That being said, I have to be honest. In my heart of hearts I am deeply concerned about what life will be like for many of us after the orange man takes office. Do I think he will declare open season on anyone who doesn’t acknowledge that he is the second coming?
Yes
What happened to you, America?
What happened to the three branches of US government? To the elected officials of those three branches who would sit down across the table from one another and work together to do the People’s business? The officials that would put aside party politics, who could disregard which PAC was putting the most money in their pocket and do what was asked by the People who elected them? The officials who ask “what is best for the country?” Where are the officials who were willing to compromise, negotiate, listen to what their partners across the aisle really had to say?
They are gone. If you aren’t mourning their passing then you haven’t been paying attention…
All of our elected officials have forgotten who they are supposed to be working for.
Us…the People who put them in office. The People who elected them to represent us. We asked them to be our voice, to speak for us in the halls of government. To represent us fairly, accurately and listen to what our concerns were.
It seems that these days that all our elected officials are most concerned about is peddling their influence to the highest bidder for the biggest personal payoff. Does any of this makes sense to you? If not, I’m not surprised. It’s much easier for you to listen to someone who says “he can fix it”, “that he’ll take care of it”. It’s much easier to let someone else tell you what to think.
Bob Dylan once wrote, “You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows”
If you’re not anxious. If you’re not concerned. You’re not paying attention. Or maybe you think you’ll be exempt because you’re white, straight and voted for him. Think again.
