As one of my hobbies and also because I express myself in different ways, I’ve been creative writing over 10 years now. About the last half of that time is when I actually started sharing or submitting it to newspaper & magazine editoral boards. The city I was born and raised, Daytona Beach, is where I received my first taste of having your thoughts, ideas, words, and inner reflections printed for all to see. I must have had 10 or so “letters to the editor” published in the Daytona Beach News-Journal. I’ve had 2 published in the Orlando Sentinel as well 2 published in the Florida Today that circulated around the Melbourne coastal communities in central Florida. I’ve had a few website’s pick my work up and published them on their webpage. To this day I still wonder how they first read my work and thought highly enough about it to publish my words on their page. It is such a rush of feelings and emotions when by chance your surfing the web and you see your work. Never being asked if they can share or post it on their website or blog is up for debate. But I wouldn’t have denied them. It definitely is the reason I created a totally new blog. I want that flame of inspiration to burn again inside me. My older blog had some wild subject matter along with vulgar, nasty, and rude things I would write about. My political point of view has changed vastly since I began writing 10 years ago. My new blog is going to have incredible subject matter and the personal experiences along with the detail in my own words will be the selling point. Texas is a red conservative state. Some say it will be a blue state by 2024. The city that I call home now, Austin, is not the automatic vote most conservative politicians have come accustom to. It’s a liberal city without any doubts. It’s not like most cities of the huge state of Texas. Austin is one of the only cities in all of Texas that votes for a Democrat in vastly outnumbering ways. Not only that, it votes very deep blue in local, state, and national elections. Liberal politicians who support far left caucus are taking notice. Noticeably more advertising dollars are focused here and Austin is a must stop city for any political campaign. Liberalism and the socialist ideas that come in that package are gaining in popularity. The most agreeable topic that unites the mainstream democrat party members and the farther left liberal factions is the absolute hatred of anything President Trump. Most of that hate is directed and focused on anyone who dares to wears a Red MAGA Hat in their field of vision. With laser like perfection the will ambush and surround that individual. Over the top vitriol and violence in most cases towards someone wearing a Red MAGA Hat normally is something seen on news reports in 3rd world countries during their voting seasons. Easily in most cases a simple Google or YouTube search will show countless instances and the numbers are growing daily. Some are comical or juvenile in nature I must admit. Yet the numbers are rising for the outrageously violent and criminal acts that some Americans direct towards other Americans whom just happen to vote a different way or believe in a different cause. Some of the instances border on the insane and rise to a level never seen before in American politics. Calling someone who is wearing the Red MAGA Hat a fascist or racist shows a complete lack of education in the two studies of those topics. They attack people desperately trying to silence their right to free speech, expression, and even their movements. That is not only hypocritical, but is the exact definition of what fascism is. I witness the growing mob mentality of groups like ANTIFA or like minded common protesters who rallying in huge numbers for their own rights. But they easily and viciously step all over anyone that dares to have their own ideas that are not in line with their beliefs. I used to dismiss and play off all the craziness. I would say that these people have lost their minds literally! But its been over two and a half years of others and myself saying that. It is way beyond the point of sitting or standing idle. When the citizens and news media come to expect violence at every protest or campaign rally, something is broken down in our system of democracy. So what better place to write and expose the things that I see and witness while living in a deep blue state capital city in a deep red state! I Can’t wait for the 2020 election primaries to start very soon. It’s going to be a silly season of insane rhetoric, plenty of made for T.V. drama, and enough face slapping moments to write about! God Bless The United States of America
