5. I was thinking this needed to happen

While listening to the speakers at the protest/march in Ann Arbor talk about how WE drive the American economy, I was like, we need a national strike. No one spends a dime, and no workers show up to their shifts. I know it may be tough for some to consider, but isn’t the other option worse? I must say that while the gathering was moving, I couldn’t help but to feel sad, and even slightly fearful that we are at this point. When that POS shot those folks in La Crosse a few years ago, I wondered if they were the first shots of a civil war. I haven’t been convinced otherwise yet. Hard to believe. Stay strong America! Together we stand! Well, you know the rest. I prefer the former. Which makes me remember what the fella running for mayor was saying. I don’t want to go BACK to how it was. That was still not great. We need to go FORWARD! Health care for all, no homelessness, no starvation, no fear of leaving your house. We were far from ideal, we can and should be better! Fuck the oligarchs currently running roughshod over us! Stand proud, and stand strong. Our Republic demands it! ☮️❤️✊🏻
