Put this on my Facebook page and started a debate! I agree with this man 1000%. I have been saying what every citizen should have to do is take a class in critical thinking. That alone would help free a lot of people from the kind of thinking that leads them to vote for someone like Trump.
Be Ready! Do NOT forget! We are the ANSWER!
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
I do assume a lot don’t I? Here is a quote from the news on the Huff Post today:
The committee “should come to the conclusion after spending many millions of dollars, that the real insurrection happened on November 3rd, the Presidential Election, not on January 6th—which was a day of protesting the Fake Election results,” Trump said in his statement.
Really? I am not even sure how Trump manages to put himself out there, if I were in his shoes, I’d be so embarrassed, I couldn’t say a word, let alone show my face in public. The man has absolutely no shame at all. I will try not to dump on the man too much, not that he doesn’t deserve every beating he gets in writing, verbally, and as far as I am concerned physically. He does not deserve protection from our government. He just needs to disappear.
On December 17, 2020, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 25% identified as Republican, and 41% as Independent.
The truth is, that the democratic numbers which of course translates to votes, has been growing the past few years. Keep that in mind when you are sweating having to live through another four years of that regime.
My son has been sweating all this stuff. None of us in this family want Trump to run for President again. Ok, lets be real up front and honest. My son and I flat out hate the man.
He is unethical, not honest, a mysogistic, narcissistic, criminal. I’m afraid that is the top of the iceberg when it comes to that man. I don’t know it, I do not know the man at all. So far as I know no one I am acquainted with know him either. I dislike him so much, I’ve cut off some friends over their support for the sob.
So, back to the kid. He is so worried that man will get back in office. I am going to sound very (temporary, probably insane, but here goes…) Trump really did more harm to this nation than anyone has in a good long time. Those who did not like him before his Presidency in general like him even less now. His whining and his false facts have raised the hackles of liberals and progressives in the worst way.
Reading the news is comforting, right now Democrats and independents who lean Democrat (such as myself) have the numbers that show we outright own this nation if we will only take the time to vote.
I believe because of what we saw the four years prior to Mr. Biden will be enough that those who lean Democrat or Progressive will never be complacent again. At least this generation and the next will remember this time for the rest of their lives. People like me can’t get the violence of the Black Lives Matter protests out of our heads. I am talking about the ones who actually committed the violence. People who took their cues from Trump and proceed to walk all over others to get what they wanted. The Proud Boys, The 2%, the KKK, they all took their cues from Trump. They honestly believed Trump had their back. I have to laugh. We can see now how he has had their back. It’s all just words. There is no substance to that man.
Be prepared to stop Trump and Trumpism. Stay awake, don’t forget. The future of our world is in our hands, all we need to do is VOTE!
I vote anyways. I always vote. A person I wanted to win in a small town election lost by one vote. I didn’t vote that year. I had a baby and I was too worn out. Had I voted that person probably would have won. I will never forget that. I tell the story to others because it is my way of letting people know that their vote still matters. If we win as the individual or as a group, doesn’t matter, what matters is that we win. That we choose nearly anyone else except Trump or any other pick of the conservative Christians right. They have reached the extremes and are angry over moot subjects. They are creating chaos in our lives, our government, and turning the world upside down to the point that they support fascism. Let them take their anger out on themselves, and vote all of them out of office.
I have friends who are Christian, and conservative. It is hard in these times to stay friends. I still like them, but now, I see them as people with some sort of thinking deficit. I mean one set of friends are university educated. I was shocked to know they were Trumpers.
This quarter at EOU, I am taking a history class about Postwar Europe. Postwar, meaning after WWII. But, the class is also teaching a lot about what happened in WWII. It turns out that a lot, and I mean the numbers were scary, how many academics, meaning University Professors, on down the ladder to elementary school teachers fell for the hoax of Nazism.
I wish people would learn about the past. Nazism was nothing but fascism. A textbook case.
As far as I can tell, Trump is a want to be fascist. Considering we are wide awake, and the majority we really should win the race easily. I must admit though, I will go through the whole race until the final vote is counted pinned to the edge of my seat, however, I must believe that Trump will loose. A Democrat or Progressive who really cares about people will take the Presidential seat. I don’t care if it’s Joe Biden, or Ms. Harris, or AOC, or Yang. Heck, I’d love to see Bernie Sanders in there!
But, lets get realistic, stay awake and caring about what our country is becoming both politically and environmentally and vote accordingly. As Smokey used to say, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires.” That is a perfect metaphor for the upcoming elections, and even about the climate change that is coming. Oh, heck, its not coming, it’s here and its only going to get worse for awhile anyway. My source for that is me, I took a class at OSU about climate change. I can give you the history, and there is a lot of it. I can tell you what we need to stop doing NOW. I can tell you what will do the longest damage to the climate and hold heat in the longest: methane is the most dangerous stuff because it stays in the atmosphere for years and years, wherein carbon eventually breaks down.
At this point, we need to stand by and prepare to be ready at the ballot box. In the meantime we can watch the awful master of destruction, maybe even the devil himself, tear up the Republican party. He will make them all look like a bunch of dunces (in my book he already has and they really are). The Republican party as far as I am concerned is morally defunct. Trump is putting frosting on his proverbial cake. Let him. It will cause us to eventually have even more votes on our side. I have always lived on hope! Never stop hoping!
Put action behind those words and feelings:
Be Ready! Do NOT forget! We are the ANSWER!
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
