236. Stop saying Americans who voted for Trump didn't want this!
from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga
This is not for the people who voted for VP Harris. I'm referring to people who voted for #trump who people keep excusing for various reasons. I see people like former Senator #clairemckaskill constantly saying that Americans won't stand for this policy or that like #massdeportations. I'm not seeing it. After the cancelling of federal aid, there was uproar but it was because people felt directly affected. But you noticed how that was restored but most people, for example, protesting to have foreign aid continue and how people are dying over it now (see @ProPublica story below). I feel like too many people who didn't vote just didn't care enough about others or the potential policies of Trump to care. We need an overhaul of our humanity to fight what is happening under this new administration. It's not about politics. It's about humanity. Do you have enough humanity to fight back not only for yourself but for others too? You who voted for him supposedly over eggs clearly see he has no policy on that. His new policies have only been about #tariffs or policies that deny various groups rights. We have to get out of this "Me University" mindset if we really want to save this country. #upstander Propublica https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-state-department-usaid-humanitarian-aid-freeze-ukraine-gaza-sudan Learn more about your ad choices.
