As Americans disrespect, misrepresent and circumvent.
They are ruled and decide by perception and emotion.
Republicans pick to their Party’s core for their devotion.
Those who know better don’t stand up.
They show fealty to Trump.
Instead of staying in the fight even if it means supporting the other side.
They leave, opening their seats to more radical and extreme.
Some Republican leaders prefer to participate in genocide than take risks to possible political suicide.
Attempts made to educate using Critical Race Theory were quickly shut down.
Other opposing issues written on – gone.
Eliminating Critical Race Theory, a writing in academia is now a political
goal.
Stories of gay cannot be told.
Restricting the American mind.
Hearts won’t be open to diversity that exist in mankind.
Some from dumb to dumber.
Others numb to number.
Hypocrisy in 3-D.
Like those who are publicly against abortion but privately keep it as an option.
They take the side that says contraception kills while they and theirs use the pill.
They stand with those who make strict laws for all babies to be born.
Then they vote to ration access to better health, economic, legal, justice and education.
In a perfect world, the systems of charity will be efficient and sufficiently successful.
But in this one, it isn’t.
That’s the piece that they keep dismissing.
They speak as if having the child is an easy ride.
And judge all who think otherwise.
The GOP, when convenient to their cause, give power to the States.
Reducing, separating – no more for united.
But once the governor has the rod, the local power is gone.
Their belief of – Power to the People and less government – doesn’t trickle down.
The Governor can dominate, discriminate and dictate.
America’s course has not been solely because of what the leaders do.
It’s to which Americans choose.
A sad state of affairs when people poke holes into their own boat.
Then they refuse help that can keep them afloat.
“God”, Trump and guns – they say that’s all that they want.
They also favor whatever the Party brings.
Those become their fix.
Not only do they use their votes for suppressing and opposing.
They are into diverting, distorting and replacing.
To deal with their grievances and for their solutions.
Some of which are blown out of proportion.
Others are trumped up.
Racism and corruption making US less safe and unstable.
A society less able to sustain and defend itself.
As the true plight of victims and the marginalized are minimized.
Reducing cycles of care and contempt to eventually reject and neglect.
A society not ready to face what ails.
Continues to build on hate and discrimination.
We all have faults, but not all have been blatantly and consistently hypocritical.
That prize goes to those on the right.
Yes the left annoy and are sometimes irrationally, demand intricacies of gender identity and specification of pronouns.
But it’s not just that side that needs to slow down.
Many erroneously believe that such re-defining are particular to the left.
Even though those on the right cook just as well.
“Alternative facts” – the right invented that.
Trump’s “big lie” – to endorse, you’re forced to nonsensical.
Take twists and turns that wrap you like a pretzel.
And you have to go against what was known and accepted.
Once clearly defined terms are now meaningless words.
Patriots, terrorists and tourists.
Communists and socialists.
Just a few from a long list of words that they misrepresent.
To misinformation and erroneous messaging.
Christian Walker who says he’s not gay.
Just a Conservative who prefers men – Come again?
He too does not want to be “lumped in”.
Or have his sexuality describe or define him.
Isn’t that the same point those on the left are making?
He is for the side that rejects the Rights of gay.
Is that why he’s re-defining to a new way?
He rejected gay pride.
Will that favor some of his comrade’s minds?
Make him change how he behaves or who he is?
Just deny you’re gay and you will be accepted?
It’s these types of disingenuous runs, of little substance that are typical and signature to conservatives and Republicans.
How is his statement an easier wrap around than what the left dishes out?
The harm done from learning people’s pronoun, will be far less than the belief in alternative facts which directly attacks democracy.
And democracy becomes even more fragile as the right and Trump perpetuate the Big Lie.
Not to mention the GOP’s omission of morality and integrity.
That will bring more danger to society.
Their multiplication of cultural division and divisiveness.
Contributors to America’s single-mindedness and narrow-mindedness.
Many conservatives are in the fight to spite and weaken the other side.
They won’t wear a mask, concede to an injection or negotiate on guns.
But they ban books and manipulate information.
They will have children die at school from gun wounds.
Obviously when the engine wants, it moves.
For what they don’t care, they refuse.
Yet they are stringent and strict to their issues.
Detailing on aspects of not allowing abortion and book content.
All to their interpretation and what is meant.
They can tolerate and are accepting of men deliberately doing harm.
But not a man loving another man.
Or now, only popular conservative men can?
Even if God is against both.
Which is, and will produce for better or to worse?
Reaching for the rich and dragging down the poor?
Or making sure most to all have equal shots to rise?
To decently survive.
Tolerating sickness and denying improvements to health?
Negative effects may remain stealth.
But they will always be there.
Ready and willing to rear its ugly head.
“Woke” in and of itself is not unprincipled.
The GOP makes it so.
As if content and intent are not of importance.
They no longer decide from wrong and right.
It’s to preference and comfort leveled to their mind.
If these are the bricks of choice to build this Nation.
Free and secure will remain figments of our imagination.
And by the time Americans figure out they’ve done to worse.
It will be a long and tedious task to reverse.
