1. Can I ask everyone a favor? People are acting like the #TrumpShutdown is the result of incompetence, and blaming others for letting things come to this pass. Are they not seeing that this is *deliberate*? This whole year has been about breaking things down.
2. Just think about what they have broken down. Codes preventing corruption. Codes of respectful speech. Codes of treating women and minorities. Codes of speaking of foreign nations. Codes of all our traditional American values.
3. Codes of environmental protection. Codes of how we treat the sick and the elderly. Codes of how we speak of people with disabilities. Codes of how we deal with scientific research. Codes of how we separate truth from blatant lies.
4. All the basic stuff people used to agree on, from funding schools and infrastructure, to keeping kids from getting sick, to preserving our international alliances, has suddenly become “controversial.” This is not an accident.
5. The current administration and all its enablers hate our government and the values that have allowed our country to flourish throughout the generations. *Destroying the government is the core of Trumpism.* Why is this hard to see?
6. So please, let’s stop acting like this is an accident. It’s a deliberate instrument to sow chaos in our nation. We are fighting back and we need your help. If you believe in the American values that made our nation great, I’d appreciate your support. secure.actblue.com/contribute/pag…
