I miss being able to sleep knowing that someone sane has their finger on the button, not having to wonder what the latest tweet will be, the latest nut job thing. It is like watching the country go to pieces right in front of my eyes. I hated George Bush, but he didn't terrify me. This piece of crap has cost me a year of good sleep, an increase in blood pressure (they upped my dosage last time), and a feeling of terror that won't leave me.
I did not always agree with President Obama, but he was a class act, he represented us with dignity and grace, nationally and internationally. He was and is good people as my Mom would say. Now we have a bully who struts his macho crap everywhere he can and his ignorant base loves that he is "strong". What they really like is that he is "white" and that was their problem all along.
I remember when I went to vote in November of 2016, there were 5 young trump supporters at the door. I had to report them because it sure seemed like they were trying to intimidate voters. They looked like they belonged in jail. When the older lady I told asked them if they were finished voting they mentioned they were they just wanted to "see history made" getting the N word out of the white house for a "real man". She said if they did not leave she would call the police, the laughed at her, made fun of her age and left in an old beat up pickup. Typical Trump voter down here. What was terrifying was there were people in line who whispered that they were being treated that way because they were white. This election was all about race, nothing more, nothing less.
We have to work so hard to make sure we throw all of them out in 2018 and again in 2020. These little tax breaks will make a difference with some people. They don't understand they won't last and other taxes will go up much more than what they are getting in their paychecks. They are being manipulated once again, be afraid of the bad brown and black people they want to hurt you and your family, we care see we gave you more money in your paycheck. This is terrifying.
