I know what day it is. But pardon me if I’m not exactly feeling “Yay America!” today (or any day recently).
In this country, we preach (and will blindly praise today, specifically) freedom. And yet, there is a growing amount of Americans who are moving toward a situation where the only freedom that exists is for blessed group of people, not all people. It’s not the point of this country. And it’s disheartening (to put it mildly).
We are also approaching a place where a large amount of Americans are willing to give another presidency to someone who is openly dictatorial, and not ashamed to say so. Who advocates for open hostility and political retribution toward his “enemies”. Who has openly said he will not accept the results of an election where he doesan’t win (oh, btw, he’s already done that!). And who is very proud of his affiliation with the leader of Russia. (Side Note: I thought the world was joined in on the idea of dis-liking this guy. Can’t we all agree on that?!?! And yet, here we are.)
So, again, pardon me for not being ecstatic about the current political climate of this country that I live in (and love, by the way). I am waiting for someone or something to wake people up to what’s at stake this November. It’s the difference between the America we have known vs. the Russia we now know.
