The right wing has finally gone around that dark corner from which there is no return. They are now comparing the hundreds of thousands of students marching on Saturday to Hitler’s Youth Squad. Our young people – ours! the ones who are being told to learn CPR so they can help revive their fellow students when they get shot in school… the ones who are only asking for what we once took for granted, a safe place to learn… the ones who were gutsy enough to ask why the adults in the room seem all to be turned towards the wall seeing nothing but shadows instead of bullets… these kids are the Nazi Youth?
Why is it so hard for Conservatives to believe that young people can understand what death is and that it doesn’t belong in their schools. Why is it so hard for them to believe that our young people are actually bright, intelligent and articulate and can take over when adults fail them. Why is it so hard to believe that these kids are marching for the right to go to their senior prom without armed guards frisking them. It’s something previous generations took for granted.
My generation and the generation that followed never thought about being shot to death in school. We were more worried whether Bill in French class really thought we were cute or what.
Now, simply because these kids would prefer to graduate before dying or suffering from PTSD, suddenly Conservatives are freaked. What makes these kids think they have a right to go to school in safety? What makes them think their needs outweigh the needs of Harvey to have an assault rifle that could take out a T Rex. Don’t forget, poor Harvey’s penis is so small that he wouldn’t be able to find it if he didn’t have an assault rifle strapped to his back.
I hope these kids take down every politician they target. I hope they register to vote in droves. And then I hope they vote the hell out of the pieces of shit currently representing us in DC. I hope they take back my country. They seem to have a much better understanding of what America stands for than the majority of people in DC – certainly more than the Republicans currently held captive by the NRA.
We are a country run by a disgusting, immoral piece of shit and a government run by people whose first and foremost loyalty is to the people who bought them.
Goodbye, America. We hardly knew ye.
