Worrisome

 

-It’s been a long time

Shouldn’t of left you

Without a dope beat

To step to-

Worrisome

It’s been awhile since I’ve written and I just wanted to say, I’m worried. I’m worried because four years ago at this time I was not. Instead, I was relaxed and confident. Confident that there was no way Trump would beat Hillary. Confident that she would win effortlessly. Confident that we would not allow a ridiculous reality show Presidency to happen. Confident and relaxed. So now, I’m worried.

 I’m worried because I see the same scenarios playing out as before. Baseless complaints about Biden as the Democratic choice which are similar to those of Hillary. He’s a liar, a manipulator or in the pocket of Big Business. He’s part of a vast left-wing conspiracy Illuminati cult comprised of pizza eating pedophiles intent on world domination. I’m worried because as ridiculous as it may seem, there are those who truly believe these things.

 I’m worried about those both young and old who don’t understand or are dismissive of the importance or the value of their vote. The derisive pessimists who feel nothing will change and don’t realize the harm they cause by throwing away their vote. I’m worried because this line of thought could lead to a second term of Trump appointing hateful right-wing partisan judges. I’m worried because it threatens to reverse all the accomplishments and advancements won by the civil rights movement.   

 I’m worried because the media continues to focus not on the peaceful protesters but instead on rioters and looters. I’m worried because the media chooses to ignore the fact that these riotous opportunist and outside agitators are there intent on creating chaos and disruption. I’m worried because people see these idiots breaking windows and ransacking businesses and link them to the Black Lives Matter movement.

 I’m worried because I originally thought Trump was too stupid to expand his base beyond the racist nut jobs, but I realize now his intention was to embolden them…and he’s using the media. Slowly, his vigilantes have begun to emerge like roaches crawling from beneath the depths of his divisive bigoted rhetoric and are now engaging Black Lives Matter protestors with violence. I’m worried because their actions have already led to murder, yet Trump ignores their savagery and instead, continues to incite, encourage, and praise them as Patriots.

I’m worried because I actually appreciate Trump’s blatantly vocal supporters because I know who they are. It’s the silent sneaky ones who frighten me, the secret Trump voters. You know the ones. They either falsely supported Hillary in the last election or remained silent and voted for Trump. I’m worried because I know they’re still out there. I’m worried because they continue to ignore his language of alienation and separation. They continue to support him as he repeatedly blames President Obama and now Biden for his failed presidency. They know he’s a con man, but they choose to overlook it because the racism is stronger.

 Finally, I’m worried that there are too few of us who see this reality show clown for who he really is and that those who don’t willfully allow his reign to continue. I’m worried that his deliberate ignorance concerning the realities of the most horrific and deadly pandemic of our time will lead to needless suffering and ultimately cost more lives. I’m back folks…but I’m worried. VOTE!
