Poem on the "No King's" Protest

I am not a democrat; I am an independent voter who is wise enough to vote for the person and not the party they belong to. I am proudly not on either side of the political war. But I believe in standing against dictatorships and the abusive hate filled warmongering that we have been experiencing in the past few months. President Trump claims to be into "peace" while he performs or fuels raging hate filled wars here in America (against democrats and immigrants...etc.) as well as abroad - against Palestine and Argentina. (Not to mention his terrif wars.) Trump's "peacemaker" delusion must be broken and his own (far too) controlling and hate filled warring behaviors must be stopped, for the sake of safety and liberty in America. I hope he finds his heart.

 We the people want... No abusive threatening dictators. No making democrats - (our fellow citizens), "the enemy." None of our tax money funding National Guard deployments, for Trumps vengeance campaigns, against the democrat cites. No cruel forced expulsion of harmless law-abiding immigrants. None of our tax money funding Israel's genocide and illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. No violent war mongering anywhere...etc. We want PEACE and FREEDOM and unition in America and the world. 

 No king's Protest

 I drove around the crowded circle,
With thumbs up and a beeping horn,
For all who are standing today
Against Liberties being torn.
I wish for us to regain peace.
America has no need or use
For dictating war mongers
Who deliver hateful abuse.
I thank all who can care
And give the rest hope
For a future free of
Any "king's" rope.

What is Antifa?

Since trump declared Antifa a terrorist group, I have done a bit of research on it, because I did not know who or what they are. According to the reports I found its not even an organized group; its just people who are against things like racism, and fascism, and dictatorships, and hate speech, and abuse and other things that are harmful to people. And they tend to gather and do protests to help make our societies more safe and free and loving. Their core values are actually really good. And so, this situation seems like yet another one where the good is being targeted for daring to stand up against the bad in our world.
   One report I read said that some people, who call themselves Antifa, started getting more organized and more outspoken, and that some members have sometimes been involved in altercations with opposing groups like Maga during Trumps first term. They are both anti-Trump and "far left" types of people, so I can see why Trump hates them. But I find it really disturbing that Trump has just threatened to start literally bombing them right here in America. Has he completely lost his mind???!!!

The first video below is a beautiful Antifa song, which describes values that are actually very much like mine. The core of Antifa appears to be people who care about humanity enough to stand up for its freedom and safety. And I don't see anything wrong with that...

Below I share a news broadcast about a man who just had to flee our country with his whole family, due to repeated death threats....etc., by MAGA people. Its so sad that this happened to him. How many others have been hurt by Trump's wars against American citizens? And how many more will be hurt before this hate filled insanity is stopped?
