When you wonder what happened to the ideals your friends once aspired to, and you
question their reasoning and morals. When Donald Trump gets a pass for self reporting
His sexual assaults because his celebrity status entitled him. When some women shrug and
Claim that it’s only locker room talk, and all men do it, but you know that’s untrue. When
You can remember being groped by a boy, but you didn’t tell because he made you feel
Ashamed. When you know that the future of your granddaughters depends on your vote.
Never Trump.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
It is a national travesty, and as you say, appalling that women can look away, although denial is a powerful thing. I too, wish for my granddaughters that they shall never feel shame for the sinful acts of others.

This whole “travesty” – to use V.J.’s AngloSaxon euphemism – begs the question: shouldn’t the next Administration deal with changing the laws for the primaries and nominating process?

I don’t think that’s the course we’d take. We have a segment of the population that is terribly disgruntled and they chose a huckster for their candidate. A good many have realized what he is and turned away from him now. They’ll either vote for Hillary or not at all. I just fear that there’s a huge mass of the Trumpsters who aren’t being represented in the polling. I won’t rest easy until this is all over. And maybe not for 4 years!

I relate so much to your first lines. It is so difficult to understand why women I’ve been friends with would support him. I just don’t understand. Great poem here. Once again I enjoy your poetic structure as well as your content.

The sight of him angers me. No writer could create a character like him and have any credibility because he is beyond belief. Did I mention I’m not voting Trump?

I’m right there with you. I posted a scathing rant about him on Facebook last night. Now I’m dreading opening up my page.

It’s unfortunate that our society normalizes behavior just because it’s common.
