Many years ago, I disappointed my mother and she said, “I will always love you, but right now I don’t like you very much!” That is how I currently feel about America. I will always love my country, but right now I don’t like it very much.
I love America, but I don’t like that the man we elected President is allowing chaos, corruption, and cruelty to dominate his administration. I love America, but I will always join those who protest a would-be dictator who seeks only to enrich himself through thinly veiled threats of blackmail and pay-to-play bribery. I love America, but I cannot support a man who repeatedly lies and spreads misinformation. I love America, but I cannot trust the current commander-in-chief. I love America, but I cannot approve of poorly trained, heavily armed masked men roaming our streets, terrorizing our children, and abducting people who may look different in the name of public safety and secure borders. I love America, but I am embarrassed by the sheer incompetence of those appointed to leadership roles of important military, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies. I love America, but I am tired of the gaslighting and divisive rhetoric spewed by those we have elected to represent us in both Washington and Lansing. |
On deck.... I love America, but I am sad that so many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck while the ultra-rich eat cake and swill champagne and party like it’s the “roaring twenties” in Mar-a-Lago.
I love America, but I am not afraid to challenge elected officials who refuse to speak truth to power. I love America, but I do not like my congressman who rejoices when 2000+ manufacturing jobs disappear from his rural district and refuses to meet with his constituents in a public town hall. I love America but dislike our government bailing out Argentina while family farmers go bankrupt and children go hungry with no access to food stamps. I love America but worry about how my younger friends, burdened with debt and working for stagnant wages, will pay for groceries, healthcare, childcare, or buy a home. |
