(35,037 posts)requires respecting and honoring the executive branch.
This office has been completely tainted by Trump, by his 'election' normalizing the alt/far right, by betraying trans soldiers, by putting the interests of the Kremlin ahead of the most disadvantaged of us here and disadvantaged people in Russia, by putting in office a man who has described a billion and a half people as a "problem", and more.
This is my perception that I have of this branch now, of this White House, and that is something I truly want to give up, but I can't now.

Remember when all those pundits said the Iraq war was won only two weeks after it started? We've created a cult of personality around the White House, and this is one example of this cult of personality we need to oppose, we can oppose, and we must oppose.
Our country was wrong then, and too many innocent people paid the price... and are still paying it. The trans community will also pay a price for this adulation of Trump and what he says... just because he occupies the Oval Office.
