Facebook post by Micaela (my daughter) on the day after the election

I really liked Micaela's passionate response to the Trump election. It is not watered down in polite fancy dancing but comes straight from the shoulder. Firey opal girl.
Trump got elected and it is a wake up call for me and I realize that even after hearing about whole cities being defeated and ruined by economic decisions made by government. I think it is about armies of frightened people struggling to live the American dream and realizing that they are in quick sand because the government has failed them. We hear that the middle class is struggling but they are not hungry, they don' t have to try to feed and be there for their children when the money cannot stretch that far, or face health problems with no support.
The squabbling that goes on between the rich and uber educated about what America needs ,where they seek answers in polls and popularity really makes poor people feel sick with hopelessness.
The reason Trump got elected is because of fear and ignorance. People had little or no understanding of the issues and were not educated enough to understand and people are scared. So they are scared of anything that looks like it will create more stress. The resiliency and willingness is not there.
So much governmental policy seems to be initiated in a top down way. Just pushing people around and walking into their lives in such a glib and egotistical top dog way. The people have spoken. They would rather go down in flames than stand for a continuation of the same old crap.
I am not a Trump support and never was . I'm Canadian and even I feel disheartened and yup, i felt grabbed by the pussy when Trump was elected. Come to think about it...... lets all women where badges that say that so we are not silenced by Trump's language in being pussies.
Micaela, don't stop speaking your mind. Bless you fierce warrior woman. There are no prizes but it needs to be done.
Lot of love

Awwwww Hops. Hugs and cuddles to you.
It is good to see a lively debate. I don't know how to do it properly but at least i get the ideas out there and they can get honed by wiser people than me.
I am so surprised to see great hordes of people coming out to protest. They are even doing it in Canada, in my little town of Port Albern and in Vancouver, BC. The world has woken up. The slumbering haves of the western world are awake to how fragile their freedom has become.
Personally, I don't go for parties and they seem more corrupt all the time. The beauty of values over consumption and greed is emerging in a humanistic and uniting way. I opposite is Trumpism.
I bet that is a landmark for political writing from me. AND I am joining the NDP party to try to get more votes in our election.
Well, I think I will just ramble on drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds, Hops. Keep the faith

Yes to the above..... Corporate greed, and using insanely triggering arguments to distract, and pit us against each other.... Yes.
The destruction and pillaging of our planet, without responsibility to clean up their mess, or make safe again, is the world's reality now...... even the safe, white entitled people's reality.
Standing up for the immigrants, and minorities and people in the line of fracking fire, etc.... everyone who stands up for them is standing up for their own rights, IMO.

I agree. Our voices really need to be heard now. Women know about how the world is suffering. Men too. Things need to shift and I think they are at some level that is not clear yet. Paradigm shift.
