One Dark Night

7. "They aren't going to lead a revolution" because they can't.

They have contempt running through their veins, hatred eating at their hearts, cowardice hiding
where principles should be. They roll only with others just like them, slash at anything that resembles tolerance or good will, burn bridges like they'll never have to travel over a familiar road again.

They have no use for poor people, sick people with inadequate health insurance, young adults carrying enormous student loan debts, homeless children. They'll look right past an inmate who just needs a DNA test to prove his innocence or a transgender person beaten half to death simply because he/she wants to be who they know they are. They spit out the word "Chicago" like it's the name of a threatening epidemic and plot ways to circumvent laws, rules and standards that are in place to help the least fortunate. They abhor voting rights, civil rights, gay rights, environmental rights, the right to choose....or any other rights that might help those who don't look like them.

Just know they're going to cheat, steal, obstruct, lie, collude, conspire, degrade. They'll all have flag pins....but that won't stop them from sullying everything our country stands for.

They are a threat and we must stop them, especially since their treacherous ways are bolder by the day.
