Boy my shoulders ache. No wonder. I have the weight of the world on my shoulders, a worry of the world falling to pieces in front of my very eyes! I never thought in a million years that the country that I live in, that I live in could be like other distant countries with tyrannical leaders. How arrogant of me to think that, that kind of evil power hungry nonsensical madness could happen here in America.
Why not here? We have humans inhabiting here like anywhere else on this globe. Time and time again, there have been insane leaders at the helm throughout history and you often wonder how could the people of that country let that happen? How could such an individual only looking for power and ego stroking could end up in the position of leader of an entire country?
I remember thinking, what did the German people see in Adolf Hitler? How was that screaming scary man with a stubby little mustache charismatic? That's what they said, that he was charismatic in the way he spoke. He spoke. The people listened.
With our current President-Elect, it astonishes me, puzzles me that people listen to him speak. He speaks so simply, with a small arsenal of vocabulary, repeating awful things, outrageous things, and disparaging so many individuals; the people listened. Congress and the Senate may have whimpered a little and did a little tap on the wrist, saying that was not appropriate or spoken in a way that wasn't appropriate. But no outright outrage, no real damning condemnation and so, the campaign moved on. This is not allowed and will not be tolerated. Nope. The show went on and continued and continued, with more and more outrageous stunts including parading Bill Clinton's accusers to the Presidential Debate to seal the deal in ultimate lack of decorum and humiliation of another. Gloves were off and the people watched with blood lust.
And here we are in America, now with a President-Elect that is terrified of the Press, most likely because he can't answer questions with knowledge and can't handle one iota of criticism. He knows the Press would skewer him on every level, conflicts of interest, crazy outrageous inappropriate Cabinet picks, Pay for Play Cabinet picks (you donated to my campaign; you get a job), Russia, Tax Returns, Brand Trump This, Brand Trump That, White Supremacy, Asking for lists of the EPA employees who support Climate Change, Asking the State Department for all Gender Equality agencies....what's with asking for lists of names? This feels really creepy. Are we in a censorship, rounding up dissidents-like dictatorship? It feels like our freedom is being squashed and the walls are closing in.
What did Trump Supporters think Donald Trump could do for them?
He is a bully. He is crazy. He only cares about himself and his family. He doesn't even care about Melania....clearly, freshly married, when you are the most in love with your new spouse, you wouldn't want to even look at someone else, let only kiss them or whatever.... He only cares about his needs, his wants, his name..... Look at his cabinet picks. They all will benefit from Donald Trump and fatten their pockets with the money train that Donald Trump will certainly reap.
We have lost Public Service. We have lost peace. We have lost manners, politeness, kindness - human decency.
We have become a tyrannical state. America has fallen.
My shoulders hurt from the worry. I worry for the world as history repeats itself with tyrannical dictators but the rules have changed, the technology has changed and the weapons have changed.
God Bless America. May good prevail over evil.
Because, really, my shoulders can't hold up this heavy weight much longer.
