You Don't Have To Live This Way...

 

Hi! 

You know, every time I peek over the south fence to check in on the neighbours, it looks worse. The guy that runs the place gets more incoherent daily, babbling in front of the rolling eyes of the people who have sworn a sacred oath to their country, not any individual. He rambled on about stairs and was all but begging for applause. 

I guess I should correct my earlier claim, I said he runs the place, but does he though? They are shut down. The government. Shut. Down, Why? It's equivalent to a toddler holding their breath until they get their own way. Only, their own way is to make healthcare unattainable for a crap load of people, a bunch of whom were the ones who put him where he is right now. 

He, and those whose lips have taken up permanent residence firmly on his butt cheeks, are pissed because their plans to control who gets to be on tv, and what they say isn't going according to plan. Neither is their militant invasion of peaceful, beautiful cities. The latest judge, appointed by the Senile Simpleton, by the way, blocked the assault because the order given was "untethered to the facts."

Well, pretty much everything he says and does is untethered to the facts, this isn't news. what is new, is that it's finally being called out.

Look, guys, even if you love the guy, you admired his family values, you loved the way he ran his businesses, you think he made great choices in picking close friends.... even if...

How do you look at what he's doing now, saying now, I mean, he wants to put healthcare out of reach for millions of you, and he stands on the stage in front of your most decorated military members and talks about how he wants more gold on stiffer paper. How do you look at his present state, and think it's a good idea for him to keep running things.

He claims to have stopped wars that have never happened, for cryin' out loud! Your economy is going in the toilet, because of his crippling arrogance, miscalculating, and underestimating the strength and intelligence of other countries. He has alienated your allies to the point that the damage to those relationships may be absolutely permanent.

He, and his ilk, weaponize religion, stoke fear, and celebrate violence, as long as it's happening to whomever he deems an "enemy."

He's taking everything you used to stand for and twisting it into something the rest of the world, not only wants to stay clear of, but is finding increasingly hard to watch.  Masked, armed, wannabes ripping people from the street, shoving them into unmarked vans, then taking them to undisclosed concentration camps where their family and friends can't find them. Mass shootings, weekly, if not daily. 

You don't have to live this way. 

This dystopian version of what used to claim to be "the land of the free" and "the home of the brave" has become "the land of the afraid" and "the home of the people who handed over their democracy."

The world misses the real United States. Where are you?
