  • Kill em with kindness

    Remember this, just because someone didn’t go to or graduate from college doesn’t make them MAGA. Trump the man child resonating with uneducated Americans is not about stupidity. Stupid and uneducated are not the same.

    Uneducated people have a moral compass, care about people who are different than themselves, care about immigrants, equality, LGBTQ+ individuals and the environment. Trump used threats and fear to rally support. College educated people are better prepared at responding to threats and a fear-based person attempting to lead and that’s a big reason why we didn’t vote for Trump.

    Calling people stupid doesn’t win them over, it doesn’t encourage them to think for themselves. When a person is called stupid over and over again, they respond to threats and fear in unhealthy ways when undereducated Americans voted for Trump.

    The way forward is to not insult Americans and to not call Americans stupid. The way to vote better leaders into office is by encouraging Americans to be better people and think for themselves.

    We are stuck with Trump for another year. If we impeach Trump next year we need all the support we can get, that includes treating MAGA with emotional support and encouragement to impeach.

    Calling people stupid and saying MAGA is a cult doesn’t support their ability to make a resounding vote by Americans to impeach. Forgiving the vote for Trump is the way to encourage MAGA to vote and elect better officials.

    The majority of American voters responding to Trump had to do with preexisting problems in American entertainment. What Americans consider entertainment apposed to what Americans consider cruelty is a big problem. Calling people dumb and stupid is not entertaining; it perpetuates fear and is threatening.

    Encourage undereducated Americans to impeach Trump by being kind. Lead with compassion and with care towards Americans regardless of who they voted for.

    Stand up for yourself and others. Speak out against tyranny and authoritarianism. Speak up for immigrants and the environment and against Trump. I believe it would be difficult to forgive Trump for deporting a law-abiding American immigrant member of your family. There is a lot of hate and rage about Trump for doing this.

    Center the hate and rage in your core and melt it into compassion. Fight hate with kindness, This is how we will overcome.

    Kill Em With kindness

  • This is a first

    I’ve never done this before. I want to thank United States President Donald Trump. I was raised in Democratic homes. And in Democratic neighborhoods. I was taught that us Democrats were correct in many more ways and Republicans were wrong in many ways. I’ve always voted Democrat and don’t anticipate that changing.

    A truth is. There are two sides to a coin and two sides to a story. In a boxing match there are two fighters. In a boxing arena each fighter needs their opponent to fight. In politics words are what are used to win a debate, a campaign, an election.

    In the worst case men and women turn to violence, and is something I condemn. I’ve never seen Trump speak live at a rally. That’s ok. Rhetoric is a word usually referred to with a negative tone. The truth is that both Democrats and Republicans use rhetoric in their speeches and my guy or gals rhetoric sounds a lot better to me than the opposition’s rhetoric.

    There have always been either a Democrat POTUS or a Republican POTUS in charge of the white house in Washington DC since I was born. And this is how it is today. While many Americans are weary of the two party system, it has worked long before I was born and through the years. It makes sense to me that there are two parties continually jockeying for power. Right, wrong. Left, right. True, false. Fact, fiction. Here, there. Then, now. These are opposites and while it is said that opposites attract they also repel.

    I am open to a different political party coming into power in DC and I don’t anticipate that happening anytime soon. Donald Trump has managed to keep war away from United States. Sometimes it takes a physically strong man to show strength and shake off threats from a foreign adversary. Was United States threatened by foreign adversaries before Donald Trump began his second term? The answer is yes and no. In general no and there are terrorists in the world that would harm Americans and American interests if they could.

    Is terrorism a threat to United States? Yes and no. In general no and it is very important for Americans to stay vigilant to protect our interests domestically and around the world from terrorists that would otherwise take advantage of us if we let our guard down.

    I think Trump is doing well in these regards. A Change of power of leadership in United States at the top happens every four to eight years. It has been this way since long before I was born, through the years and currently on schedule. Some percentage of Americans have expressed concern that Trump will remain president after 2028. I for one have not bought into that rhetoric. Were not there. It’s 2025. I don’t see that happening and I don’t see many US citizens concerned with the topic.

    America has changed a whole lot from when I was a young boy. The Cold War ended. The Cold War was something I learned that ended when I was a young boy. Donald Trump is older and lived through more of the Cold War until it ended. The Cold War was a long lasting and pervasive threat to Americans for many years. I grew up at the tail end of the Cold War and I’m sure Baby Boomers have their own take as to what the Cold War meant to them.

    From what I’ve learned there were no casualties in the Cold War. No bombs dropped, no missiles launched, and no fighter jets deployed. From what I’ve learned the Cold War was a build up of tension and verbal hostility between U.S.A. and Russia what was known as U.S.S.R. at the time and a build up of weapons of war. Eventually the tension dissipated, and verbal hostility cooled and the stockpiles of weapons of war were reduced. It was a victory for U.S.A. and for U.S.S.R. both. A win win.

    United States is at peace on our soil. We are protected by our military domestically and the brave men and women of the US military are stationed around the world protecting our interests abroad. It is a blessing US is at peace on our soil and that’s not to say there is not crime on our streets. Crime is a problem in every city in the US and in smaller communities to some extent. Counteracting crime is not my work and is not my call.

    The conservative approach is different than the liberal approach not just when it comes to crime but also economics. There are many topics I disagree with Donald Trump about. I can leave it at that.

    I’m better off not defining liberals and conservatives something younger generations will surely do as they grow and choose who to stand up and vote for and sink their teeth into details of specific causes they believe in and build their opinions including everything worth fighting for, hopefully in a civilly and in debate.

    God bless America

    My post today is about ways to be an American United States Citizen and be proud of who you are while being sensitive to people around the world who do not have freedoms Americans do. First of all, Freedom isn’t free. People around the world should feel free to live in the country where they were born. Even in United States this freedom to live in US when you were born in US is being questioned.

    If a US Citizen breaks the law I think they should be held accountable and brought to justice. I don’t think they should be deported. The idea that US Citizens could be deported makes no sense. Dual citizens for example of United States and Mexico have more freedoms to live and travel between both countries. This might seem like a great freedom but in fact it means much more. If you are a dual citizen of US and Mexico it is inferred that you are loyal to both countries. US and Mexico are allies and we share our southern border. It’s easier for US Citizens to travel back and forth to and from Mexico.

    Mexicans have a more difficult time traveling back and forth between US and Mexico for several reasons. United States economy is stronger that Mexico’s economy. Mexicans often want to migrate to US because of opportunities in US that are not available in Mexico. Americans from as far south as Chile travel north to Mexico trying to migrate to US. When they arrive at the US Mexico border it’s difficult for US Border Patrol to identify what country they are from.

    The US Mexico border is the last line of defense US Citizens have from keeping unwanted Americans out of United States. What makes an American born south of United States border want to migrate to United States include many reasons. Their reasons are not always good enough. Just like any country around the world, United States wants citizens with good reasons to be here. Being born in United States is a good reason to live in US most of the time. By most I mean the vast majority of the population of United States who were born in US deserve the right to live in US.

    US Citizens who live in US and commit a crime should be held accountable and brought to justice that includes serving time in jail or prison in United States. I don’t understand why a US Citizen who is found to have committed a crime would be deported. US soil is precious. US prisons are often overpopulated. It’s still US soil on US land. And people in jail and in prison should serve their time until their sentence is done.

    Be a law abiding citizen is what to do. Many US Citizens break the law and should be held accountable and brought to justice and serve time in jail or prison in US. Many more US Citizens are law abiding. That’s the way to live.

    An American born south of the US border who wants to migrate to US might want to claim political asylum. If the country they fled is killing or mistreating their citizens is a reason a person born in a foreign country might have to apply to US Government claiming political asylum.

    The world overall is safe for people in their own country and that is not the case in every country around the world. Were there are wars citizens of war torn countries have good reasons to leave to a country that accepts them if they are not going to fight back or can’t fight back.

    Americans in US have it good. We are free to live in our country and we are free to travel and migrate to a foreign country. These are precious freedoms. Life is precious.
