Ranting--

I've avoided ranting on this blog about politics for a hot minute, but really, this government shut-down, and the draconian budget the GOP extremists have put forward, is pure chicanery. Add to that the former prez calling for them to hold the country hostage to-- get this-- end the lawsuits against him. How unbelievably self-centered can he get? Once you think you've seen the bottom of the scummy bucket, there's another level of crap to get through. 

I am truly scared that he and his cronies will win. There will be no coming back from the devastation and corruption, if they do. Weaponizing governmental agencies, using the military as a private source of enforcing one man's terror-dreams, dismantling everything to remake it in a vision of post-apocalyptic wasteland...

and yet, there are so many people who think he's got the right idea. That people need to get over it, and excuse his "mean tweets"--as if that is the worst of what he has wrought. 

I don't know what the way forward looks like, but I fear a future for all of us if this extremism and hateful behavior wins the day.

Please vote for sanity, for a cleaner, healthier, more honest future. Start locally, and work your way up. This rot and ugliness is deeply rooted, and must be exposed for what it is. 

Have a good day,
