My parents are staunch republicans who are all for Trump and what he stands for. It sickens me, but I am truly trying to understand their viewpoint. Alas I don't agree with any of it. This is no longer the America I thought I knew, and that frightens me and makes me sad... When discussing issues with my father he has told me I need an attitude adjustment.
I went to the march on the 21st with some co-workers from the winery and it was AMAZING. It truly felt as if we were surrounded by like minds! Then to see my mother posting on FB about how Trump has made more fat women march than Michelle Obama was disheartening. Also she posted about how we left behind so much trash and how immature it was to leave signs in front of Trumps hotels. Yet the National Park service said it was one of the cleanest marches they have seen in a long time, and there were SO MANY PEOPLE!
Sigh.
Then yesterday I saw something about the 45th administration saying women need to dress like women... ??? I loved one comment, "How to dress like a woman: Identify as a woman and get dressed." Amen.
I have been trying to not be so down about everything that is happening. I hope we don't all get nuked, I hope we don't lose all our allies, I hope we don't lose our fresh air and water (how do people not think this is VITAL????) and I hope to not lose all our rights. To me there is SO much to lose with so little if anything to gain from this administration. I hope I am wrong, I really have never wanted to be wrong more in my life.
Rant over.
Happy weekend!
