[Peace-discuss] Dems are pathetic!

[Karen Aram]

AWARE did a protest, ad hoc last Sunday, 4 of us, with many people taking our flyers. However, most people had no interest or concern.

Many people I speak with are very afraid of being bombed, unaware that “we” are the perpetrators and provocateurs. I attempt to explain that unless we are stopped, there likely will be retaliation.

Most people just think it’s all about Trump, “if only we didn’t have Trump all would be well,” which is what the Democrats promote.

I had hoped the Democrats would be against the bombings given they are being done by Trump, whom they hate, and might then support the anti-war movement, because unless that happens we are fighting the same uphill battle we did with Obama, that of disbelief on the part of Americans that our government is controlled by forces now known as the “Deep State,” and our continued path to perpetual war and control will continue with either of the two Party system actors.

Suggestions of hope, are highly welcomed.

The Dems would never do that because most of them (if not all) don’t oppose an attack on North Korea, at least I’ve seen no evidence that they do. They cheered his missile strikes on Syria and have remained silent about the huge increase in attacks on Yemen. We were at the Tax march in Chicago today and I can tell you, most of the people who came out are very much alert to the dangers of sharply escalating war, especially attacks on N Korea, and very much opposed to them. They are being MISled by the Democrats, who as you say, spoke only about Trump hiding his g.d. taxes. I frankly didn’t pay much attention to the politicians’ speeches. The people who were there had a lot more interesting and important things to say.

So here we are on the Verge of a Catastrophic War with North Korea. The Dems have organized nationwide protests to get Trump to release his tax returns today. And instead of converting those protests into immediate anti-war demonstrations, the Dems continue with their tax protests. What a Gang of Phonies and Fakes and Hypocrites these Dems really are. Truly pathetic! Let us consign the Dems to the Ashcan of History.
Fab.
