There have always been dangerous, deadly people--people who act without humanity, respect, or regard for the emotional and physical safety of others. During my life, in many ways, the fact that most leaders in our country respected and promoted humanity countered the fact that frightening, harmful people existed in our midst. Now, however, we find that many in positions of power are trying to hurt us--they don't care about our safety or good living, instead these ignorant, hateful, hurtful elected and appointed officials are willing to step on us, hurt us, and even kill us to prop up their personal profit, power, pleasure, and privilege. This is a different USA, not the USA I have known throughout my life.
As I write, I realize that Black and Native Americans have experienced what so many Americans are experiencing now--Black Americans have a United States' history subject to grave prejudice, hate, and harm--many African Americans, if not most of them, grew up in a United States where their security and good living were challenged time and again. Their experience is akin to what many, if not most, Americans are experiencing now. We have leadership who seemingly would prefer us greatly oppressed or even dead rather than living the good lives possible. How do we counter this?
Some who still support the hateful, deadly Trump Terror Team may wonder how Trump and his Republican minions are endangering our lives. These are people who belong to the cult and believe the media manipulation that the Trump Terror Team endlessly promotes. These are some of the many ways that the Trump team puts all of our lives in danger.
- Trump and the his Republican cronies are destroying our public education system--quality education is critical to a peaceful, positive society.
- Trump and his Secretary of Health and Human Welfare have ended countless lifesaving research efforts as well as critical vaccination efforts - efforts that save our lives.
- Trump has put countless Fox Entertainment Media employees into important positions in our government, these Trumpians do not have the qualifications to do the jobs well--the only reason they gained these high-paying positions of power is that they are willing to do whatever Trump and his hateful cronies ask them to do--they are dangerous people because of their lack of morality, knowledge, experience, honesty, skill, and humanity.
- The Trump Terror Team are ending programs that positively promote good living in every arena of life.
- Trump is not respected worldwide--he's easily played by foreign leaders and he's turned his back on the affiliations we need to live good, healthy, positive lives in the United States. This is creating greater conflict in the world and sadly may lead our country into conflicts that destroy American lives and livelihoods.
- Trump is spending our hard earned tax dollars as if it's his personal slush fund--he's wasting our hard earned dollars on efforts that prop up his pleasure, power, privilege, and profit--Trump, himself, is making lots of money as President since he's making decisions primarily focused on increasing his personal wealth. He is also making decisions to spend our hard earned tax dollars on his golf habit--which is costing us millions so far. He's already spent more than $25,000,000 on playing golf since taking office in January. Further, he's paying ICE employees to harass and detain good people throughout the country and disrupt our communities in harmful ways.
- Trump's messaging is causing murders--his cult is following his hateful messages by committing deadly crimes, assaults, and murders.
- Trump's terror team does not take environmental safety and protections seriously--this is creating a situation that will create deadly conflict and living now and into the future.
- Stay informed via reputable sources of information--beware of Fox News that labels itself an entertainment channel and has had to pay a lot of money in fines due to the fact that they report lies regularly.
- Assess your skills and privilege, and use what you have to contribute to good living for others--invest in a strong, good USA via actions that help people to live good lives.
- Take care of yourself--prioritize self respect and healthy living.
- Advocate for a stronger, better USA by supporting good leadership, positive agencies, and life enriching work in your communities, our nation, and the world.
- Push yourself to do a little more; push yourself beyond your comfort zone to positively advocate for betterment. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
