Rant #3,661: Think

I put this post on Facebook on Wednesday.

Please read it and see what you think.

"You know, since I am independent voter, and could care less about the Democrats and Republicans, I don't see any positive vibes coming from Washington about coming together and making our country the best that it can be.

Absolutely nothing seems to be working right in our country, and it is hurting people like myself and my family.

That is just a blanket statement, but it is a heartfelt and honest one.

I would love to hear what anyone else has to say about this, because right now, I feel that people like myself, and my family, are being led and dumped into a thick fog created by people who think they breathe a more rarified air than we do.

Any thoughts on this?

A "like" is nice, but I really want to know what you feel about this, so please, post your thoughts.

Thanks."

I have to tell you, I received very little feedback on this--

Just two people posted replies.

The replies were good, but I would have thought that my post would have gotten much more response than it actually did.

I can't be the only person who feels this way, can I?

The president makes an executive order, and it is stopped by judges.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), run by a billionaire who acts harshly without any feelings, finds efficiencies which need to be made, but also lops off thousands of workers without any reason, other than a filtering of the force.

The Democrats sit on one side of the aisle, the Republicans on the other, and you would think we are in a real, honest to goodness civil war with the way they act towards each other.

Anti-semitism is surging, no matter what the president tries to do to quell it, with the courts seemingly taking what amounts to the adversary's or foe's side at every turn.

Me, I just was attacked on Facebook again, with my ethnicity and photo made fun of, and a swastika drawn on my face--all because I disagreed with someone who posted something that I took issue with.

(Yes, I reported all of this to Facebook, but the last time I looked, the image was still up for all to see.)

And the president continually fans the flames of disunity by acting like a "king" rather than as a "president."

With all of this, I see no unity at all, and I don't see any side taking measures to make us a unified country.

And yes, even though I agree with the president on some things he has done--certainly not all--I do believe things have gotten worse--much worse--since the new administration has taken power.

This is not meant as a knock against the president, who I believe is doing a much better job than his predecessor did or his adversary would have if she attained the presidency.

But I simply do not see us as a unified country, more of a group of factions doing all it can to thwart the enemy--

And the enemy appears to be within.

The greater problem is that I see this continuing into the foreseeable future.

And that is not good.

Just something to think about as we go into the weekend.

Have a great weekend, and I will speak to you again on Monday.
