Our Dad’s didn’t fight for this

​Our fathers served in WWII in the Air Force and Kathy’s father was a prison of war for 10 months.  We know neither of our fathers fought to serve a man like Donald Trump and his self-aggrandizing platform.  Kathy’s father did not endure ten months of cruelty at the hands of the Nazis to serve a man who has openly stated he admires Adolph Hitler and is imitating his takeover plan.  
To those who defend Trump, you know in your heart his focus is not on the constitution or the citizens of our great country.  It’s hard to admit you’ve been fooled, but Trump can hit on hot spots that bother all of us.  
So far, he 
Was convicted of 34 felonies, which involve mis-stating his use of his money and his financial value.  (Mis-stating is another word for falsifying or lying.)
*Commuted the sentences of 1,500 insurrectionists who attacked police in an attempt to take over the government.  These people were found guilty of crimes by a jury of their peers, not a hostile government.
*Proposing completely unqualified cabinet directors and trying to avoid the Senate confirmation process. 
* Withdrawing from the Paris Accord and the World Health Organization.  
*Threatening neighbors with high tariffs, knowing full well that it will harm them and our own citizens.
*Attempting to withhold federal assistance to many needy Americans and now suggesting cuts to Medicare.
32 % of eligible voters voted for Trump.  31% voted for Harris.  2 % voted for a third party. 36% did not vote.  This is not an overwhelming mandate as Trump claims. 
 We can’t ask our dads if they fought for this kind of evil, but we’re pretty sure they didn’t.
