation into two rival gangs ready to wage war with each other instead of, together, waging war on the masters (I'm also a communist, or a fascist, depending on who is insulting me).

Great image, tovarich! ;) I'm worried sick about Tuesday. I hope everything will turn out okay and that we won't all be victims of another Dark Age. Ugh. So much stress. I hope you had a fun Halloween or at least a relaxing day.

LOL..Stressful indeed, Lizzie, and none of us need that. Or another 'dark age.' I've never made political donations before, but I have this time. And may we make history with our first Madame President - not our first dictator.

Relaxing day? What's that? LOL

You want communists? You can have Comrade Starmer and his pals in Parliament - the nanny state ... They've been jailing people for comments on TikTok etc. There's a winter of discontent brewing over here.

Excellent image! ...and fascinating seeing all the comments; even the ones i disagree with are great to see because that's what a debate shoukld be.

Alas its not just the US these days ; populist politics has replaced considered debate and statesmanship around the world, including the UK, fuelled by the ease by which electronic social media can spread misinformation (and the lack of any interest by the new moguls to fight for truth) and the dumbing down of traditional news in a vain (and pointless) attempt to appeal to a wider audience...

A fantastic piece, Rod. I've been trying to stay positive in these turbulent time, but it is not easy. Hopefully voting will change our fortunes for the better.

To some people, anything & everything to the left of Ayn Rand is communism. Actual Communists do exist, but they suck horribly at what they do or want to do.

I've touched on this before in a few of my works...

Excellent composition. This is a beautiful image.Free thought is a right of all citizens and is unquestionable.👍🙋‍♂️😬

Grand image. I pray for a landslide Dem win.

Great pic, Rod. I'll be glad when this election cycle is over and pray that sanity rules. The only way I've been able to keep the stress levels at bay are watching big doses of Jimmy Kimmel and the Daily Show.

So many people are just not able to accept criticism on their "holy" whatsoever. If some believe 1+1=3 you can't simply tell them the truth. If you do -- you might be blamed being communist. I dearly hope for the first Mrs. President.

Great render! You really made the girls look shocked.

Canada has 1/10 the US population. We also have some hate mongers and gullible folks as well. So do most nations. Having met some bigoted individuals , I can understand how difficult it is to start a reasonable dialog with the extremes.

Hey, everyone, Check this out: https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3182634/ive-come-to-say-it-to-your-face-youre-fired

Be sure to watch the video. This is the kind of bullying BS that defines "That other guy." Either way, this kind of division is what's tearing this nation apart.

There is absolutely no need for you to keep your comments to yourself. Political or otherwise. America's greatness... her GREATEST greatness, is our ability to disagree. Hopefully peacefully. Sometimes not*. It would seem that too many of us have forgotten that.

*I'm not advocating violence, but I learned to defend myself from a young age, because as my father told me "It's always best to avoid a fight, but sometimes you have to punch another man in the face." In my life, I have done both; lots more of the former than the latter.

Been there, done that a few times myself... 😉 And you are totally right on the money about our freedom to disagree - with each other or our "leaders." 👍

Last night I saw a program on TV with original excerpts from speeches by Mr. Trump about Germany and US history. I have rarely laughed so much that a person who wants to become President of the USA can say such nonsense and have people applaud.

Commie? You're a commie? (eye twitches)

I've been reading all the comments with interest. For me it comes down to one simple base question. I dont care about blue, red, purple, "Bro" politics, MAGA politics, media's false outrage and misinformation, Project 2025 plan to turn USA into a theocracy.... all of this stuff s secondary to the one and only question facing every American citizen this election.

Do you want to live in a country ruled by ONE and a Theocracy OR do you want to live in a country ruled by the Constitution/Law/Personal Freedom? That will be how I vote.

Me too! 👍

Dito @Ladylake! 😉 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Handmaid%27s_Tale

I want to change my name to Nobody. Then I will know everything, can do anything and be perfect, at least in name. lol Wonderful art work.

🤣 I may have to try that...... LOL

Funny how the ones acting most like fascist call other that. Oh well, you don't need their negative anyway. Hugs, Great render

Thanks, Anita! Looks like Dufus goes back to the Oval Office again. God help us...😒

Nobody would stop me from calling someone a fascist who is exactly that! Even a loudly shouting majority is wrong if the facts say so... and a majority is not necessarily right! There is a saying, forgive me for the comparison: People, eat shit, a million flies can't be wrong! This clearly shows that even if many people follow a false ideology, a false promise of salvation or simply a lie, the number of those who do so does not matter - and one should not then make the mistake of remaining silent, because whoever remains silent agrees! This ultimate truth comes from Eli Wiesel and he knew what he was talking about. For right-wingers, anyone who is not right-wing themselves is automatically a communist; that is the ultimate all-purpose weapon of those on the far right. It is important not to let yourself be intimidated and to make your opinion heard, even if not everyone likes it! MAGAs and their ilk would like to silence anyone who does not take their side. We shouldn't let them get away with this!
