What Will the Mid-Term Elections Be About?

Republicans, particularly those who listen to Steven Bannon and Donald Trump, will believe it's about their hatred of brown-skinned people, the border with Mexico, and the rest of their agenda. It shouldn't be. It's about something much bigger than that. It's about the Law and upholding the Law, so everyone in America can be better off. Our government isn't just for a few haters. It's to serve all of us. It's to protect people of color, gays, working poor, ultra wealthy billionaires who own a newspaper, families who need to stay together, everyone who needs lead-free water to drink, our soldiers who need to NOT be sent to stupid wars, Californians and others who face natural disasters & need government help, and many more things. We don't get to have all those things when our president and a majority of Congress are Hell-bent on serving a minority of Americans and their bizarre hatreds.

When the majority in the House and Senate won't even be seen in the same room with any Democrats, if they can avoid it, we have a problem. When our president says the press shouldn't be allowed to ask him questions or expect an answer, though those journalists pay taxes which fund the government. How can a government run by radicals serve us when they claim the majority are un-decorous for simply doing their jobs?

These mid-term elections aren't just about Donald Trump either. He's just one politician (albeit an important one) who is telling us to think about anything except his incompetence or criminality. The mid-terms are about how we got into this mess, where criminality abounds in the administration and the presidential campaign which preceded it, and how we get out of it by upholding the Law so that all of us can survive and do well.

We are stronger together.
