(8,062 posts)there absolutely is at least two tiers of justice -- one for the rich, white, xtian male and one for the rest of us. The first's wheel grind exceedingly show; the latter races through the process.
Like you, I'm a veteran and have been feeling like that all that is for naught now. I think of my Dad, how proudly he served in WWII, the stories he came back home with... and the pain. And I remember how proud he was when I announced I had just enlisted in the Air Force. I'm so glad he's no longer here to witness what has become of the country he fought so hard for. Me... I feel like a sucker. All the gains I fought for in my generation for us, for women in general, are all being thrown out the window once again. Like you, I'm too old to go through another go-round to get them back. And we all know, what is lost is so hard to regain. It can be ripped away in a moment, but take generations to get back once again.
I feel like committing some crime, and then screaming "If trump can do it, so can I!"... but I know that's never going to happen. For one thing, I don't know how to crime like trump and his minions. Nor can I knowingly hurt another person, even if it profits me. I look at trump, and I can still look in my mirror and see a better person than him staring back at me.
I have not sold my soul for t or capitalism yet, and I doubt seriously it's ever going to happen. Let him call me sucker and loser all he wants. At least I wear my grey hair proudly!
