rantings of a suburban housewife: getting political and really don’t care.

Posted on August 12, 2020 by carla

This.

This is BEYOND offensive.

BEYOND offensive.

Allow me to introduce myself: part of who I am is indeed a suburban housewife. And I am offended that apparently we are all supposed to be pregnant barefoot in the kitchen, or at least chained to something in the kitchen. And drooling versus thinking.

If you love this President, there is no way on God’s green earth that you can talk your way around this tweet. It is offensive to every woman everywhere.

And I say that as someone who has never exactly been a women’s libber but I’m starting to understand why you get to be that way as a woman more and more every damn day.

This is purely and simply a male chauvinist PIG sexist statement.

And of course it is also just more of the Twitter rantings of someone who you have to question if they are mentally fit at this point to be President don’t you?

I don’t know when we moved into a dictatorship or oligarchy or something pretty damn close, but here we are people.

This man does not represent America. This man does not care about America. The only thing this man cares about is his own toxic narcissistic self and what he can get out of all of us. As in how much money can he make of of us before he walks or gets shoved away?

This country is teetering on total disaster. And you can lay it at his feet. These toxic politics of running a country on Twitter has created a divisive, caustic atmosphere in which we all must try to just exist. That’s not fair to any of us, no matter what your political persuasion.

We are suffering from a global pandemic which Washington DC really still isn’t dealing with because telling the truth might interfere with someone’s re-election campaign, right? COVID-19 really isn’t real is it? It’s just something made up by politicians opposing the current administration, have I got that supposition down correctly? Essentially people are dying but as long as this guy gets re-elected that’s all that matters right?

WRONG. And I’m speaking to all the Republicans out there who secretly within the four walls of their own home know this isn’t a good person to have as a Republican president yet because they think they will turn to pillars of salt if they vote for a Democrat they will be among the Sheeple in November.

And let’s talk about other things in this country. How about the great racial divide? What has this administration done to combat racism? NOTHING. They have made it worse. Until 2020 I didn’t think it was possible to make it worse. Yet here we are and people are dying because of that as well.

People are rioting in the streets yet Marie Antoinette with a comb over would just let them eat cake (or more appropriately in this case, McDonald’s.) I would ask if he was a student of history but I think he was the one that mixed up World War I and World War II and the last global pandemic the other day, correct? If this guy was a student of history he would understand how and why revolutions happen, right?

And I’ll remind you I’m not a screaming liberal. I am a suburban housewife and former life-long Republican. I am also a woman with a brain who definitely resents the crap out of men who are sexist pigs and talk down to us. Or anyone.

And as a suburban housewife, I could probably tell the President of the United States more about affordable housing than he actually knows. To make such a broad and offensively sweeping statement is also at its core, utterly ridiculous.

Affordable housing also means things like housing that all seniors can afford to live in when they are downsizing. We need to look no further than our own communities to see all the elderly moving out because they can’t afford to live where they raised their families. Just like young couples starting out can’t afford to raise their new families where they were raised. And new housing developments are pricing all kinds of people from multiple socio-economic levels out from where they live, so in a sense, everyone needs affordable housing. The top 2% in this country are fine, it’s the rest of us who have to worry.

Affordable housing isn’t some dark stain of Section 8. And published research shows that affordable housing isn’t some evil foisted on society. How about with all of the new developments that they keep building that are mostly townhouses, condos, and apartments they add affordable units each project? If they are going to keep approving these hideous developments in local municipalities, they should at least throw in a few affordable units, but they don’t. They never do.

We actually need safe affordable housing. But before we get to that it also might be nice to have leadership in Washington that has actual respect for women. I resent a politician that wants to tell me what it is I and any other woman in this country are supposed to do with our bodies, and how we’re supposed to think.

And if you want to get into the whole pro-choice/pro-life debate which doesn’t belong on pulpit or political platforms in the first place, the basic tenet here that everyone is missing is that it doesn’t matter if a woman is pro-choice or pro-life it’s her decision to make. Period.

Believe it or not, a woman can be pro-life and also be pro-choice based on the belief that every woman has to decide what is best for herself.

Gloria Steinem and Susan B.Anthony’s spirit rolling in her grave, I am over here. And I am getting your points more and more every day.

Women are not the chattel of sexist politicians.

Our forefathers did not fight and bleed to form this great nation to have it come down to this.

America I cry for you.

Rant over.

Hugs and kisses from a suburban housewife.
