As a loyal American and a true Independent I am excited about how men and women across the nation are rejecting Democratic politicians in Washington and refusing to be ‘lap dogs’ any longer. From a restaurant owner in Lexington Virginia, to a woman with a baby confronting Scott Pruitt and telling him to resign, true patriots are not waiting for the old men and women who have done nothing to take aggressive action and end useless rhetoric.
While Schumer and Pelosi call for “civility,” we, the people, are no longer ‘playing nice.’ When we are attacked by lies, we will counterattack with twice the venom. When our freedoms and our Constitutional rights are ignored by right wing extremists we will take to the streets and demand what belongs to us. When our fellow Americans, whether they be black, Hispanic, Muslims, Jews, the LGBTQ community or all women are victims of hate crimes and simply dismissed as unimportant or insignificant, we will stand with them and refuse to allow prejudice to become the norm in America.
If we encounter Trump or a member of his circle of sinners in a public venue they will feel our wrath. Fascism and a plutocracy are unacceptable. This country is not a mass of land, structures designed to be edifices to the wealthy, or huge banks dedicated to serving the super-rich, the United States is people. This country belongs to us and no damn politician; no obese failed businessman; is going to take it from us. This is a revolution soon to become a war. We are 320 million strong and our votes are as lethal as a hydrogen bomb. Every time an American casts their ballot for a candidate who is dedicated to all of our nation’s people it is a death blow to right wing traitors who support America’s first fuhrer.
The once great Democratic Party, the party of the people, is returning to its principles. New leaders are emerging and very few of them are in office today, but will be soon. They have names no one ever heard of; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Beto O’Rourke.
Today Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, who is a clone of her father with more expensive haircare and makeup, was verbally accosted by true Americans. While entering a school in Syracuse, New York, protestors attacked her hypocrisy. The only recognizable female member of the Trump Klan claimed to be at the high school to engage in a discussion about workforce development programs, another thing she knows nothing about. All her workers are slave laborers in China.
The protestors carried signs and shouted chants including “shame” and “Ivanka! Do you know where their children are?” They were obviously referring to Trump’s personal policy of separating children from their parents who were seeking asylum in the United States.
No member of Trump’s white trash family or his circle of sinners is exempt from public anger and outrage. They have earned it and we will give it to them.
It’s time for Schumer, Pelosi, and the other old, white Democrats to follow Maxine Waters and other younger Democrats or get the hell out of the way. Their time is over. A new, more progressive and aggressive party is stepping forward to save America. Republicans are cowards and can be defeated with a combined effort by Americans who care.
