Relative Something

It is April 5th, a “national day of action” the banner professes. Cyndie and I intend to join the mix of college students and rural folks from around River Falls to express our dissatisfaction with the destructive chaos that has been underway since the inauguration in January.

There isn’t a sign big enough to hold my objections.

I object to the President of the United States of America being a blatant small and large-scale grifter.

I object to people making decisions that impact millions of others based on greed and their ill-informed prejudices.

I object to our government disrespecting our allies.

I object to people trying to force their religion into this country’s laws.

I object to government leaders behaving like bullies.

I object to the decisions and behaviors of everyone who has enabled or abetted foreign interference in our elections.

I object to the discounting of the severity of the global climate crisis.

I object to blind adherence to ideologies.

I object to people ignoring their hypocrisy.

I object to the ugly confidence to publicly display hatred for others.

I object to the blatant disregard for the rule of law.

I object to the blatant disregard for human rights.

I object to the blatant disregard for proven science.

I object to the assumption that this administration can simply state that we are going to own another country.

I object to unilaterally issuing orders to deny equity and inclusion of our diverse populations.

I object to the assault on education and the sweep up of graduate students.

I object to the allowing of an unelected appointee to dismantle government institutions.

I object to the incarceration of innocent travelers by our immigration officials.

I object to the intentional destruction of our national and global economies.

I object to people lapping up mis- and disinformation like it was Kool-Aid that keeps them alive.

I object to the theft of good people’s sanity through the unending flow of drama and excrement coming from Donald Trump and every single person who supports him, including every billionaire or foreign leader controlling him from behind the scenes.

It’s time to go stand with the crowd to show how we really feel.

I’ll let you know tomorrow if it makes me feel any better.
