Shithole Politics

From cuts to the EPA to discrimination of "foreigners" to outright insults, president Trump's era will be obviously titled Shithole Politics or some academic variant of this.

I am a little embarrassed to support a state that went for Trump as completely as it did. Yes, I know, dear neighbors, that most of you are Republicans. There are many positive things about your world view. You believe in a work ethic an support some good projects locally. But this president is not one of them. You got your tax cut. It is now time to dump him. Indicate to your senators and congressman (my city and rural counties are always Republican) that you no longer support the racist president and his divisive politics.

The two parties are ready to move on with DACA outside of Trump plans. Support them. The farmers in our state have expensive health plans and are losing rural hospitals. It is time for the federal government to take a role in health insurance. It can be Medicare and the actual care can remain in private hands. Big employers can remain in private plans and carry on as usual with the large insurance companies or self insured plans (with the insurance company merely as bookkeeper.) We have an aging baby boomer population as do all states. We need your help to get on with this. When the younger ones of you retire, there will be no plan and no money for Medicare at the current rate.

But, whatever else you do, do NOT vote for this man a second time. Leave the line blank.
