A week after Trump Care passed, we find a woman, a girl, and a baby in the kitchen of a house in the rural south. GIRL (16): But Momma, because baby Brittany was sick at birth, she’s gonna lose her heath care now. WOMAN: It’ll be fine, Darlene Mae. We’ll make do. The important thing is that we keep winning the war against the libtards who want to give away our hard-earned money to people who sit around smoking pot…
I’m officially an unaffiliated American voter. I was raised in a conservative Republican household, but married a staunch Democrat, and definitely identify more with liberal thinkers than conservative. It’s not because of dogma, I assure you. As a result of being more liberal-minded, my friends tend to be more liberal. That’s just how the world works–birds of a feather and all that. Anyway, most of my friends are proud Democrats who are up-in-arms since the election last November. I love my friends…
America is not a machine. It’s not a cold assembly line filled with widgets and driven by gears and grease. It is not intended to provide ROI for a board of directors. America is a bubbling ocean of human emotion and experience containing billions of conflicting ideas. The only concepts that ALL Americans align with are liberty and justice. That’s it. That’s all.

This is a blog post to all my old friends and family who have let “politics” get in the way of real and burgeoning relationships. I love you. I do. And I know you’re probably tired of hearing me talk poorly about our current president and his administration, but I still can’t believe you actually fell for this guy. I also get that you’re tired of the smugness of the liberals and progressives. I totally do. They’re educated urbanites and…
You realize they’ve convinced us that we’re our own enemy, right? We MUST coexist between conservative and liberal. Must. We cannot allow one ideology to rule the land. It won’t work. This is America, land of baddest motherfuckers on the planet. We’re all different. And we like a good fight. Trying to force one ideology on everyone will NEVER work here. We have no choice but to figure this shit out. And it must begin with the acceptance that they’ve turned us…
When you live in a bubble, it’s hard to understand people who don’t live in there with you. This is especially true when you live in a bubble of diversity and the nation just elects someone who only seems to care about one ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc. etc. You’re shocked. Repulsed. Amazed. How could this be? I’ll tell you how it could be, because you live in a bubble. Sure it’s a diverse bubble filled with rainbows and happy…
