(4,252 posts)He loves Trump. He said he would die for Trump. He is always telling me he is proud to be ignorant of anything outside of the USA. He watches FOX and thinks Hannity should be president. We went to the same schools. I am almost deaf so I spent my childhood and teens in the library reading. I went around the world, in the past, present and future. I loved national Geographic. I love JFK.
I got my much needed hearing aid in Canada with the help of Canadian doctors.
I am of Polish heritage. Both sets of Grandparents came to Ellis Island in the 20s. My mother forbid me to learn Polish. She was ashamed of being from immigrants. My mother only read the shopping ads. My dad only. read the sports page. When they were alive they both lovedTrump.
I read the NY daily News while Eichmann was on trial. I was 12. Reading made my beliefs and how I think today.
Once My mother told me I was weird because I read.
I went to Obama's 1st inauguration party in Toronto. I Stood next to his cardboard image proudly to have my picture taken. I Gave my best friend a windshield air purifier with Obama's picture I got at that party. She still has it hanging in her car to this day.
I left America in 1969. Became a Canadian in 1993. Relinquished my American citizenship the same year.
I still care about my neighbor to the south.
I must warn you there are many people like my brother and friends in blue state NJ who hate Obama and love Trump.
I feel sickened at the thought of these people full of hatred in control of my motherland.
Up here in Canada most of are hoping Trump is voted out.
Mr. Baur was right in 1964. The collapse of USA democracy is happening in the time frame he predicted. Mr. Baur was my US history teacher in high school. Two years ago he wrote me and told me I made the correct choice coming to Canada.
Pray, protest, campaign and vote that POS out.
PS I have been visiting Cuba for years now, after going to Florida for winters. Cuba is wonderful. A Canadian bus driver visited Cuba before Castro and after. He told me the people are vastly better off under Castro. Just the rich Cubans before Castro are not. I always think of that scene in Godfather II of new years eve where the rich Cubans were celebrating. Once the revolution began They left with their riches they could take to Florida.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
