Dwain Northey (Gen X)

Now that the Democratic National Convention is over and Kamala Harris is officially our Nominee let’s talk about the Elephant in the room, (pun 100% intended).

The Convention this week was jubilant and joyful a stark contrast to the RNC and their tales of doom if they don’t retake the mantel, and honestly that is what Trumpublicans are most upset about, the shear amount of joy and determined optimism that was on display in Chicago this past week.

Fox (Faux) News talking heads are up in arms that Kamala during her acceptance of the Democratic Nomination was bracketed by the American Flag. They honestly believe that they alone are the only party to have ownership over our nations flag… they have some completely coopeted the symbol that many Democrats are unwilling to fly the flag. I served in the U.S. Army in the 1980’s and I for one am happy that we are taking back the symbol of our nation, let me be as honest as I can, I don’t believe that the flag belongs to either party, but I am tired of having my patriotism questioned because I don’t vote Republican.

Trump and his ilk are furious that the DNC has assumed the mantel of Family, Faith, and the Flag because they have beat the American public into believing that they represent these values. Donald never believed in anything other than himself, Family, 3x divorced, Faith, could not quote one passage of the book he held upside down in Lafayette Square, Flag, he likes to hump it put his face and name over it… never sacrificed or served to protect it.  

Our system was set up as a two-party system, but to be honest that isn’t what we have right now, the rot of Trumpism needs to be exorcised so a reasonable Republican party can contribute to the political discussion. Look at any elected government in the world, what we believe or what we are told is conservative is so far from reality it is unrecognizable. Religious zealots don’t represent Conservatives, refusing to take care of their people don’t represent Conservatives, putting 100% of your faith in one person does not represent Conservatives. The Party of Lincoln has been dead for a long time, the Party of Reagan (as broken as it was) is far left of this GOP, the Party of Trump needs to be ushered into the woodshed like Ol’ Yeller and put down.
