Umm... WTF is this?

35. I get it.

I don't know you, but I understand the frustration, outrage and disappointment.

I'm probably a little older than you. I am the father of a member of the LGBTQ community. I ask that you not get disheartened.

I think it is important to acknowledge that you can't force enlightenment.

People, as a whole, are more enlightened today than they were 50 years ago. Those 50 years ago are more enlightened than those 100 years ago.

My child deals with the same looks, threat to employment and lack of acceptance. So do a lot of people.

I have a great friend I made over 28.5 years in the Navy. He was a fighter pilot and commanded a Carrier Air Wing prior to retirement. He's African American married to a white girl. Despite his accomplishments, there were still looks. There were still creeps. He said there were places he wouldn't stop to get gas in America in 2019.

My point being, there are always going to be racists and fascists and misogynists and homophobes and white supremacists and haters. Fuck 'em!

Which brings me to the point of my post.

There is ONE political party in America that still believes in the rule of law. There is ONE party in America that believes in Democracy. There is ONE party in America that believes in decency, compassion, integrity, honor and empathy.

A racist, fascist, misogynistic, homophobic white supremacist without the power of the state behind them, is just a cowardly asshat.

A racist, fascist, misogynistic, homophobic white supremacist with the power of the state behind them IS A REPUBLICAN !!!

At one time in America, the Democratic Party was the party of the KKK. The Democratic Party kicked those fucksticks to the curb.

But, the KKK didn't go away. They just found another home.

Are Dems perfect? No! But, unlike the Retrumplican Party, the Dems aren't going to use the power of the state to persecute and dehumanize you simply because of who you love.

That should, IMHO, energize you to fervently supports Democrats across this country.

Both parties have crazy Aunts and Uncles. Dems keep theirs locked in the attic. Retrumplicans make them president, Cabinet Secretaries and Supreme Court justices.
