PERHAPS, BUT

 Perhaps. But then again NOT

Sports, as in Professional sports, should never meld into politics. Really! So athletes can promenade on a field wearing their version of their country’s colors sing their National Anthems wave their flags, and pretend that anti-LGBTQ, anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-freedoms, and liberties are family secrets and nobody else’s business.

 

Becoming an Anti-Trump is now a righteous Republican quality. Really! He was a good guy acting as a wanna-be dictator. He encouraged Bigots, Racists, Xenophobes, Anti-Semites, and Homophobes to step forward and take priority. He incited a Coup attempt and motivated treasonists to overtake the Capitol. But that was cool, and he was cooler. Except when too many loons didn’t win their elections, so suddenly being anti-Trump is the right-wing thing to do.

 

Jews, LGBTQ Latins, and African Americans in America are free to vote Republican. Really! Let me guess, it’s all about the Benjamin, and the economy somehow (pardon the pun) trumps morals and ethics. Let me guess, religion as in the Jews think the Evangelicals are better friends of Israel, the Latins, and the African Americans can be disgusted with the un-Christian-like actions of the LGBTQ and the upper financial echelon of LGBTQ are more invested in their Capitalistic material well-being than equality.

 

Crime is real. Really! Which crimes are we speaking of. The crimes are only in urban areas, of course not in rural towns. Not the crimes each time a State Legislature creates politically gerrymandered districts. Not the crimes of lying about election results and threatening the Poll Workers. Not the crimes of participating in a COUP. Not the crimes of a tax system that only seems to Trickle Up.

 

Hypocrisy is all around us. Bullshit lounges on the ground from which politicians walk. And way too many of us prefers to look away. Perhaps But then please no longer.
