If You Refuse to Stand Up for Your Rights,


Don’t expect others to!

I have always prided myself on advocating for the rights of others, especially immigrants, people of color, women, the handicapped, and, of course, the minority I belong to, the LGBTQ+ community.

For the past two years, I have listened to Donald Trump denigrate and demonize these very sane people. He has mocked a handicapped reporter called Latino immigrants, rapists, murderers, drug traffickers, and patients released from insane asylums.

He has bragged about banning abortions and taking away a woman’s right to control her own body. He and Vance have viciously attacked transgendered people and stoked fear of them among the electorate. He has accused Haitian immigrants of eating our dogs and cats long after the accusation was proven to be a lie.

He has referred to his female opponent and other female politicians as bitches, weak and of low intelligence. He hosted a large rally in Madison Square Gardens where no policy was discussed except for the mass deportation of immigrants and the advancement of hatred and bigotry.

The election is now over, and although millions more people registered to vote, there were millions fewer votes than in 2020. It has been reported that more than 20 million votes vanished and were never counted. This is strange, but I’ll leave this for others to ponder.

As we all now know, Trump won this election. And who were the ones who helped him win? Latino and white suburban women. The same ones he has spent over two years attacking as garbage and as poisoning the blood of our country. The same ones he has told that they are not able to determine their own reproductive health.

Sure, Trump got the vote of young males, thinking a vote for Trump would prove their masculinity. They didn’t have the balls to stand up for their wives, sisters, and daughters.

Let’s not forget those poor, uneducated people who voted for Trump because they thought he would pull them out of poverty. Here’s some news for you: According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth grew $26.5 billion the day after Trump was elected. What will your bank account look like next year?

Like millions, I am saddened by Trump’s win, but I am also pissed off by the stupid, ignorant people who voted for him. Yes, those are the people I have been fighting for for many years. It reminds me of the Jews who supported Hitler before the Holocaust, thinking he would take care of them. Well, he did take care of them -10 million of them!

If you are one of the minorities mentioned above who voted for Trump, I can no longer fight for your rights. If you can’t stand up for your own rights, don’t expect me and others to. You have to win back my trust.
