Earlier today while I was getting gas, I had an encounter that to me seemed like a pretty good analogy for our current political climate and what the Trump admin and the Republican party are doing to our country…
Although the car started out at the pump behind me, I almost hit them pulling away because they got impatient and decided to pull up between me and the car on the other side instead of just waiting their turn.
Circling the parking lot to get out, despite the large WRONG WAY signs posted at the driveway meant for incoming traffic, the driver chose to go out the wrong way anyways.
It didn’t matter that she was endangering her own kids in the car.
It didn’t matter that she was endangering anyone else who wanted to enter the parking lot the correct way.
She was just going to do what she was going to do regardless of the warning signs and the rules that were put in place for everyone’s safety.
And it’s for this reason that I’m done arguing with Trump supporters about politics.
They don’t care about the warnings, and they don’t care about the other people around them. As long as they get where they’re going, everyone else be damned.
It’s useless to try and argue with these people because we’ve seen plenty of terrible results over the last two years of Trump’s presidency, yet they continue to cheer his name – anything to be anti-Democrat, even if they’re endangering themselves with every horrible decision that their faithful leader makes.
The best we can do, just like the careless driver in the parking lot, is avoid them at all costs, and when the time comes – we vote them off the road and vow never to let this kind of mistake ever happen again.
