Dear Mr. Trump....
Dear Mr. President,
I have tweeted to you more than once, but being neither high-profile nor vital to your concerns, I doubt you paid much attention.
No I did not vote for you. It wasn’t that I was enamored of your opponent – I was not. And it was not because of your marital history [I myself have been married thrice], not because of your reality shows, not because of your business practices, not because of your petulant and childish comments on Twitter, not even because of your old white man privileged point of view that discounts and disparages anyone who is not white, male and rich [in that order] – even though I am most definitely not okay with your expressed point of view. No, the thing that finally decided me to cast my vote against you was your comment that in the third debate that you “will keep you in suspense” when questioned directly as to whether you would accept the outcome should Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton prevail on Nov 8, later joking that you would totally accept the results if you won. To this day, I am convinced that you have no concept of just how radical and troubling that statement was – and that it should’ve disqualified you from holding any office, much less the presidency.
62,979,636 voters of the 218,959,000 citizens registered to vote [28.76%] and 306 Electors in the Electoral College disagreed with me -- and today you took your place as our 45th president.
So, what will “make America great again”? Well first it is my expectation that you will make it clear that that tolerance and diversityIS what America stands for – and here is my list of tangible items:
- · Economic and social programs that will encourage and support the vanishing middle class – this will address the rampant income inequity, the issue of wage gaps suffered by women and minorities, and help strengthen families by providing a better work/life balance. AND we need to do a better job of taking care of those in need.
- · Reforming health care in such a way that insurance, medical and pharmaceutical companies are made non-profit or not-for-profit so they no longer have an incentive to make money off of our misery and need
- · Education programs that stop squabbling about proficiency VS growth and [1] start holding kids and parents as well as teachers accountable for mastering basic skills and [2] address the changes that tech has wrought
- · Adjusting the criminal system to be more equitable in its treatment of citizens and less focused on seeing how many folks can be thrown behind bars
- · A foreign policy that doesn’t involve selfishness and manipulation but acknowledges our responsibility to actually help others
- · Funding research and development so that once again we can reach for the stars.
You do these things, or at least set the wheels in motion to get them done? Then we will be copasetic. If you keep turning to the dark side? You and I are going to be enemies indeed. The choice is yours – choose wisely.
I -- no WE -- will be watching.
