I apologize for the wall of text and my rant on your post. When I started, I did not intend all of this.

However, I will state one last time that the treatment of marginalized individuals currently being undertaken by the Trump administration is abhorrent to every American ideal.

It can be at a city council meeting about permitting events or a library or school board meeting about books.

All of these take courage to do, and local politics courage may be greater than the courage needed for marching at the capitol building. After all, you face your community everyday.

…more seriously from the start.

And it is not enough to just ignore him. He needs to be actively opposed.

Democracy dies when no one fights for it.

It sounds like an empty slogan or propaganda, but it’s true.

And it doesn’t have to be in a grand march at a state or national capitol.

And I had hopes that enough swing voters would vote for her rather than the horror-movie-clown that was Trump.

He won, but then lost the next one, and I thought we were past his influence and power.

Then the democrats backed Clinton instead of Bernie.

What was happening in the Republican Party was a barometer for the mood of the country, and the Dems backed Hillary Clinton instead of Bernie.

Hillary is one of the smartest most capable persons in the country when it comes to politics and…

…of the republicans fumbled the primary.

The press gave him a free platform for his rhetoric, and fear began to replace my thoughts about Trump being a ridiculous candidate. I heard the rhetoric and saw the violence (on tv) at his rallies. Mob mentality was taking over, and Trump was encouraging it

I am sorry I did not take his candidacy more seriously. I assumed the electorate was smarter/more serious than his rhetoric.

I watched Trump’s escalator announcement. I thought his candidacy was about as serious as Spuds MacKenzie’s 1988 presidential run.

But then I watched as the rest…

I was underwhelmed. Especially disappointing since I was eager for its release.

Oooooo, i really like that one

Pod race was fun, but it’s difficult to make an exciting film about disagreement over trade

Cool pointy glasses 😎 😁

For half a moment, I thought you meant he’d passed away.

I’m a simple creature, really
