Because my Dad was a union man

I was raised to be a yellow dog Democrat.
My uncles all served in the military. My father and my brother had deferment because of essential defense jobs.
It chills me to the bone that a traitor actually was president.
I hope he is convicted and imprisoned because he has betrayed everything My family and I believe.

my father was a Marine and served in WWII. He was a strong union man. I was raised in a strong union Democratic family. My father was a truck driver in the Minnesota mines. His union made sure he was well taken care of when he retired. I am glad he never saw what the slobfather did to this country.

My dad would be sickened to witness our current state of affairs. He reposed at age 45 from an aortic aneurysm.
