First of all, Alexainie, you are special to me, and I apologize if anything I’ve said hit you the wrong way. I also apologize if anything I say, going forward, does so. Above and beyond anything else, if you were in danger, I’d fuck some shit up it if would make you and your kids safe.
That’s how I operate. I’m not afraid of Trump and I don’t much give two shits about him. Same with Hillary. If she had gotten elected I’d be just as sick of the bullshit conservative spiel over her. It would be the same bullshit, other side of a coin.
I’ve seriously typed this response about 4 times and each time I go off on some anti-party tirade. :p
The truth is, Trump had no idea what he was getting into. He’s flailing about. He’ll either manage to make history as the first successfully impeached president or he’ll do his four years and get the fuck out.
Then we’ll end up with the next piece of shit, and the people on that piece of shit’s side will laud him/her as a object of worship, and the people on the losing side (these are adults we’re talking about being on sides as pathetic as it may be *sigh*) will find any excuse to make playground insults for the next 4 to 8 years without shutting the fuck up.
It’s too ridiculous for me to take seriously.
I’m only really worried about our piece of shit government starting another war with someone else’s piece of shit government and then sending poor people to die over it. If we’ve proven anything through the presidencies of both Bush Jr. and Obama, it’s that marijuana is more important than human life and that we can’t exit a war or conflict for shit. We jump in, fuck shit up and then linger with no goddamn idea what to do next. :/
These other things we get so worried about, it’ll pass as it always does. Same sex marriages are legal; abortion is still legal and still receives taxpayer funding, whether the taxpayer agrees with that or not; states, not the fed gov, are waking up about marijuana; we’re still being taxed to hell and back; college enrollment among women is dwarfing that of men; women can pretty much say or do anything, except walk down a dark alley at night or get drunk at a frat house party; we still single-handedly fund the world’s ‘narcotic’ problem while pretending to fight it; we’re still putting drug abusers in jail and paying private companies to imprison them.
Neither the white-boy shit-kicker nor the black-guy messiah made an appreciable impact on any of that.
Trump is the same. The people who hate him want everyone to think he’s going to have rape in the streets of the capital, legalize ass-grabbing, put women back in the kitchen pregnant, put on a little mustache and start murdering non-white people, and not because they want you aware of it or to prevent it, but to serve their own shitty agenda.
Fear is a powerful weapon. We need to all remember that it fueled the Nazi regime, and us not being Germany doesn’t change that. They want you scared. Scared people are easily controlled and directed.
If it had been Hillary elected, it would be the same situation with different fears, same objectives.
YOU are a fantastic parent. I know you’ve had your issues and some really REALLY shit times, but I’d have been lucky to have been with someone like you, having kids. Trust me, you’re a good parent, a great parent. You’re better than mine were, and you seem to think I’m a’right. ;)
Be smart (you are), but don’t be afraid, at least not more than a parent simply has to be. To badly paraphrase an old saying be the good/change that you want to see in the world. That’s what I’m doing (or, rather, trying!).
‘Ugh. I can’t win.’
You win every time you wake up as you. I happen to know the world lights up just a little bit more when you do. ;)
‘Just be glad you’re in love. It really does make the harshness of the world seem softer’
Just remember, in the 139 days that Hannah and I have been together, we’ve been able to see each other on 28 of those. I saw her two days ago. We had three days together. It’s not fair. Maybe I’m so distraught at every day I can’t be with her that I selfishly don’t care about the bigger world around me, or maybe the fact that I can barely ever be with the one person in this world I want to be with more than anything else makes me absolutely fucking disgusted with the pointless bickering I’m constantly exposed to by people who have so much and still want to act like assholes.
I hope you know none of my frustration or disgust is anywhere near being directed at you. I love the crap out of you. You are one of the people who gives me hope that we are not a complete failure as a species.
I hope you know that, Zainy-poo. ღღღ
[forgive the grammar and possible lapses in logic or even coherent sentence structure, it’s been a rough couple of days and I’m still trying to find some equilibrium ღ]
