America slips further behind... (#3281)

     As each day brings a new trump action America is slipping further behind. Because the actions of trump are not progressive, they are regressive. He is taking us further away from equality, from modernizing our energy, from improving our educational system, from improving our economy and just in general from democracy itself. The day will come when he no longer can just willy nilly take our country from its roots but that day has not arrived and how much further behind will we be by the time that day comes? I suppose I should still be thankful that he hasn't killed most of us yet and that no matter how far behind we end up it is still better than not being alive.
     The reversal of integrative policies and the embracing of segregating ones is abhorrent but we must keep fighting to stop or slow trump down. His failing to advance or even maintain clean energy and his protective policies aimed at reviving dirty energy is another reversal that has disaster as it's end game. The destructive nature of his education secretary reflects his desire to make education a privilege and an advantage for the wealthy and a difficult attainment for the less than wealthy and is the most corruptible aspect of his disdain for the working middle poor class. And if taking all of that backwards wasn't enough he has just accomplished the dirty trick of expanding income inequality to an overwhelming degree in favor of the wealthy and to be a back breaking burden for the rest of us. These are but a few areas where we the vast majority Americans are being shunted to our past by a brutal force named trump.
     As I countdown the days we have left to live with the trumps and their republican conspirators I am nonetheless invigorated to keep battling. The special elections, from yesterday and the days past since the 2016 general election, have shown that a blue wave with liberal/progressives policies at it's core is building a growing wall of water that as of yet has not crested that surely will have no mercy within it for the trumps and the rest of the republican party. So what time there is left before the next several special elections this year and the November 6th midterm elections the barely bearable will be beared because the growing light at the end of the tunnel is the massive force of democratic will that will end the reign of trumps and begin to reverse the dark backwards fall of our great American nation.
