I don't think we can deny the truth any longer. The likely GOP nominee will be a billionaire businessman who is best known for his disgusting quotes about women, Mexicans, and prisoners of war. This is the same party that produced Abraham Lincoln.
I keep hearing that people are angry, and "voting with their middle finger". I get that. I'm angry too, at a congress that can't seem to work together. I'm angry that the gun violence continues unabated, and that any reasonable suggestions to slow it down are either ignored, or ridiculed because they come from a sitting President that is reviled by the right.
But, angry as I am, I'm not about to be stupid when it comes to my future. If I have a bad day at work, I don't tell my boss to take this job and shove it. If the market has a downturn, I'm not going to sell everything, go off the grid, and build a bomb shelter in my backyard.
So why are so many Americans making the decision to support a racist, narcissistic, misogynist? I'd like to think that at heart, 99.9% of people are good, decent, hardworking folks that just want to live their lives. So are the people voting with their middle finger poorly educated (the billionaire LOVES the poorly educated; he said so himself), or are the cockroaches of America coming out to feast in the darkness?
Cockroaches eat what is available to them: cockroaches that inhabit sewers feed on sewage, while species living on dead trees consume decaying wood. So is America rotting internally, or will this election period shine a light on everything that's wrong with this country and send the cockroaches scattering?
