april fools

Published on by a gdovin girl

It’s April fool’s Day, isn’t it? We didn’t elect a convicted felon as our president? No. Right? And that guy who does the Nazi salute and carries around the chainsaw with a crazy grin … that didn’t happen. Right?

And my son and daughter in law, with my two grandsons – the youngest being transgender… they didn’t relocate to Canada permanently out of fear that trans kids would no longer have rights and freedom to live their truth? Right? We really do not share holiday traditions and Sunday dinners and school events and sleepovers and summer field trips and adventures anymore? No. That cannot be.

Nobody would think all of this is who we have become and that this president isn’t trampling over our constitution and our citizens and immigrants…and that’s okay with them? No. Nobody would think that. Would they? Would you?

It’s April fools day isn’t it?

All reactions:

what does this say about us; as a country and as a person

Our country just voted someone to our highest position where ignorance, racism, hate and greed are things on which he prides himself. Sad time for our country.

People prioritized the price of eggs and butter OVER treating ALL people with compassion; caring for women who have already died because hospitals refused to treat them; considering people with small children who have trekked hundreds of miles to escape poverty and horrid leaders- and completely accepted someone who cares nothing for women – except his sexual conquests; commits tax fraud regularly; sets up bogus charities, buries the wife of 3 of his children on his golf compound to get a tax write off; and incited a violent riot on our own capitol where officers were killed (as well as others) causing God only knows how many millions of dollars in damages as he watched it on tv with his family laughing and clapping.

He is a piece of nothing who does nothing unless it benefits him. He is a carnival con man. If I could grab all 10 grandkids and my US kids and homestead somewhere else, I would do it in a heartbeat. My urge to leave is strong and genuine. I feel like the country has accepted garbage and I just do not feel the patriotism and the fight for what is right as I always have.

And that breaks my heart.
