Fear of this or that is so prominent in our American society right now. A substantial minority on the right fringe of our political system has made fear a foundation of their lives. But the most tragic thing is that those on the rest of the political spectrum have allowed the rather thin minority’s fear to convince us that all hope is lost!
I know, 81% of white evangelicals voted for #CO3 because they fear what America is becoming. They can see that they will soon no longer have the dominant role in our country’s future and that scares the hell out of them. Many in this category are racists by nature and upbringing and just can’t fathom a country where “those other people” have the same leverage as they do.
This 81% make up less than one-in-five voters in this country and due to the rest of us not taking our responsibility to vote seriously enough, they managed to put a racist and totally unqualified narcissist temporarily in control. Instead of surrendering to the Evangelical fear we need to be gearing up to do everything necessary to take our country back. That effort starts this November and is finalized twenty-four months later.
So, the primary message of this post is that all you folks who have let the right fringes’ fear traumatize you quit the pity party and recognize how this happened. If we do that, we will look back at these times as when we let a radical fringe temporarily take command. Hopefully, this is a lesson we don’t have to learn again anytime in the future.
#CO3 – Current Oval Office Occupant
If you have been around RJsCorner for even a little while I think you know that I truly believe that we as a nation are ready for an alternative to both of our current political parties. I think the tipping point for a successful third party is at hand. We need to bring another actor on the playground to force the current ones to play nice and if they don’t learn that lesson then force them to go back where they came from. Some say if you vote independent you are basically throwing your vote away. While that may have been true in the past I think its time has come. Both political parties are now ruled by their extreme edges and as the source above says the numbers on those fringes are not as thick as they would have us believe. 
Both of these issues find common ground in the source article from the Centrist Project above. We need a phoenix to rise out of the current political ash heap and give us back our country. That takes money and well-principled actors. The actors are now appearing on stage and if we are serious about change the money should follow.
