Sometimes I feel like why even try.

5. I know Jonas Salk invented the Polio vaccine, I know Hank Aaron is

a baseball legend who did a lot to break the color barrier, that great advances have been made. I did learn that. I understand and appreciate that.

Maybe my over emotional state is preventing me from clearly stating what is really frustrating me. I think being too optimistic has just as many pitfalls as being too pessimistic.

My cousin saw a girl in his class get raped by a priest, and when he told adults they said to him a priest wouldn't do that.

In high-school we got told how wonderful and perfect our founding fathers were but didn't get told many owned slaves. That the Civil War was more about economic motives than civil rights. Now DeSantis wants to have children be taught slavery was good for black people.

Good and bad both exist, but how are we supposed to combat the bad stuff, if it's not recognized and pointed out. Yes the Holocaust in Germany was stopped, but the evidence was there that it was happening before anyone actually tried to do anything to stop it. It's like 9/11. The French warned us, Bush ignored them people died, because of arrogance that we were invincible. Russia just ignored the CIA's warnings about the terrorist attack, if they'd listened maybe not all those people would have died.

This is what I fear about the Trump situation. That not enough people are understanding that we cannot just assume he's going to be brought to justice or loose, because we want it too. There needs to be an awareness and preparation for the possibility that the worst could happen, because too much is at stake to just cross our fingers and hope that it won't. But I get scolded every time I voice those fears which come from observation not from current day political pundits.
