Let me be very clear on this one. This is MY country too. As a christian I am pretty sure the devil incarnate is holding sway in our nations capitol. At no point in time have I thought for one minute that he and all his cohorts are doing anything that is going to help me or my causes one bit. Not one iota. There was a time when I would have researched all the candidates and made an informed choice, but after seeing the way the Republicans in both the Senate and the House have sucked up to the big orange orangutan that is called our leader I would not vote for a Republican if he were handing out million dollar bags of money on the corner by my house. Not only would I not vote for one, if my "friends" profess to be followers of the current administration they are out the door. I refuse to break bread or sip the cup with anyone who finds humor and justice in what this administration is doing to immigrants, poor, homeless, gay, bisexual, black, Hispanic, women, medicaid recipients, food stamp recipients, and the list goes on and on and on.
Further let me state that the idiot in Washington who brags about "grabbing a woman by the pussy," would be well advised to not try grabbing this woman by anything because it would be the last thing he ever grabbed. It turns my stomach when I see the women standing around him as he signs into law an edict that takes away their rights as women. There seems to be no middle ground with this government. Try to remember that I lived through the time period where women went from being chattel to being productive members of society. I was there for integration. I saw the assassination of Martin Luther King, JFK, Robert Kennedy. I missed the part where our government seized the land and sent the Indians to reservations in the middle of nowhere, but I did work in a bar where it was illegal to sell liquor to Indians and I was there when they were no longer "Indians", but became Indigenous People. Discrimination by any other name is still discrimination!
At his point in time my news feeds are flooded with pictures of babies being ripped from their parents arms and warehoused in Walmart warehouses. Of course, those people have no maternal or paternal feelings and the babies are not really human like the babies of the lily white guards ripping them from the only security they have known. Your president, because he sure as hell is not mine, is snuggled up with the North Korean dictator and throwing kisses at the despot that is in control of Russia. We march. We wave our flags. We write letters and we might as well be wiping our asses on them. Where is America's outrage? I have signed so many calls to "Impeach Trump NOW!" that those keys on my keyboard will no longer work.
The only hope we have is with our vote. If you are going to the polls and vote in the same ilk that made this maniac what he is today then I would wish you would just stay home. If your goal is to "split the vote" or vote for one of the yoyo's that follows this joke of a president, I would wish you would just stay home. Of course if you are unemployed, you might want to vote for him because, and trust me when I say this, the federal government will soon be hiring for devoted people to man their ovens.
