9. Horror story to the max...

While there is always room for better organization and shifting of administrative duties in a gigantic body of governing, this agenda of the Republicans has been to favor, benefit and funnel money to already rich callous white men and their obsessive greed driven corporations for the benefit of themselves and the detriment of everyone else.
Their intolerance, fear, disrespect, bigotry, cruelty, misogyny and racism know no boundaries. Their character is void of any decency or humanity. They don’t even bother to hide it anymore under the guise of fucked up patriotism and Christianity.
They are the worst of human wretchedness.

While it is always good to know they will all eventually die and turn to dirt, the misery and terror they create or try to create for everyone and everything on the planet will never stop.

Obviously they must be stopped.
Obviously a lot of us will be sickened and soul battered in the process.
Obviously we need to get passionately angry and
REFUSE, RESIST and REVOLT.
With every ounce of our strength and courage.
Everyday.
Against all the mountains of insanity and incredulous ignorance, meanness and hate.
Against the dozens of WTF moments that pile up in unbelievable amounts daily.

The offensiveness and stupidity knocks the air out of my heart and brain several times a day.
I have to slap myself out of agonizing anxiety and disbelief and sadness after every outrageous new headline.

The domestic terror perpetrated by this administration is overwhelming.

I’m not a powerful person. I tend to avoid conflict and my nature is to draw myself into whatever protective sanctuary is nearby and huddle for awhile.
But I am stubborn.
And very angry.
And I am my sisters’, brothers’, children’s, all creatures great and small, all things bright and beautiful’s keeper.
So is every DUer here and lurking.
There is power there.
And we have “numbers too big too ignore”
REFUSE RESIST REVOLT
