America's New President

Time sure has flew since I have last been on here, and ALOT has changed. One being Donald Trump is now our nations President. And along with this impending onslaught we have Mike Pence as Vice President. My question for America is why? Why would a country that have up until recently, made better political strides, throw us 100 steps back?  I can offer a few obvious reasons. Our Nation is founded on racism and bigotry. Of less than half of America's population, 63 percent of his votes were white males and 53 white women. Our country seems to be under the impression that racism is no longer an issue. Well, seeing as Donald Trump is our 45th President I would beg to differ. His entire candidacy was a sad screaming match. Whenever called out by the the other candidates he would resort to bullying. Although some saw this as a red flag, Trumpets said he was "joking", or "he didn't really mean it". We sat back and watched as Trump made fun of a disabled journalist, make racist statements about minorities, victim blame rape survivors, make misogynist remarks, talk about grabbing a woman's pussy, etc,.. Still to his supporters, it was never really his fault, always a brush off the shoulder. To them he was their savior from what they considered a corrupt system. Donald Trump was going to Make America Great Again... But to what exactly? What part of our history does Trump and his supporters consider great? Historically speaking, this country had enslaved, discriminated against, and done even worse to a plethora of minority groups, women and the poor. Yet they still maintained a strong belief that those times were better. Taking the rights away of those whose predecessors have fought long and hard for their human rights will not not make this place great. It will however allow us to watch as the country buries it's self into a whole so deep, it will take generations to dig ourselves out. That is a disheartening fact...

Wow.. It's been a while. Still not a very popular page, surprising.... Well, I'm still going to post. Even if no one is going to read it. I'm doing this for me. This can be therapeutic.
      So. what have I been up since my last post. Well I've always been the woman with many ideas but no commitment. Let's take a step back into 2010, the year I graduted from highschool. That was going to be my big year. The year I ultimately changed my life. I had plans of moving away, attending a college in the south,  and getting a part-time job. I was excited and I bragged to all of my friends about my plans. But having a slight case of senioritis, my will to turn plan into action was slow, to say the least. I intended on applying to colleges, I intended on moving out of my mothers house and oh did I EVER INTEND to get a job, no matter how low the income was. Nay, I had nothing to show for that year. Absolutely nothing. To keep up appearances I told myself and others that I was on a journey of self-discovery. That I wanted to find out who I was and what I really wanted out life. How proud I was of myself for making up such a-what I thought was- deep lie. Slowly, reality had set in by the end of the year, and I had blown all my graduation money on frivolities, I set out job hunting. Who knew that job hunting could be so tedious and difficult. I mean really, you would objectively assume that finding a minimum wage job would be somewhat easy a task. OH NO my friend. Let's just say my hunt for a real job continued well in to 2011. By the end of the year I had finally found a job and was fairly proud of myself for assimilating as a member of a patriarchal soiety. Seriously speaking, I needed an income. Anyway this job continued well into early 2012, but do to the fact that I worried about my own safety on duty, I severed ties. And the hunting season came early that year. But I never got any game, get it? I made a funny... Time went on, and  the wicked witch was getting antsy, what with two adults , living in her house, without jobs. The threats came rolling in and before I knew it, she wanted us out the house. Fast forward five months, I'm finally out the house and going to school. Things are slow as of late, but I don't regret my decision in the least. I look at the glass as half full nowadays.
