I made a comment on a recent post on Forward Progressives. The post discussed John McCain (R-AZ) saying that American leadership was better under President Obama and concluded that Republicans sold out their country by embracing Trump. I made a comment that Republicans sold their soul a long time ago. One can argue with the …

Do I Support Democrats
Allen Clifton of Forward Progressives wrote an article talking about how Trump supporters are fragile little snowflakes. I already commented on this post of Allen’s. I received a comment, which I wanted to address. The comment is: no one is saying that democrats are perfect, but at this moment, republicans are running our country and …
Commentary on Trump’s Followers Being Snowflakes
Allen Clifton wrote that Trump’s followers are snowflakes. Here is a quote from the beginning, which I like: I’ve often mocked the belief among many Trump supporters that he’s this “tough-talking, confident, tells-it-like-it-is alpha male” type.

The Corruption of the Republican Party
I talked with someone last night and the state of the Republican Party came into the discussion.

What Everyone Regardless of Party Must Do
So much of politics is governed by talking points, reciting facts the media give (okay relates mostly to the right, but the left is equally guilty), and of course voting the party ticket as given to each voter, because people are lazy, ignorant, not involved in politics/civics, and an idiot. People feel that their vote …

Just Add Murder
The title is a play on the Amazon original series, Just Add Magic. Everyone here in the United States needs a bit of magic and unified hard work to keep us safe from the likes of Trump and the right, which are hell bent on enacting policies that directly leads to murder, mayhem, and anarchy. That …
The Possible End of Era Where Everyone Looks Up to Us
Trump is not really the end of an era, as this Politico article mentions, as for years for a variety of reasons, some of our own doing and some not, our influence and leader status diminishes. Every time we show ourselves as a spectacle, we get laughed at and diminished. If we do not have …
