The Straw that Broke Me

The Straw that Broke Me Saturday was day one of voting in Nevada, so I went. I was greeted by a woman with a bull horn, who proceeded to berate me, call me homophobic slurs and then literally committed battery on my person. Why? Because she supports Trump and MAGA. And she was allowed because she was more than 100 feet from the doors. I literally had to call the police on her after she bloodied my lip with her bullhorn. To vote. In America. I was disgusted. But I'm not alone, a news NBC poll has 71% of the nation saying Trumpism has gone in the wrong direction, and his overall approval rating below 30%. People are anxious, fedup an afraid. But the interaction said far more about me, and my state of mind than the MAGA assailant. And I don't like what it said. America is irrevocably broken, the midterms are a myth we tell ourselves to feel better after. Will the Democrats get the homeless off the streets, lower gas prices within months? Restore order and put the guardrails back on the USA? Will they impeach and remove Trump and cabinet? As he wonders aimlessly after rallies, no one will even admit he's demented. Our fate in the hands of a demented zealot. So the question becomes, is this all window dressing for a country beyond repair? As France explodes in protests, why aren't we? #KarelShow, #LGBTQ, #Vegan, #LasVegas, #TheStrawThatBrokeMe, #VoterIntimidation, #NevadaVoting, #VotingRights, #DemocracyUnderThreat, #PoliticalViolence, #StopTheHate, #Trumpism, #AmericaInCrisis, #IndependentMedia, #SpeakOut https://youtube.com/live/4l4PNjHHen0 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-karel-show--1368295/support.
