I’m tired. Deeply tired of the pathetic adolescent tactics being used in politics these days. And it makes me deeply sad and disappointed with people.
Are we so stagnant that we don’t remember what kind of behavior was not acceptable in elementary school? Have we forgotten that being a bully is not acceptable behavior? Does evidence and proof no longer hold any weight in how you see things? Does the rule of law no longer hold any weight?
There was a time when bullies were held accountable. They were punished for their nasty behavior. There was a time when punishment didn’t come until guilt was proven. And if there was no proof, it was accepted that it did not happen. And rule of law was generally accepted as the final word.
And then came Donald J Trump. A man who ridicules a handicapped person. A man that encourages people to beat up other people. A man who tried to attack his own secret service in anger. He’s vicious, violent, rude, has NO respect FOR ANYONE. He does not know how to behave in public. A man that doesn’t know to keep his filthy hands to himself. A man who name calls when he doesn’t like someone or when he does and they reject him. When he is called out, he attacks. When he’s taken to court, he buys his way out. This is not a man worthy of our respect.
Now to be fair, Trump supporters would consider me a never trumper and they would be right. But its not what they think. No, I do not like him and never have. He gives off what my best friend and I always called the creepy vibe. Most women would recognize that as that feeling that we would not be safe alone with him. However, that is not why I wouldn’t vote for the man. He has shown that he expects to get what he wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Based on the evidence and testimony presented by the January 6th Committee, he has shown that he is willing to break the law to get what he wants. And he tends to seek revenge when he perceives someone as having betrayed him or who he perceives as his enemy. He has repeatedly shown this by filing law suits and ordering investigations while in a position of power.
I don’t pretend to be psychic or anything but anyone paying attention could see this coming. He bought his way out of trouble many times well before he ever ran for office. His record in the American legal system speaks for itself. His actions that have come to light shows that he feels entitled to be able to get away with whatever he wants. He has never had to face consequences so he has come to believe he never will. He actually said he could shoot someone on Wall Street and wouldn’t lose any supporters.
Why is that? Why do you support a man that is such a spoiled, entitled misogynistic racist, Malignant Narcissistic Megalomaniac? Do you really believe his ability to cheat people out of their money makes him strong? That the ability to use ill gotten gains to buy his way out of trouble makes him strong? It doesn’t. It ruins his reputation to the point where people don’t want to do business with him. NO American bank will loan money to him anymore. In elementary school, he was the kid no one liked because you couldn’t trust him not to stab you in the back. He was the one that would ridicule you and everyone would laugh until it was them he was picking on until he finally ran out of people who would tolerate him. Its why he has to pay prostitutes. Most women see him for what he is. Why can’t you?
The Republican party should be ashamed of themselves. They have allowed this adolescent minded bully manipulate them until he got enough dirt on them to allow him to bribe them into supporting him. All you really have left is to own up to your embarrassing secrets to release yourself from his power. If that embarrassing secret is enough to ruin you, you may as well cut your losses. Otherwise you will be sacrificing the country you claim to love so much. You have abandoned the idea of earning the peoples trust decades ago, we all know that. You’ve been manipulating the numbers and lying ever since Reagan. We can see it. We see how you vote. We see the way you contradict your words with your votes. But you have sold your soul to Satan with Trump. Yes, we hear where “your constituents approve” but do they really? If they did, gerrymandering wouldn’t be necessary, now would it?
It makes me sad to see so many people being fooled by the manipulation and the lies. It makes me even more sad to see people seeing a toddler in an elderly man’s body acting up and taking that as model behavior. Did you never learn that being a bully is unacceptable? Would your grandmother be proud of your behavior? You let a small minded mentally ill man convince you that your neighbors who just disagree with you are some kind of evil demon that you have every right to commit violent crimes against. We are human. We are much like you in that we want what we see as what’s best for our country, our family and our children. We just disagree. That doesn’t make us bad, evil or the enemy. It just means we have a different opinion.
Why on earth would you believe ANYTHING Donald Trump says? Your WHOLE LIFE, the CDC has pursued their mission to study and track disease and find ways to protect the people from those diseases. Dr Anthony Fauci made it his life’s work to protect people from disease. WHY would you buy into Trump’s demonization of Dr Fauci? All he’s done his whole life was to each us how to protect ourselves. Trump doesn’t know anything about disease.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. This was a statement used to advertise getting a college education. It still holds true today. Don’t just trust what they say. WE ALL know politicians lie. Why would you start trusting republicans just because they’re telling you what you want to hear? Pay attention to how they vote. The truth lies in how they vote. Actions speak louder than words. Your enemy is not your neighbor of color or whose first language isn’t English. Its the man or woman positioning to take your social security, to remove the country’s safety nets and taxing you to pad their offshore accounts.
