No,
this is not me ending this writing experiment. Call it a course correction.
What
is there really more to say about this president who has (in no specific order
of egregiousness): admitted to sexual assault and supported an accused child
molester for the special senate election in Alabama, called for his political
opponent’s incarceration during a debate, encouraged his supporters to beat up
protestors and offered to pay their legal fees, insulted veterans and their
families, lumped Muslims as terrorists while refusing to condemn white
supremacists as such on several occasions, attacked the press, re-tweeted links
to far-right organizations and conspiracy theorists, refused to release his tax
returns and will likely benefit from the recently passed Republicans tax plans,
used his Twitter to antagonize a country with nuclear weapons, called Mexicans
rapists and drug dealers, and violated his oath to support and defend the
Constitution the moment he took office.
And
this is all before he has completed his first year in office.
If
you voted for Trump and continue to support this president, it reveals your
true character and what your real values are.
And
it is that you have none of those
I
can say that history will redeem me and those that understood the consequences
of voting for him but why wait that long
I
and many others will be stating this now so that history will know that there
were people brave and decent enough who were willing to stand up to this
president and everything he is doing.
Someone
will come across my writings. It might be a historian, a researcher, or even
possibly a family member, most likely my niece.
Because
history needs to know the truth. It will show that this president was only
supported by a minority of people, propped up by an irresponsible press, and relies
regularly on his sycophants through his surrogates for continued self-admiration.
I
have family members that did vote for this president despite that we share several
family members who will be directly impacted by this administration’s policies.
For
now, they are awfully quiet about their support of Trump. Mainly for the sake
of family unity
But
the moment they speak up, I will be one of several to let them know what I
think of them
And
that is all I will have to say
