Not all of us deserve it. My family does not, especially my children. I understand your message here, but I am one who contacts the people I vote for when they make stupid decisions or different from what they promised. I am active in local and state issues as well. The speaker of the house in my state is a friend of mine and I am in his ear constantly. I fight for what I believe in and taught my kids to do the same. Don't know if I am moving the needle, but it is not for a lack of trying.
We have 50% of an electorate with their head in the sand voting for incompetent, radical, American hating people and readily accept and approve of the current goon squad of totalitarian wannabes running our government and country into the ground. I tell my neighbors to their face that I know voted for these idiots "thanks" in the most sarcastic voice I can possibly muster. Thankfully there are only a couple dummy libs on my street. The rest are reasonable, intelligent people.
