You Sold It All for a Dozen of Cheap Eggs

The disbelief and regret are getting deep even though it’s only been a week. 

You get what you paid for, and the red side sold their wives, daughters, grandmothers, sisters and any woman they are associated with down the river. They also sold their rights and freedoms and their social programs. 

The Republicans in charge will add taxes and tariffs, therefore taking away your jobs because of those taxes and tariffs, your healthcare because the Affordable Care Act is Obamacare, your retirement meaning your social security and so many more benefits that you obviously didn’t realize you had. 

This includes mass deportations on family and friends, maybe your grandparents or your parents. The shunning of all your family and friends because of what you’ve done to us all. 

And for what? A dozen of eggs that will only go up in price? An economy that will be tanked in 4 years? 

Though it’s only been a few days since the election, I’m honestly not mad any more. I get solace in the fact that though we all are going to pay for this, that maybe, just maybe, you will see the flaw in your decision. That you will see what I see: that this man, this Pumpkinfuhrer lied to you from day 1. 

The other thing is that rich Republicans don’t see you as someone they can help. No, that’s the perview of the Democrats, who start foundations, who try to help where they can. Republicans may spit in your face if you don’t think like them, act like them, have the same skin color and more. What’s even sadder, they can’t take it with them and they will make it generational wealth, passing it all down to their kids, family and friends. Maybe some of them might share but don’t bet on it. 

I’ve always shared when I could and as for me, I’m trying to figure out how to fund a charity where people can come to apply for money for those emergencies like food, medication and hospital bills. Right now, I’m not sure just how I’m even going to fund it because you all closed off a lot of avenues for me to do that. 

And all this is, or will be, happening because you thought we were only talking about trans people, which we weren't. And that's not discounting the fact you thought we weren't listening but then again, you weren't even speaking to us. Communication is the real key to this struggle.

Here's the real scoop folks: in all my travels in the world, I have found that people are basically the same everywhere and they all want the same...to provide for their family, make sure they have great housing, make sure they are adequately fed through well priced food, and to send their kids to college or a trade school so that their children have a chance at a better life. 

Did I miss anything for the people of America? For the families?

So, you've done some assuming where you shouldn't have. You should have done your research, your homework. You shouldn't have assumed anything as it made an ass out of you and me. You never even tried to know me or why I think the way I do or see the world the way I do.

Again, I have to remember, this is your lesson to learn, not mine. 

The sad part is I have no choice but be along for the ride...you can check out the regrets and fears of others...just watch this video:

And this one:

Until next time, I am the resistance.

America ~ What have you done? ~ #LibertyDies #AmericaCries #StartingOver

So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause. ~ Princess Amidala, Star Wars 3

My country died tonight. The one I was born in, the one I grew up in, the one I fought to get back to when a job circumstance took me out of it. Many of you will think that I’m am wrong but let’s think about this for a moment from my perspective.

I am a true believer of the words written on the Statue of Liberty: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!  The other things I truly believe in are government without religious interference, a place where I am free to make decisions about my own body, a country where there is no glass ceiling because I’m a woman, a country where all can get married that want to get married, a place that readily accepts the LGBTQ community without prejudice, a place for Hispanics as well as those of the Muslim faith and I truly believe the people of America have elected someone who will be the death of democracy.

Trump’s rhetoric wasn’t aimed at the populace who voted him in, mainly uneducated white Christian males. He just touched a nerve, played on their fears and frustrations made so by the system as it stands. No, it was aimed at the minorities that stand to lose the most. It was putting them on notice. We must keep them safe at all cost. We must keep their freedom safe at all cost. If we don’t, we are not keeping to the original tenets of this country. Times change and our outlook needs to change too of that I am sure. I am sorry if many don’t want it…too late…it’s here in a big, big way. Change this way is a slap in the face and it more than likely won’t give us the results we want.

There is room for everyone in this world, not matter who they are. It’s time to get race, sex, sexual orientation, political affiliation and religion off the table as judging tools and discord. This country needs to remember who we are…we the people…that’s who we are. We don’t give in, we don’t give up, we don’t elect those who won’t serve us all. We are hurting, though some of us are jubilant, but we’re all still we the people.

That means no matter who you are, you need to get along with your fellow Americans. We need to look beyond this election and realize the fact the fight isn’t over. The fight for good will never be over. The man who has been elected is repulsive and horrid and everything so many of us aren’t. We have to deal with it and use the system to fight him. Use our democracy to override what he wants and make it what we the people want. We need to make sure that this rich, arrogant man won’t stick it to each and every one of we the people.

I wish I could believe his speech as he accepted that he had won. But I can’t. I can’t because of his actions. He will need a lot of positive actions to get my support in any way, shape or form. I know you’re telling me to get over it, grieve, heal, move on…but something is telling me that I’m in the fight for my way of life…for the American way of life.
