Eh, great. Feet on the couch is a big
no no? Alright look people. Trump is going to give us years worth
of legitimate fodder to gripe about, to rag on him about, to roast
him over. My God, the man is an instant hit on Twitter. Seriously,
he can't get out of his own way.
Lets roast him on the legitimate crap.
When he says something bombastic, and completely untrue, then attack.
But only do so after you get the entire story. I don't like Trump,
I don't like his staff, and I don't like his politics. I have been
taking some time away for everything because I don't like what I am
seeing. I want to clear my mind, get right with myself, and look at
things from an objective standpoint. After a few months away, of not
really commenting on politics, not really being a hard core observer
of the state of affairs, I am getting there.
But, at this point, I see some very
distressing things. Take, for instance, this couch incident.
Everyone is blowing up over Conway having her feet on the couch in
the oval office. We aren't looking at what was happening around this
event. We have come to the point that we are unable to see the
forest for the trees. We are allowing ourselves to be baited into
bad arguments, making statements without knowing what is going on,
and we are damaging our credibility each and every time.
We are attacking people, without having
our facts straight, and yes, I am guilty of it as well. But we have
to stop doing that. We have to be more concerned about the facts of
a situation, not the people involved. Look, resist Trump, fight his
ideals that are not what is best for the majority of people. Fight
his ideals that are racist, xenophobic, homophobic and sexist. Fight
these ideals with facts and ideals that benefit all. Do not fight
them with anger and hatred, because let me tell you, when you sink
down to their level, they will always win with experience.
Look, I said from day one that Trump
would be bad for America, and I stand by that, until I am proven
wrong. Fight the issues, the people will fall, but rise above being
petty, ignorant, and hateful. That is the only way we can change
things. Failure to do so, will only cause more harm to those issues
you hold near and dear. We are, after all, supposed to be better
than that, we mostly try to take the high road, to not fall into the
trap of fake news, and that is what we are all doing now. It has to
stop.
As I said, Trump and his
administration, the GOP and conservatives in all branches of
government will give us plenty of fodder to roast them with. They
always have the plan, but never can live up to the expectations
people put in place for them. They know how to play the game, they
know how to campaign, but they never have figured out how to win the
game, or govern. Lets not give them the win, or more chances at
failed governance.
You want to stop Trump in four years?
That starts today, by poking holes in his policy, pointing out the
flaws. It starts by holding all politicians accountable for their
flaws in political ideology. It doesn't start with poking holes in
them. Sure, its nice to twist something a politician said, and by
all means, it is fair game, but only after you have all the facts.
We have a chance to start reversing
things in 2018. All we have to do is stick to the facts. Sure,
facts don't always work with all people, but they do work with some
people, and all we need do is buy time, put the facts out there, and
not fall for stupid distractions based on misinformation. We all
have to work towards this end, or we will hand the game to the
opposition.
