Last night I watched the Republican National Convention. It was a train wreck and farcical, however, like any train wreck I felt compelled to watch. It made me want to throw up at every speaker. The worshiping of this misogynistic, narcissistic imbecile dumpster fire Orange menace currently occupying the Oval Office was revolting.
After watching my anxiety skyrocketed and it took several hours to settle back down. I felt incredibly sad for the great people and country of the United States. I implore you to do the right thing on November 3rd and not give this POS another 4 years.
In the late afternoon yesterday I was feeling buoyant and upbeat at the great stance taken by professional athlete’s to boycott their games, take a stand. Thank you Milwaukee Bucks for starting the boycott. The National Hockey League had a moment of reflection and played on. Cowards and always a reactive league and not progressive.
Today the Dumpster Fire first unleashed his minion Jared (slum landlord) Kushner to say about the sports boycott that “they are lucky and rich enough to be able to take a night off from work”. Than the Dumpster Fire got in on the act by saying “ I know their ratings have been very bad, I think people are a little tired of the NBA frankly. They have become like a political organization and that’s not a good thing I don’t think that is a good thing for sports or the country”.
Racism can be so subtle, it is like a dog whistle. Did you hear the dog whistle in the 2 quotes? It was there loud and clear. Subtle yet effective. This is white narcissistic privilege. It makes me sick. They have convinced some of the public to drink the Kool-Aid unfortunately it work in 2016. Please don’t let it work again this year.
The rhetoric is disgusting offering up lie after lie, mistruths at every turn. Gaslighting the public at every turn. Creating fear and dividing and conquering. No wonder our (my) mental health teeters on the brink.
I am an eternal optimist, glass half full type of guy, however, my resources are becoming depleted and we still have 60+ days to go. I place my faith in karma. What goes around comes around and their is always a price to pay for our actions.
Be kind always and listen for the dog whistle. When you hear it, call it out.
