We are getting closer to the day that a good many people in our nation are going to have to put up or shut up. If it does not happen before election day it will happen on election day and if the outcome is like it was in 2020 then we will see. If a civil war breaks out because the losers cannot deal with the legal result of an election then as they take to the streets to show their displeasure let them reap what they will sow. If that means a goodly number of them do not go home at the end of the day, so be it.

  If mass arrests are the result as with J6 then let these misinformed people put up with being shown what can really happen in a society that has no mercy for those that disagree. Loss of rights, property, and expectation of a future that isn’t bleak. Sounds like too much, maybe it is but your dear leader has the same idea for those that do not agree with him or fall in line.

  This nation had a civilized society that allowed for all to speak their mind and express their views. Not today we have become as open minded as the Taliban, there is only one view to be held and that is the one that the most belligerent leader presents. 

  Do not express your opinion or you may lose your job, and soon that expression of choice may cost you your life. Look at the more restrictive legislation that is being passed in what are known as the RED states. Everyday they come up with another rule or law that is just beyond reason. The law  to not allow workers to take a drink break when they are working in the heat, let us push that to the legislative floor and say they can not bring drinks into the room or leave until an adjournment has been called. The tired old men in those rooms will start dropping like flies and that just might be a bonus to the state of Florida. Another opinion expressed that goes against the leadership.

  What will it take to convince people that you do not turn against what has been provided for you. Yes there have been lapses and will be again, but the farmers need to review who passed legislation to help them and then stop voting for the opposing party. State governments need to stop acting like naughty children and think of the people instead of who did not fill the oval office this time around. 

  This issue that seems to be getting the most attention is abortion. Many states have challenged and won the right to seek this assistance if needed, and since it is mostly an issue for women it is hard to allow male dominated courts and legislation to make those choices. They think they are the protectors of life, or so they say, but that claim is hard to believe when it comes with the repeated comments of “We know best” and yet we are never there when needed. The number of births that have occurred from reported rape cases only proves that no understanding of or care of womens health or feelings has ever been incorporated into the decisions these men have made. 

  There has been legislation that allows corporations the ability to not pay for insurance for birth control or abortion on religious grounds. There are religions that allow for or even require these procedures and yet if you follow the laws that have been put in place no consideration for any faith other than Christian is being considered. We are a diverse society and far more people are deciding to be classed as non-religious. Is it possible that the dictates of religion are more than most of our society wants to put up with? Even the most rigid of faiths can not seem to make decisions that are consistent and yet their spokesman keeps making comments and establishing policy. Believe as you wish but even the most ardent person of prayer has produced proof that they have received an answer. Again men dominated in the field of religion just as they do in law and government and war, sports and numbers held in prison for making bad decisions.
