Since trump first announced his candidacy in 2015, I\u2019ve witnessed our country’s growing\u00a0 tendency to identify with a particular group and information source.<\/p>\n
Personally, I\u2019ve realized I just don\u2019t have much to say to trumpies, even those I\u2019ve known for decades.The schism is too huge. It\u2019s isn\u2019t simply about right or left or in between. It\u2019s about values – <\/em>the importance of something, the principles, the feelings and ideas that guide you. I realize we are individuals and each of us is molded differently.BUT. There should be basics for all of us about things like: What’s\u00a0 right? What’s wrong?<\/p>\n If we are a government for and about and by the people, if we are the people, <\/em>is it okay to rob kids of a subsidized or free lunch at school?<\/p>\n Is it okay to deny rights to immigrants who work in the brutal sun harvesting crops? Immigrants who come here seeking what used to be the American dream, have paid taxes and social security and are then rounded up and sent to a Gulag by ICE?<\/p>\n Is it okay that women are denied the right to make the decisions about their own bodies?<\/p>\n Is it okay to disparage everyone who isn’t a white male?<\/p>\n Is it ok to cancel grants to universities that do medical research because they refuse to allow you to dictate how they should be run?<\/p>\n Is it okay that we have one faction of congress so terrified of losing their power that they support a convicted felon who fermented the J6 insurrection, then sat around while offices were pillaged, security guards killed – and has since pardoned those who was convicted?<\/p>\n Is it okay for trump to have VA hospitals deny treatment to vets who are democrats, unmarried or divorced?<\/p>\n I mean, WTF?<\/p>\n So here’s an issue that came up recently. The reason the National Guard didn’t sweep into the capitol on\u00a0 J6, one person told me, was because Nancy Pelosi stopped them. HUH? I replied. “Pelosi’s office was pillaged, rioters were looking for her.” And I watched it all on TV, like so many other people.<\/p>\n But this person claimed she has the inside scoop on all this.<\/p>\n It’s\u00a0 one more example of how disinformation becomes fact for people who believe trump is doing great things for this country.These people buy all of trump’s lies, his version of facts, and even if you show them evidence from a reputable source, they claim the source is\u00a0 biased and incorrect.<\/p>\n They live in a different reality, one shaped and sculpted by fake facts and disinformation. Of course, they say the same thing about those of us who see this administration as incompetent and trump as the grifter and convicted felon that he is.<\/p>\n But hey, millions of Americans turned out on June 14 for the NO KINGS protests. So we aren’t alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since trump first announced his candidacy in 2015, I\u2019ve witnessed our country’s growing\u00a0 tendency to identify with a particular group and information source.
