Liberal is Different than Good
I’m getting a little bit tired around this election mania, y’all — for realz!
I saw a meme comparing not voting for Joe flipping Biden to not wearing a mask during this pandemic. It hinted only Trump supporters refuse to wear them. Guess what? There are stupid ass liberals out there refusing to wear masks. Ain’t like the only sin a liberal can commit is lack of political engagement. Liberals can be wasteful, racist, inconsiderate, misinformed and mean just like some conservatives. Most of the jerks I’ve ever known were liberals. My bestie is pretty conservative.
Folks be getting excited every four years over the election, the rest of the time sit by while people exploited, marginalized and full on robbed of they life, liberty and property. Y’all know damn well the execution of politics don’t change much, even when the optics of politics do. Bill Clinton stood by while both NAFTA and the DOMA happened. Obama ain’t have a much better record selling folks down the river.
Wanna put all your eggs in the electoral basket, don’t get all frothy ‘round the mouth I don’t share your enthusiasm. Outrage you feel for voter apathy’s the kind of outrage others might be experiencing when you don’t go to that protest they invited you to, or when you pull products off the shelf without a clue where they come from, or when you accept policies that marginalize people in ways you don’t have to look at on the daily.
We continue in a jacked process for “selecting” our leadership that could ever in a million years end us up with what we got up in there now. The process so flawed, somebody as unqualified this mo’ fo’ can be in the seat. We got a society that’s stratified, unfair, jaded and lacking in critical analysis. We got a segment o’ folks couldn’t tell a good leader from a Saturday morning cartoon.
Lastly, why is it still so easy to be a racist, a sexist, a homophone and otherwise a frigging bigot? Why don’t we have the basic social sanctions in place that make it uncomfortable as fuck to even experience those thoughts? We collectively have made being an asshole a desirable thing in America. We all did that: together.
Y’all got me tripping! Lol!
