Why should we support protestors?
Having to protest disturbs everyone’s life especially the protestors life. They are not working or
attending school, often facing arrests and violence or even death. Why such
courage for some remote cause? At the very least one’s personal life is
overturned. We all are faced with a level of anxiety that Trump wants to
generate every day.
So, what does one feel compelled
to do every day besides be so angry? Which organizations or candidates should
we endorse or support? How should we stand in opposition to his policies? He
promotes the tearing down of norms and institutions. He is tearing away
our voting rights, women’s right, transgender rights and what do we do to keep
pushing forward for the world that was created before Donald Trump?
This President as clearly displayed
in his countless tweets, thrives on anxiety and insults that leaves us all
always so very much to talk about. Unfortunately this administration is a collision
between cruelty and incompetence which I find myself always calling him the
Hero of the Stupid and I regret that my comment is necessary. Rather than just
scream we go to protests or just urge people to vote. It seems almost every
week now someone in the Trump administration gets fired or decides to
resign. How can any of that chaos get anything done on behalf of the American
people? Granted anyone who works for the President certainly should expect to
be scrutinized for whatever decisions she or he is making but for the decisions
they must make on any given day but why are there so many reckless decisions
being made in our government now?
It is just sad that we have a
President that has a callous disregard for a
thoughtful coherent expert advised foreign policy. Who puts his daughter and
son-in-law with no experience in foreign policy in charge of making decisions
on how America is for or against the policies of foreign countries. I wish that
regardless of the political spectrum Americans sit on, we could all agree on
not encouraging nuclear wars with foreign countries like North Korea. Not befriend
Russia that is funding the killing of civilians in Syria. Not ignore the
Russian influence in American elections. Not have a President who hires his
pool man, daughter’s fashion advisor, personal pilot, golf caddy and reality
show friend to key important high paying jobs that they are clearly unqualified
to perform on any competent level in our government.
We need to never stop persisting
for ethics and morals to be pursued in our world. Right now students are not
going to their badly needed classes to stop what they are doing for their personal
lives to protest and speak loudly and intelligently to law makers on the out of
control gun issues. It has been revealed that Congress hasn’t even done any coalitions
on gun violence in America in the past 20 years. Most Congressmen are heavily funded
by the NRA so they have been ignoring the issue. Too many lives are being lost
to gun violence in America now approaching the millionth number of senseless
deaths. How can we have a say in world
problems if we can’t even solve our own problems? Don’t give up.
