The headlines today are making my neurons ache with pain. This whole electoral season has been a flaming ball of crap, hooting and hollering like Slim Pickens riding the fucking bomb. The Alt-right, a public perception friendly term for the rising movement of christian white supremacists who want to continue making people bend to hate, are celebrating the selection of their champion to Donald Trump's cabinet.
I fear for the future, I really do. Demonstration isn't enough anymore. Things are not going to change unless something loud and visible happens. Just look at the Dakota Pipeline. Protestors are being shot, gassed, and sprayed with hoses in freezing water. It's the civil rights movement all over again, and it feels like we really haven't made all the progress we did over these last fifty years.
The roaches are crawling out of the woodwork and they elected their king. Now he's going to run the country. I can't say the words "President Trump" without feeling the bile rise in my throat. Things are going to come to a head, and everyone in America who will not tolerate injustice needs to do something about it. There will be bad things coming soon, I can feel it in the air and smell it in the city.
This is the beginning of what could be the end. We need to be the ones to fix the mistakes of those in power.
Power to the little people...not the orange dictators.
