Made it about politics

I am an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Army, married 50 years to a woman, have raised two children who are successfully functioning adults, retired from a blue-collar job I worked for 35 years. Yet in the last 10 years I have been called a bitter clinger, rightwing extremist, racist, Nazi, misogynist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe, stupid, naïve, idiot, climate denier, deplorable, toothless garbage person and many others, all because I voted against St. Hillary and believe in the First and Second amendments and am a Christian and do not believe there are more than two genders.

Who called me all these names? The members and supporters of the Democratic Party.

Furthermore, it seems they have made everything a political war— entertainment, business, even funerals. And now they bring a mob of protesters to a hearing on a Supreme Court justice. Because of it I don’t watch TV or movies anymore and have been disinvited from doing business with companies I liked. What do they think will happen next time they win an election? Do they not realize what goes around comes around? Do they think we on the right will just roll over and not retaliate?

They are discarding history, pretending insanity is sanity and lies are truth. It’s as if the liberals took Orwell’s book 1984 to be a how-to book instead of a warning. And these smartphones we are all carrying around are the Big Brother televisions from that book. I fear for the future of my grandchildren.
