Thoughts on politics

-

I have five thoughts:

On MAGA: Believe Trump and hold your votes in November to protest a rigged system. Make your voice heard loud and clear by not voting. Make a statement against the corrupt system by holding your vote until the system is fixed and you are sure your vote will count. You can be the new silent majority.

On immigrants: Tag and tax them. Specifical­ly photograph immigrants, fingerprin­t them, collect DNA samples, and verify their “contact” informatio­n, then release them into the workforce and collect payroll taxes. They will not get any government benefits until they become naturalize­d citizens; charitable organizati­ons can take care of them until they can sustain themselves. The result is tax coffers grow without new taxes on us, and jobs get done.

On voting: Remember you can spout conspiracy/political nonsense all you want, but once you step into the voting booth, you are the master of your decision and no one will know your choice.

On abortion: Every pro-lifer should be mandated to register at every adoption center and be waiting in line to adopt unwanted/unaborted newborns, no matter their health condition, so that the life you cherish so much has every opportunit­y to thrive like you believe it should. Show your Christiani­ty, charity, and compassion by rescuing the newborn you have forced into this world over the situation/health of the baby or his or her mother.

Lastly, on U.S.: What has the American dream come to that someone like DJT is a political cult, and what has happened to Americans that we are entertaine­d by his Republican circus of schadenfre­ude at all? Politician­s must not be a sideshow, and democratic government must be taken seriously.

Just some food for thought. Thank you.
