When was America ever great?
I see that in Greene County only 50 people voted for virtually free health care, free college education, an immediate transition to solar, wind and geothermal energy, the reduction of a military budget that exceeds the rest of the world’s military budgets combined, opening our borders to those seeking refuge from corporate hegemony, and for fulfilling our obligations to future generations to ensure that fossil-fuel corporations are treated as the criminals they are.
What country does not want its citizens to be as educated and healthy as they can be? The answer is Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Corporate America, all of whom only care about keeping citizens dumb and dependent on them for greedy, bottom-line profits, and nothing more.
“Make America Great Again?” When was it ever “great”? We still haven’t apologized to the inhabitants of this “great” nation for our genocidal actions to claim this country. I’m ashamed of America. But on the bright side, President-elect Trump should moonlight as a clown, as he does make me laugh when he behaves as though he knows and cares about something.
