A friend wrote on my Facebook page a while ago that it seems the only thing "the left" is against is "Trump".
And it occurs to me there may be truth in that.
Hmmmmmm....
I guess it depends on what "Trump" means.

I guess it depends on what "Trump" means.
If by "Trump" my friend means the things I've seen Donald John Trump do and say ....
- Unrestrained never-ending lying
- Caging kids
- Wasting billions on a vanity wall
- Encouraging white nationalists
- Sexual predation
- Ridding Americans of healthcare insurance if they have pre-existing conditions
- Coddling Putin and other dictators
- Ignoring the murder of Khashoggi
- Selling out our republic for his own financial gain
- Dismissal of science
- Rape of the environment
- Destruction of public education
- Concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer hands
- Mocking the disabled
- Ridiculing national heroes and Gold Star families
- Lying some more
- Etc. Etc. Etc.
Yep, in that case, "Trump" is pretty much every thing I abhor in one smelly package.
I often write about what I am for too, by the way. Perhaps she missed it. Politically "what I am for" can be summed up nicely in the first sentence of our Constitution, which indicates in less plain but much finer language that the body politic should always be about ---
- perfecting our republic
- making sure there's justice for all
- keeping peace and order within our republic
- defending us from foreign threats
- promoting the welfare of all
- securing the blessings of liberty for all, now and always.
