In reply to the discussion: DUer niyad asked me to make this an OP. Why my background makes me despise trump. [View all]MyOwnPeace
(16,987 posts)25. Among all of the atrocities IQ45 has done .......
what he has done to the 4th estate is among the most deplorable. We, as a "nation" - NEED someone we can turn to to find the truth.
The WAR that he has fought against the press only shows how important a free press is. I'm guessing you've gone through a few TV's after throwing something at them for another idiotic "blast" that he's made.
I certainly love and appreciate your sharing your own story - and I can only hope that those still out there in the battlefield of "following the Prez" have the same dedication and commitment that you did.
You are a gift here at DU - THANK YOU!

Reading this was cathartic. I hope it was for you too even though it won't stop Trump
