Perhaps it is my compassion, maybe my own life experiences, I might just be one of those snowflake liberals, but I am torn as to how snide, how sincere, how sympathetic or empathetic or just how much I told you so, I am supposed to be when the anti freedom for others/ the self perceived victims/the this is and was a Jesus country/ the listeners of Limbaugh/the viewers of FOX and voters of Trump are now coming out of their own closets and decrying the lying, astonished at the BS/disappointed with the about face/and perplexed as well as pissed off that the man who we knew nothing about, except for his bragging about his own invented narcissistic successes is found to be the fraud, oh too many of us were warned about and understood from the beginning. The dam of Trump/Putin alternative facts has not burst completely but fissures, cracks and mini leaks have been evident since this described Baby Born Again Christian, placed his small hands on a Bible and took the Oath of Office.
Today I watched a video of a man who attended each and every Trump rally, even writing a song about Trump making America great again, sobbing, crying, about his son, who has died of opioid abuse. Trump, according to this man promised he, could do a better job, of course never providing details except for adjectives like better and smarter, and with the Trump budget plans and the GOP’s plan to strip down affordable health care to only those who can afford to be healthy, this Trump Guy is disillusioned. The guy tells a sad story, but am I supposed to now feel for him…did he worry about the transgendered kids who will still get bullied, about the families living in poverty who now may have to decide about prioritizing food, heat, or health care…was there any concern for the immigrant families…the LGBT families…when he voted for Trump?
This guy is not alone…the coal miner from West Virginia who discovered coal ain’t clean but black lung disease is dirty and Trump ain’t gonna fix either…or the lady who thought her husband voted republican, so his being an immigrant was different than those rapists from Mexico and she watched ICE drag her husband away…or the lady in Kentucky who thought her Meals on Wheels delivery was different because she was white and really too frail to leave the house. I am perplexed, honestly wondering, should I embrace these people, who, unless the Trump lies had not affected them personally would still be wearing those red hats, and hating anyone Trump’s team of White Supremacists/ Russian bought and paid for hacks/FOX and Breibart New told them was the enemy. This IS a difficult decision. They encouraged the con/they bought the snake oil/they swore their Lord and Savior picked the bad guy…and now they are seeing the light, because NOW it affects their selfish lives. What to do, what to do!
