I am more concerned about …
Betraying what the flag stands for than burning it.
The pregnant woman in the ER than the maybe-viable and life-threatening fetus she is carrying.
Protecting each American’s liberties than preserving each American’s comfort level around any other given American.
I understand …
There are actually two ways to reduce a deficit.
People who only talk about one way aren’t really interested in deficits.
For the entirety of the modern American right wing, it has never really been, and never will be, about the deficit.
I believe …
Bravado is no substitute for strength.
Bluster is no substitute for diplomacy.
Bullshit is no substitute for rhetoric.
I also understand that …
The social safety net benefits way more people than it serves.
Wealthy people who spend large sums to influence lower tax rates represent a personal moral failure and should not be trusted in public discourse.
Every American who remains a billionaire for more than three years represents a national economic policy failure that furthers the risk to our republic.
I am not afraid of …
Paying the taxes I owe.
People of other backgrounds having more babies than people of my background.
Fact-checkers.
I check all those Boxes too. I was so Triggered by the ICE Raids and what’s happening in LA and how skewed the coverage is skewed, that I did a long Manic ranty Blog Post. The Bad Actors aren’t really Immigration Protestors, just Bad Actors taking advantage of a Situation that is being Politically weaponized by a wannabe Authoritarian who has Wet Dreams about turning our Military against our own Citizens to subdue and punish those who don’t kiss the Ring or bend the Knee, especially Blue States.
