How Low and Cowardly Can Right-Wing Extremists Become

Unlike Trump’s personal Gestapo, Neo-Nazi organizations, the LGBTQ community is no threat to anyone, anywhere. They simply seek the same rights guaranteed to heterosexuals by the Constitution.

So, let me ask you a question: “why should our government feel it necessary to issue a warning to the LGBTQ community who will be celebrating Pride Month in June?” Where is the time machine used to move America and parts of the world backwards into the 1950’s?

Authorities warned US citizens abroad to "exercise increased caution". Violence against the LGBTQ community across our nation is also expected.

"Stay alert in locations frequented by tourists, including Pride celebrations," a warning issued by the state department said.

IN JUST FOUR YEARS, TRUMP AND HIS AMERICAN FASCIST PARTY RECREATED AMERICA INTO A COUNTRY DOMINATED BY ANGER, HATRED, AND BIGOTRY

Prior to 2017, the worst of America remained in the shadows, or in the slime at the bottom of cesspools. However, with their leader pretending to be the leader of the free world, these evil and treasonous Neo-Nazis have brazenly moved into the light. Some hold positions in our federal government including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Tommy Tuberville, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and every member of the House “Freedom Caucus.”

These are “Trump’s people.”

ONLY MORONS ATTACK WITHOUT REASON

Right-wing attacks on the LGBTQ community prove that these fake Republicans are mentally unfit to hold public office. The 435 members of the House and 100 Senators have only one purpose: to represent the needs and wishes of the American people. Their personal beliefs, whether they be virtuous or vile have no importance.

Our nation has serious problems, including reasonable immigration reform, a growing gap in income inequality, voter suppression, the least effective and most expensive healthcare in the world, the escalation of domestic terrorism, sensible gun laws, extreme racism, homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, and religious intolerance.

Personal rights and the differences between Americans should never have become issues on which our politicians spend most of their time: a woman’s right to make decisions about her own physical and mental health, and an individual’s right to love the person of their choice and build a future based on that relationship.

THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE 21^ST CENTURY HAS BEEN A HUGE FAILURE IN AMERICA

For most of my nearly 78 years, I believed that the United States of America was proud to be a country where compassion, understanding, and acceptance were growing among all of our nation’s people.

Here we are in the 21^st century, and those virtues have been replaced with anger, hatred, and violence against other Americans. America has become known as “the Angry Nation.”

I miss “my” country: I hope it can be saved.
