(#5831) Setting the cruise control

      In no way am I just going to be silent about the future here in America but it won't be with the fervor of a Paul Revere who gave everything he had to warn of an impending doom. No, instead I will be quietly going about my opposition to what is coming with the knowledge that I did give what I had and not enough of us listened. My disappointment aside I am exhausted by the inability of our citizenry to be proud of our heritage. The one thing I thought would unite us was our decency and respect for noble principles. Yet I have been proven wrong. It seems that there is a lack of care for the honest and hard working that I thought was baked into what is was to be normal working class attributes.
     I have no general fix for it as it must come from each of us that have honest introspection. But I can endure to state the obvious and parlay that into a plan for how to proceed. It will take time because the damage to our democracy hasn't completely exposed itself yet but don't be fooled it is about to be exposed. Thus the cruise control aspect of my present future. Whilst I am taking in the trajectory of how things will change I need to be even keeled about it. I won't be surprised by what is going to happen because I have been warning of it for what is now decades. The republican party is no friend to the working middle poor class and the proof will begin to be seen shortly.
     I am not going to let my inner emotions get out of control nor let my inner emotions dictate to me any useless actions. I will however keep a stable demeanor through it all because that is how I expect to not only survive what is coming but be effective in overcoming it. I will never stop being a good decent human being no matter the cost. It is my destiny as it should be every person who has a mind and a heart. 1461 days of what could have been so productive is now going to be 1461 days of struggling to survive. I don't get our citizenry at all when the worst of who we are is considered more important than the best of who we are.
