While watching something, a solemn version of “America the Beautiful” played and I burst into sad tears. I remember growing up in this country with such pride and love. This perpetual circus that crushes my memory of what it means to be an American weighs heavier day to day.

I still remember the ideals, the honor, the brotherhood and fight to protect and love your fellow man no matter their origins, their skin color, their beliefs. We were the beacon for so many in this world that there was a better way. Now... I am filled with shame.

We cannot forget those ideals. We cannot claim blind pride in a country and is a moral shadow of what it once was. We need to admit that we are being lied to and guided to ruin by these dangerous choices our administration is taking.

No matter your political affiliation, you must look at recent events, statements, and actions and consider the pain caused in their wake. This isn’t the America I grew up to love. “Party over country” is a funeral dirge. We are better than this.

I grew up more Moderate myself, finding things on both sides of the political spectrum I agreed and disagreed with, but things have swung so far to the side of cruelty that I am left sitting in the liberal seats without moving.

Step back, look at the things happening around you, and ask if YOU are genuinely ok with letting these things happen. Will you question the authority responsible? Will you hold them accountable? Will you fight for a better voice to represent and lead your future?

Better days are ahead. Trump won't be forever, the generation who lived through this nonsense will eventually be in charge and know what NOT to do, and hopefully America can be better. The bar has been set pretty low recently- things can only get better, surely?

I think things are on the way to getting much,much worse. Especially if we sit on our hands with privledged complacency that "better days are ahead." Tell that to the people suffering due to this country's actions NOW.

Of course we can't ever get complacent, and that we do have to keep pressuring those in charge on why others are suffering. We need it in the news constantly and can't forget it. But working with the idea of the better days ahead is the only way we're going to get there.
