So I haven't checked in on this thread in I think about 30 pages.
I hate that despite the shit they're doing that my life is carrying on rather seamlessly. I guess this is how it was for the Tea Party folks with Obama...they hated it, but it didn't infringe upon their lives in any significant way. This is different as this bag of dicks wants to infringe upon my friends and neighbors that are immigrants, Muslims, and LGBTQ, as well as rape our planet to increase the insane profits of all of their friends.
The most I've thought about president shit-for-brains in the last week or so are a few days of just enjoying life and actually forgetting he's our President. It sounds wonderful, I know. But it's crushing when the the momentarily repressed knowledge surfaces and you become newly aware that this did, in fact, happen and that we have elected one of the worst people to ever to the office.
We've had bad presidents and more than a few that were on the wrong side of history, but they were for better or worse, men of their times. So in some cases that meant seeing Native Americans as heathens and worthy of genocide, while also thinking that slavery was an okay practice and that the people we selected to be our slaves were somehow less than us because of their increased melanin levels, seeing women as objects of pleasure and procreation that were not worthy of a voice in our society, claiming religious freedom while shoving Christianity don everyone's through, welcoming many new immigrants only to marginalize and segregate them, being warmongers creating and then having the audacity to use the most horrible and devastating weapons known to man...and so on and son on. None of this being accepted at different times makes them acceptable, even historically.
But now we have group of mostly men in a party that will seemingly not accept their times. We are in a time of tolerance and acceptance. Every gender, race, orientation, religion (or lack thereof), nationality, etc. has a place at our table. Our common global enemies are those who not only refuse to accept our differences, but who refuse to embrace those differences as some of our greatest strengths.
This is a time where everyone has access to more knowledge and information than ever before. Yet these GOP asshats and fools that support them belittle education, if not fear it. They speak of it as a negative, yet most of the politicians have masters and/or law degrees. These two-faced fucks have added "educated" to the list of growing offenses and things to fear from the left along with liberalism and socialism and equality and tolerance.
So Ima get out of here again.
Peace to you all and resist.
