Seriously. Please, if you know a white bread middle aged, or any age male who's flapping their gums about Trump being "great for America" Please insist they sell one of their guns, their Lazy-boy recliner, or their lifetime membership to the NRA and invest in a couple college Political Science, Economics and Ethics classes.
We will all be better off.
This is embarrassing for us White Males who got even "C's" in these topics. Every day we're watching the effects of an uninformed public's choice of president. And Senate !!!
Especially, the Republican Senate that voters picked to head our second, equally powerful governing body. This week during the massive hundreds of millions of people demonstrating for racial justice and equality the Republican Senate defeated a bill passed to them from the House of Representatives that would make lynching a federal crime.
You read that right... the Republicans VOTED DOWN a bill that would make lynching a federal crime!!!
This, days after we witnessed the videos of George Floyd being murdered by police. This, while we've seen the KKK endorse Trump, widespread racist attacks and just all out stupid racist mentalities coming to light.
I will concede, I'm a musician, I was too busy playing in bands and missed a lot of my college studies. But, I did try to gain enough basic knowledge of the world from my 180 credits.
I remember the debates about "trickle down economics" and how the wealthy classes and corporate monopolies and oil conglomerates would take over our runaway capitalistic society. I remember my college econ professor predicting the rise in power of the almighty elite. These are the people who elected Trump. They bank-rolled his campaign. They've reaped trillions in tax savings, and benefits from his "screw the little guy, kill the planet" administration.
A little knowledge can help someone make better decisions. For sure, the 2016 election is a case study in fouled up logic.
Trumps been cutting education programs since day one. He wants everyone to be silent, stupid, pay their taxes, work in their crappy jobs while the CEO's a billionaires experience true "great again".
Thankfully, Trump is tanking in almost every other demographic. Especially African Americans, Hispanic, and females... wonder why? But, let's not rely on the masses this time. Something went very wrong in the 2016 election, it was rigged and I know a crap load (college term) of people who didn't vote because they just didn't care... As for that, we are all paying for their lazy apathy. Also, that damn Gerrymandering BS has become the Republicans Apple Pie. They're going to try to cut up our country into little bite-sized Trump wins. Turning Blue sections of our country into Monopoly board games. Because unfortunately that's what "some greedy a-holes" do with their education.
Come on, voters, let's think this one out this time!
