Legacy

I don't think legacy can be discussed or known until long after the person has passed and time has elapsed to see the true impact.  So its crazy to read these glowing or in my case the not so glowing assessment of the spineless one.  Sorry just can't get myself to be objective.  

Its well documented my hatred and disgust at the half white President, so addressing his legacy is not something I want to do.  I get as angry as anti-trump people when I start thinking of the legacy of the spineless one.

I am hoping time adjusts what I feel has been the biggest evil on humanity.  Sometimes short term pain leads to long term success and I am more than happy to forgive and admit my mistakes if humanity benefits from this last President and his administration.  

However I am afraid not in my lifetime will I see the positive effects if there are any from the policies of this half white spineless one.   Children dying by hundreds of thousands in Syria and the Mediterranean, War and uncertainty globally as no one knows who the parent is anymore.  Instead of globalism we have nationalism as the philosophy everywhere, this with a half white President.  Its no consequence this has happened in the last 8 years.  Too many people got dazzled by the half white nature and forgot to see objectively the destruction being caused by his policies of inaction.  The rich get richer and poor get killed.  That's the Obama legacy.  Trump is the consequence.

I hope sincerely I am wrong and in time this post is a proven wrong in everyway.   I didn't even address the domestic damage of the health care, for fear for my blood pressure and heart, as in the new America I can't afford to get sick because of the Affordable Health Care Act.

Hope and Optimism is America.

A week after the stunning victory and America is still alive. There is a lot of anger out there and it's understandable. You should be angry.  What is the most interesting is who is the most angry in America.  I was caught off guard by who took this Democratic loss the hardest.

First off its the foreigners on social media and I say to them #$&@! Y'all.  You don't live in our country and had no idea what our daily lives are and what our issues are.  The same foreigners who want to say America needs to stop being the bully are the same ones consumed by our election.  Hey the winner claims he wants to be inclusive, you should be happy.

My true friends on the losing side were heartbroken but they could see why and how this happened and began to admit there is an issue in America where a whole bunch of people felt left out. Is it not a sign of democracy when the downtrodden can effect the election?  It's should be a positive when the money and influence get defeated.

The angry are the snobs. Snobbery came to light and snobbery lost.  All those people deep in their heart who believe they are better than those who have an opposing view.  Yes you may be a liberal and peace nik but you feel those who are not aligned with you are not your equal as human beings.  The opposing voice makes them angry. They are considered ignorant. It's ignorance because their priority is not yours.  So you have angry white snobs rioting in Portland and such.  Do you notice the cities with the riots are not really inner cities who have issues? These are spoiled kids who can't believe, there are people who don't think like them. Who talked about the system and tradition when their opponent threatened to contest and now they are doing it violently. They don't see the irony.

Angry liberal media snobs. The media in America has for a long time stop representing the people. They are elites busy telling people what they thought instead of covering what the people were thinking. They highlighted one candidates faults while hiding the others thinking the electorate was stupid. They were all wrong on their coverage and predictions because it was based on them and not the people they claim to represent.

Intellectual academia snobs. These are the people who would tell us how destructive one candidate was to the psychology of America while never addresing the past damage already done by the other candidate. These group would continue to find excuses to justify what was wrong and unethical. Discounting the influence of a class which is not interested in their views.

Around me this week there were a lot of sad people at the state of America but the angry ones showed their snobbery. The angry ones can not believe sane reasonable people could vote for the winner.  Since it never occurred to them that anything besides their view is acceptable.  The angry ones are still trying to claim;  the voters who voted have no idea what they voted for, (which could turn out to be true) but they know why they voted as such and they cannot be look down upon.  I voted for Obama and did not get what I expected but I don't remember people looking down at me for voting for change. Voting for an unknown quantity. Biggest regret of my life.

America will survive this as it did the half white spineless one, but hopefully Americans have learned the lesson of over looking the disfranchised. The Democratic party lost poor working people. How?  Because the party and media wanted to be the elite. 

Eight years ago I was heartened with my country because it did what was unexpected. It elected a half white man. Thou I did not endorse this candidate I felt  heartened that America again did what I thought was not possible. It rejected the establishment against all odds. It reaffirms people can change America. Now we the people must start giving ourselves better candidates to represent us.  This hopefully breaks the system. Hope and optimism is America.
