Accountability

 

I warned people that voting for Trump was a mistake prior to the 2016 election, but the staunch republicans in my family laughed. I wonder what they are thinking now?

I could ask them you say. But I will not. Anyone who showed that little understanding of the man they were voting for has long since lost my respect. Our relationship will be minimal and only on a surface level forever more.  

No longer supporting him doesn't impress me. That is what all bullies and losers do when they find they can no longer benefit from their wrong doings.

The president of our country has set a bad precedent. When he wasn't openly encouraging them, like bad parents he has said, "No." at the same time he is laughing and egging them on. Children are never fooled and neither are the fools that follow Trump. They know he loves the ways of racists, white supremacists, misogynists, and whatever.

We now have freshman congress people who are like rebellious teenagers, acting out, breaking the rules, with no regard for the law at all. To them it is like some 3D video game and they are the heroes. 

This has to stop if Democracy is going to continue to be a viable alternative. Being cooperative cannot mean being impotent. Accountability is part of an action. There have to be consequences and those consequences have to equal the action they reflect.
