Hillary "Be President if you must, it’s all yours, just don’t tell us to live in fear"

Just Don’t Tell Us to be Afraid, Hillary
by paradox


..............................................

It’s bad enough one Party constantly disparages government, the last thing we need is this choking bridle of fear cast upon us. My God, what happened to the legendary cheerful American can-do spirit? Did we come out of nowhere in 230 years by being violent, fearful peeping toms? Is that how we’re supposed to take on our future?

Climate change becomes more urgent to fix every day, inequality and unemployment are already a screaming catastrophe, the country is becoming a wreck from education and infrastructure neglect, but hey 2 wars, 13 aircraft carriers and just an intelligence budget of 50 billion dollars with fear fear fear be afraid of the terrorists is precisely what the country needs. Right?

I can see appalling centrist acceptance of our climate and employment catastrophe, Hillary, you don’t remotely have the liberal moxie to fix those issues. Be President if you must, it’s all yours, just don’t tell us to live in fear, wage 2 wars and spend $50 billion on spying creeps, I beg of you. Living under the evil yoke of fear is destroying this country.

Why are we pretending those things are not happening right fucking now? Why are we putting blame on someone who does not currently hold office?
