I was in traffic today in front of Marist College when I looked up and saw ‘God Bless America’ on the tailgate of a new black pickup truck. It was written in block red lettering and made to seem like a field of color. Then I noticed it was actually a cleverly done Confederate Flag! The sticker under the flag had the symbol for President Obama’s Campaign and the words Oh Shit! next to it. This guy was obviously very proud of his outright racism even using god to sanctify his ugliness. (why do they always use god!)
So this is to be our new country where idiots like this can just drive around displaying this garbage. This is in NY not some southern state like Alabama! Trump is certainly inspiring this crap to come out and it can only get worse considering the Republicans that will now be running for office, (think Moore). For my part I’ve channeled the anger into knocking on doors and driving candidates around. I’m going to get even with Trump and every other racist idiot by turning my town Blue in the next election. In the meantime there will be more and more pickup trucks and racist bastards. Come this November though the tide will turn if we all just keep our eyes on the prize and get every living soul out to vote that can vote in the local elections! Then it’s on to 2018!
I live in the 19th NY Congressional District and we have at least 8 people running for congress on the democratic side already. We will turn this seat Blue in 2018!
Note to Diary: Don’t let the small stuff bother you!
