roaming_kate23Today is Martin Luther King Day.It’s also 2 days before the inauguration. I wanted to try and talk about that, and also about what is going on the world.
First of all, what I have noticed as we get closer to the inauguration is that Trump swag(flags and the like) are increasingly becoming a no-no.It took a while(like more than a month after the election) that some of the biggest Trump stans are strangely silent. They don’t do much social media (because they silenced Trump because of his inciting the insurrection the other week... apparently that is the opposite of freedom of speech. Well, it isn’t free speech when you’re doing what Trump did and his minions felt like it was OK to do(most redundant sentence ever?Probably.)
The dislike of Biden comes from many things up to and including the fact that he is pro-choice is one of them. He can’t be a “true Catholic” if he is pro-choice,Bullshit! If that’s the criteria for being a bad Catholic..well,I don’t believe anymore but if I did I would for sure be a bad Catholic. Not only am I pro-choice but I am a LGBTQ supporter.That’s another thing that True Blue Catholics think is something that you can’t be for if you are a practising Catholic. Once again:Bullshit!
The bad-no, the worst -shit that has happened over the past 4 years:Trump has more than a little to do with it. Immigration. Race(they go hand in hand, really..) Have we always been perfect as a country when it comes to race? Two Words: Jim Crow. Martin Luther King did so much to advance civil rights in this country and Trump came in and fucked it all over. In another word:Karens/Beckys.
Just like when we’ve come out of previous shitty administrations there is going to be an adjustment period for sure.
