I am an American. I believe in freedom, equality, justice, fairness, rule of law, and the US Constitution. I have no use for bigots, racists, misogynists, or Republicans.
I am a writer, artist, musician, living on a small farm, with my wife and golden retriever. I am an ex-Social Worker, two tour Vietnam Veteran, husband and father, but most importantly I am a grandfather, and everyday I think about the world we are leaving our children and grandchildren.
We have failed future generations.
I have twenty years of education, two Master's Degrees, Psychology and Social Work. Because I was educated before Republicans began destroying the American Educational System. I have a solid education and could see the bullshit of Trump from the beginning.
Education and MAGA are mutually exclusive.
My education began with General studies, English, literature, science, art, history, all basic understandings of the world. I received a solid educational foundation for my studies in psychology and social work.
I grew up in the Midwest, and my values are of the mythological America, a place of justice and fairness and equality. I think these values still exist, I think the majority of people are basically decent, but also basically lazy and don't want to get involved.
For evil to flourish, good men do nothing.
But here I am in my mid-seventies along with my elderly wife, in the streets, carrying signs, blowing whistles, and standing up for democracy.
2026. This will be a year of great change and great upheaval. By November of this year, America will know if we still have a Democracy or we become a full-fledged tyranny, with 'King Trump and the MAGA Morons'. {sounds like a polka band}
