I have never liked bullies [View all]
From my earliest memories, I have always been sickened by bullies. Maybe I was bullied as a kid or maybe I grew up with a bully as a parent. I have always been a tall intimidating adult. A gentle giant perhaps and couldn't imagine bullying someone smaller than myself. Bullying sickened me to the point that I would step in and help smaller kids being bullied by bigger kids when I was young.
Seeing the bully-in-chief drive a wedge between this country and our trading partners and strategic allies using the same bullying tactics a spoiled rotten 5-year old might use makes me feel exactly like I am witnessing psychotic bully on a scale hard to even conceive of until now.
Witnessing this country becoming the bully of the world and aligning itself with murderous dictators and openly hostile states makes me ashamed to even admit that I am an American. First he divided families, then he divided us from our closest neighbors and allies, now he wants to take down burgeoning democracies. We need to shutdown Washington with protests so large, that we take our country back.
