I'm totally ashamed to be living in a country where so many people still support Trump. So much for US superiority ... it's really quite humbling.

Ashamed that I've not been able to do more. Humbled that the US has so clearly lost any moral high ground or leadership in the world.

It's not your fault, and it's better here.

And that billboard... yeah, that thing is hard to take!

For some odd reason I could swear that the only time I have to go past it is when there is voting of some kind going on and I have some unusual reason to go past it.

It is just shameful living in a red county in one of the bluest states.

I am never ashamed of actions others take. I am in a red district of Florida. I am working to change that.

Hell, I am proud to be a vocal member of the Democratic Party in my county.

Shame without cause... not signing up for that.

I usually do not feel like this but when I see reports of my county in comparison of the rest of my blue state it hits a nerve. Most of the time I do not feel like this but when it come to what is going on I feel a twinge of shame. It will go away soon enough.
