Note to readers: this essay contains some words that you might think should be capitalized but are not. Let me assure you that I have not lost my ability to write correctly. I have intentionally made some ordinarily capitalized letters lower case so that I don't appear to have more respect for some entities and individuals than I do. I have no excuse for run-on sentences, however.
So:
DT and the republicans celebrate the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and openly defile this time of mourning by rushing through the appointment and confirmation of an underqualified religious extremist to the supreme court who clearly does not have the Constitution in mind when she makes rulings.
DT and the republicans have not shown the slightest concern over more than 200,000 U.S. citizens dead of a disease they have allowed to fester completely out of control.
DT and the republicans don't have even the tiniest bit of compassion for innocent citizens marching in the streets to help right terrible wrongs who are attacked, permanently maimed, and often killed by police and federal troops.
DT and the republicans are gleeful that they may finally succeed in totally squashing the Affordable Care Act, leaving millions without health care and vulnerable to a lifetime of bankruptcy if they become sick.
I could give you many more examples citing DT's and the republicans' lack of empathy and care, blatant and unhidden.
But let me get this straight.
YOU WANT ME TO PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT AND HAVE COMPASSION FOR HIM DESPITE OUR "DIFFERENCES?"
DT and the republicans actively and openly persecute all LGBTQ+ communities (which includes me) not to mention people who aren't white, or christian, or rich. In fact, they would prefer it if we would just die.
So excuse me if I don't say a prayer for the president. He has basically declared war on me and all I hold dear. Congrats to those who are better Christians than I am. But I've spent my entire life trying to love and educate and be patient with people who would rather I be dead.
I'm done.
A few months ago, I wouldn't have wished Covid 19 on a single soul. But if anyone deserves to be stricken by the virus he so callously blew off, it's Donald Trump.
If the president drops dead, I won't be bothered by the loss. My only worry will be defending myself and my country from republicans, christian extremists, and white nationalists who will remain long after the dictator is rotting in his grave.
