We’re now in – what? trump’s 9th month? It already feels like decades, and it seems to become more dire and more illegal by the hour.
The other day, a headline popped up on my computer, posed as a question. Did trump intend to declare war against Venezuela? Huh? For what? Why?
I’ve often thought that trump’s edicts and proclamations and executive orders are stuff he thinks of at 3 a.m., as he’s sitting in front of his ridiculous truth social, pondering what he should write. And what should he write in CAPS? Yeah, that most of all. He wants everyone to know that the messages that are capitalized are the only ones you need to remember. To discuss with other people.
It’s tragic that none of these capitalized messages address what he actually is doing for the American people. So far, he hasn’t done shit. Prices are rising – for coffee, home repairs and appliances, for insurance, for food, for essentials. Inflation is rising. People are being stripped of their health care, kids are being denied school meals, and trump and his family are enriching themselves continually. & thanks to trump, Kimmel is taken off the air – and then brought back after viewers and advertisers boycotted.
Meanwhile, Epstein’s ghost lurks in the background, chuckling to himself, Ha-ha, donnie boy, I’m gonna get even while you’re trying to indict your enemies. Foolish, boy. You’re as corrupt as I was…
Meanwhile, the supreme court – the 5 conservatives – usually sides with the orange man. Alito and Thomas are the worst. They haven’t just bent their knees for this guy. They’ve embraced him, blessed him and his illegal and corrupt soul, silently declaring that power is all that matters.
So what can you do? And you and you? Make your voices heard. Protest. Boycott companies that are in league with trump or are colluding with him or giving into him in the hopes of gaining…well, something. Don’t shut up just to be polite. If you’re with a group of people and someone brings up politics, don’t hesitate to speak up.
Small acts are often powerful, especially when they grow and swell. The protests against Vietnam started small. And then they grew and grew until the majority of people in this country denounced it. That wart spanned the years from 1969 to March 29, 1973, when the last of the U.S. military left the country. Good ole corrupt Richard Nixon was president then.
So don’t think none of this impacts you. Don’t dismiss it as “just politics.” Trump has turned the country into an autocracy, a dictatorship. & he really does seem to think he’s king, above all law. So don’t shut up.
For the Oct 18 protest?
