Is not a conflict between those who love the POTUS, and those who hate him.
There is some of those who believe Obama could walk on water, make wine from water, and feed the multitudes from one loaf of bread. There were those during the Bush years too. So partisans are what they are...
But truly this is a conflict between constitutionalists, who know freedom can be risky, and have one risks to it, and those who prefer to live under an authoritarian state. This is exactly what we are seeing. And all insults will not change this.
Some of us bought into the American myth, to the point we chose to become citizens and took an oath to the constitution, not a man, or a party. I don't care what letter is behind a name, they are threatening the republic, and the freedoms granted as rights...among them is the 4th amendment.
My view does not change just because the guy who sits in the WH has a D or an R behind their name. These are fundamental attacks...
Oh and the myth is dead. Period. Full stop, end of discussion.
Such is life...and at this point I don't worry if you think it is due to melanin content, that is your problem, or some other form of derangement whatever. That is your problem. Making it personal is a way of distracting from the actual issue.
But, but...republicans will attack my rights as a woman!!!! Yup, and...attacking women's rights is a marker of totalitarian states, part of the same sauce, just a tad stronger. So the lesser of two evils will not be effective for much longer. I gotta wonder how many others have figured out that voting is really not going to be the major saving difference that we were promised?
I know I will vote, but care that much over federal elections? No, not really...at fundamental levels, such as issues of war and peace and spying on the population it matters little.
