The biggest loser in the election last night was our dear Mother Earth. How she will suffer, how she will weep! I wonder to what degree she will fight back when her wounds open wider and her blood (water) is poisoned to degrees never imagined before a man like Trump became (again) leader of the USA.
A convicted felon who believes that Global Warming is a hoax has been elected president of the most powerful country on earth. “On the first day of my presidency,” he promised, “I will drill baby drill!” (fracking), something he promised to thunderous cheers from his supporters. A MAGA voter said in an interview this morning about Trump’s win: “It means more money in my pocket!” ‘Money’ – yes our dear Mother Earth needs to learn that ‘money’ is more important to most people of this world than is the health of the water we drink so we can live.
Trump told the world during the campaign that when elected president, he will advise Netanyahu to “finish the job”. This could only mean wiping Palestine off the face of the map. There is only one Palestine on this planet. I fear that very soon, Palestine will no longer exist, the genocide will be complete! A people who have been severely oppressed since 1948 and have been enduring unimaginable suffering for over a year, are destined it seems, to experience even greater misery now that a leader from Turtle Island gives the green light to the war mongers to wipe out Palestine. Palestinians were removed from the lands they had lived on for millennia and placed on reserves: Gaza and the West Bank. My heart, my spirit, my energies, go out to them now and I am afraid for them. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are co-combatants in the force delivering the death blow to many thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The blood of those children cannot be washed clean from the hands of the war criminals.
The violent extremists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2020 and were jailed for their criminal actions will be set free by Trump. Women’s rights will be set back decades! Trump promised to be a ‘Dictator’! “You won’t have to vote again,” he promised. When a convicted felon makes a promise like that, you got to take it seriously. Good human beings worry for the future of their children while others are concerned about money in their pockets!
Trump is a vengeful man (keep Project 2025 in mind)! People who crossed him better beware now that he will be the president. He is not the type of man I would want marrying into my family but for most American voters he’s their guy simply because they believe it means ‘more money for themselves and cheaper gas prices’.
A dying planet, where people whose ability to gather kindness into their hearts, passed away somewhere on their life’s trail. Proof of it lays in the results of last night’s election in the USA. It’s a different world! Let us do all we can to keep the circle strong.
Keep the circle strong,
