This morning I read an op ed by Thomas Edsall on why TRUMP GOP supporters follow him and the GOP who maintain their fears & nurture those fears keeping their followers in a state of vulnerability, so they’ll be afraid Of change.
Meanwhile, the people of the “red” states, all 28 held by GOP Governors, never prosper. That’s the plan. The statistics speak for themselves. People in Democratic States prosper and those in GOP States don’t. The reason is purposeful, if you’re poor, fearful and vulnerable, you’re more conservative. Being conservative means you’re fearful of change & other’s who might take whatever little you have left, away.
Again, for those of us who aren’t afraid, take risks, believe in a better way of life, we’re rewarded. Never taking no, for answer, drives you to achieve. That’s the point. We Move forward to provide a better life for ourselves, our children and grandchildren.
Why be stuck holding onto a past that will never return? It makes no sense, the Corporations in your towns are wealthy, yet they’re polluting your water and air. They’ve cut your healthcare. The teacher contracts weren’t honored, yet you continue to remain silent, vulnerable and a victim. Why? Together , you have a powerful voice for change.
You can have expanded Medicaid like the other States, you can unionize for higher wages & the $15/ hr min wage, you can demand that Corporate taxes flow into city coffers to provide you retraining or cheap renewable energy for your own use or the grids.
You can demand better and through your vote get what everyone wants, the Right to life, liberty and happiness.
Wishing you all the best. Alaskan’s are taking the first step. They’re recalling their Governor. Be next. Find out for yourself, whether you prefer victim hood to victor. It’s your choice, I hope you choose your self interest over the interests of your Legislators!
The heart and pulse of “We the People “.
