Wife was in the military. Has republican tendencies due to the military. But can't stand Trump. She's undergoing a transformation. Getting more woke. I blame myself. And life. Different for a smart black female in this world.
She's physically disgusted by him and his shit. Gone are the days of the old republicans. What they used to get away with (dog whistle racism, misogyny, trickle down bullshit) is well out in front. I don't give Democrats that credit. That belongs to young people. Gen X and Millenials brought this to the forefront. Old black people don't care about BLM. It's the young; people tired of the same old bullshit bandaids. We've watched them chip at every advancement in society and found them to still be racist as all hell. So, it's time for us to pick up the fight again.
We've seen some success but when it still falls short of the American dream, it's time to reassess. I'm rambling but it's all connected in my head. I may need some time away from Facebook. Got into another argument on Facebook with some shithead that linked Trump to Ferguson to Michael Brown. I just don't have patience to let you spout off your bullshit unchallenged. Gone are the days we just let them be. They think everything was fine? Our silence was culpable. But I guess we got tired, after the 60's and 70's and just wanted some time off, to feel normal.
I used to want to be average. Got tired of hearing about the 110%. I want to be a normal average guy. That's the full american dream; being average and celebrated as great. Somebody posted a picture of some very average people celebrated as 'stars' a few pages ago. That's what I want sometimes. Mediocrity and the sense of comfort that will be enough. Eh, this is brain vomit. I'll stop.
