Have you tried talking politics with another consenting adult lately? I have, and I was told I couldn’t talk politics in that public arena. I mentioned I was just exercising my First Amendment rights. Nobody is going to tell me to shut up after I put 20 years in the military protecting everyone’s freedom of expression. That’s what that flag stands for. They were just exercising their First Amendment Rights when they hollered at me.

I, in turn, could exercise my First Amendment rights and tell them to stick it. But that would make me out to be a grade school kid’s way of acting like them. And then to further their childhood ways, go in and tattle tale to the teacher that I had said a dirty word out on the playground. 

The thing that makes it so bad is when Obama was president and the way they pointed their fingers toward him, and no Obama supporter lowered themselves to such a low standard like they did. They used fake news and said Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii. We listened to this for about five years when it was proven he was born in Hawaii. I said this before and I will say it again: There are some weak-minded people who would vote for a pig if you put a Republican sign in front of it. I believe these three people fit the description.

Trump is a good example of what they voted for. He showed he is a dictator wannabe. He showed this when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in New York City and his popularity would go up. And then, after he became president, he said he could pardon himself. It is amazing how these weak-minded Trump supporters can’t see this.

Those three who told me I couldn’t talk politics are obviously ashamed of their vote. I am proud of my vote. I voted for Hillary and I am proud of it. I voted right. I voted with the majority of the American people. I hope she runs again in 2020. I will vote for her again, because I have 20/20 foresight.

I was asked lately why haven’t I wrote any letters lately. I responded that I didn’t think I could do as good a job as Trump has been doing to himself by making himself look bad. You would think his name was Rocking Robin the way he goes tweet, tweet, tweet.

I am still bragging. I didn’t vote for Trump.
