Fall foliage is beginning to remind us that the Holidays are just around the corner. Halloween with adults in costumes in the attempt to either relive their childhood or overcome the poor costumes parents with cameras who kept the moment for us to cringe accepting the loving attention the adult had then now grown is missed. Yet, how could they dress you in that?! If your a parent, that pic you show your child is why you either do the same to them or you seek better in allowing them to choose their own. If have it right, this is how it's been since shortly after the end of ww2. This has always been and we had believed always will be. Parents, today are facing the loss of sharing their enjoyment of their childhood and the uncertainty about the future of their children, what to plan and how to guide them when we struggle ourselves from week to week as the country's governing has become unstable, contrary and hostile. We all agree on this on thing. Those days are gone. As a people we have been shaken out of the day to day, our focus is off our goals personally and financially, we were made frightened of contracting an illness, then muzzled in attempt to keep us healthy while two very opposing political parties violently wrestle over the free world. We quickly retreated when out of the blue, violence and rioting exploded in the west and Northwest. None, no not one of us would of ever dreamed we would hear the chant "defund the police" as loud as we did as we still do since it began back in May. Just speaking for myself...I feel traumatized. I would be lying if I said I can accept this "new normal." There is nothing "new" has in common with "normal." I passed my high school English class. So, my fellow Americans, as the elections approach Halloween is in question. We all are reflecting on what went wrong and by who. no matter what news source you get your news from or how much social media is researched. One good thing has happened we all are either thinking about politics and we are now discussing the subject amongst our friends and families. Politics are no longer a taboo topic. Its not considered rude or inappropriate to discuss in grocery stores, in passing or in one another's homes with children present, young and old. Keep this One thing always in your mind and ready on your tongue. Without a two party system there is no need to vote. Elections become obsolete. Your Rights as Americans exist because of a two party system. The United States presidency has had 19 republican and 14 democratic in Office. The 111th congress was 2009-2011 with both house and senate controlled by Democrats and the sitting President. I think I can point there to say is where our current crisis originated from. Why? Its not cause they were democrats. Republicans have controlled the 115th Congress, both house and senate with the last two years of Obama and the other two years Trump. Republicans have not held the majority in the house since the 83rd Congress the year was 1952, 68yrs ago. We the people wanted less government. In 2014 Republicans controlled both the senate and the house for the first time since the 109th congress , years of 2005-2007. Yet, not the Majority which means independents' stopped that from occurring. That sent a message to both parties that we would consider other options. As We the people again considered another option for President. A man who was more like us being not establishment or a career politician. The reason to this opened mindedness? Can u guess? I couldn't until I researched it. We didn't fall for Obamas smooth speech who we listened to and didn't understand most of what he said. Be honest, I realized if I didn't understand that I wasn't alone and won't take the time to but the video footage with his sound bites, now that got my attention. The Republicans when they had control of the senate and house during the first two years of Trumps term just weren't ready or equipped to know how to handle a president who had never before November 2016 Election been in a elected office. Trump wasn't a politician whatsoever. We have as a people since 2011 been sending Washington we were tired of politicians both parties. Admit it, we considered in poor taste to mention politics at dinner and gatherings. We even dreaded the holidays; concerned if politics came up arguments would begin. God forbid if our child chose Political Science major in college; parents believed they had done something wrong, there was shame until it just couldn't be us and then blamed the school. With that being said. By our vote we must shoulder some responsibility for what has occurred. When did we start believing that by our united voice at the polls exempted ownership of governing actions made on our behalf. Remember "For the People, by the People." been a minute since any of us has heard that. With that vote it is unfair and cruel if we don't allow a business man we elected to prove that "Any American can Be President." That's another idea we haven't heard in a long time. Well, we finally made it happen. We the people broke the mold. Shook up Washington. What generations since the first congress adopted the constitution just talked about, we did it. We need to see this through, we made a choice to elect Trump. We upset the old ways things got done in Washington. Now we are suffering for that and by that suffering we can really see what these people, in the house and senate, truly are, Republican and Democrat. This November will determine not only our future but also if We The People are fit to have a democracy and will we fight for it, and discuss it . Not some far off half a world away country. This Country, Our home. #politics #elections2020 #democrats #republicians #Congress #senate # patriot
