Let Them Eat Cake

Nauseating election results is an understatement …… those of us more privileged in this country will not or may not be as affected by trumpian policies — or think we may not be. We may object to hearing we are privileged because we feel we have worked hard to “get/earn” what we have. But in this country just being White means you were born with privilege and we do not face issues people of color face. We may struggle economically because we all live in this capitalist system. But we still don’t have the same barriers …. Maybe we face more if we aren’t heterosexual or more barriers as woman … there are all sorts of reasons for all of us to fear the stated plans trumps agenda clearly maps out. I as a white woman have always believed “an injury to one , is an injury to all” and altho I want to put my head into the sand I cannot in good faith do this .
Trump has risen to unbridled power with the huge backing of Christian Nationalists anointing him as being a chosen leader given to us from god . And even if they don’t always like the way he delivers his “ message” , believing and being told he was sent from god keeps them faithful https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-lance-wallnau-evangelical-voters/

It’s beyond my comprehension to understand or accept these beliefs that go so against any teaching I know from Jesus -/ especially the beatitudes — to embrace and advocate these beliefs and policies .
I was raised Methodist and did embrace the beatitudes -/(you can look up) as a child and still try to follow those teachings .

For myself I will try to embrace joy and seek the light… I respect and honor those who do and who also say no to the hatred , but I cannot bury my head in the sand if others around me are suffering from trumpian policies and I HOPE I will speak out against hatred and harm . Peace be with you ALL

The cake symbolizes the callousness of disregard for the less fortunate by those who are the wealthy ruling class
