Merriam Webster online defines genocide as:
: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.
The definition of destruction:
: ruin.
I might be the only one using the term genocide to describe what’s going on in our country today.
History is shady too.
I was reading at the library information in an online video course on Art in American History.
One of the hosts got away with talking about how Mr. Toupee hung a portrait of Andrew Jackson on his wall at the White House.
The video host said that Jackson was the architect of the worst American genocide. During his term Native Americans were run off their tribal lands. Thousands were killed along the infamous Trail of Tears.
It tells you something that Mr. Toupee venerates Jackson.
At the library new books have been published praising Mr. Toupee and denouncing “Trump’s Enemies.” Other new books trumpet that the Donald is trashing American democracy.
Whose side of the story is the truth?
Stacey Abrams when interviewed said that we can’t expect any president we vote into office to be our savior.
We can though hold them accountable for doing the right thing once elected.
In two months we vote for the president.
People are being denied the right to vote.
If you are registered to vote I say walk into the polling site with your own two feet–or wheel yourself in if you use a wheelchair–and go vote.
Send in an absentee ballot before the deadline if you cannot show up in person.
One year I walked around the corner to the polling site and voted at 6:15 a.m.
If you haven’t been denied the right to vote–Just Do It–go out and vote.
No excuses.
