I want to formally apologize for my country. I am sorry that we—the US—look like the selfish fools that we have become. We are not all like what is being portrayed but many are. Look at who is in the Whitehouse. Many of us are busy trying to make the world a better place for everyone and not just a chosen few but it’s like in school when you have one or two bullies in the class that cause chaos and mess everything up for everyone. That’s us right now.
I hang my head in shame for what my president and his administration are doing. No, it is no being blown out of proportion. These are heinous acts against humanity. I’m not going to sit here and sling blame at everyone like some are doing. I believe we have responsibility and therefore the actions of the few will have consequences for the many and not just those of us in the US but all across the globe.
I was horrified to watch the events unfold of the past week or so. I can’t tell you how much it tears me up. A phoenix is a mystical bird who rises up from the ashes—one who is reborn. We weren’t in the ashes when this administration began but we are hurdling there quickly now. I suffered at the hands of a narcissist but this narcissist that is leading us is the worst I have ever seen—one that has psychopathic tendencies. Dangerous. In order for a phoenix to rise, we must first die and that’s not acceptable in my opinion.
I just wanted to say that I am so very sorry for the actions of my country’s leaders. We have a choice each day that we get up—to do good or to not. Right now, we aren’t doing good things. We are being selfish ingrates.
I can’t say Happy Gardening so I will just say again that I am sorry!

I think my reblog disappeared, but I shared this on. Great words and post, we should feel badly as a nation…

Same.
No apology needed. There is though, a huge need for change for the better for humanity for the world (not just the USA, but it would help if the USA was seen to be driving this). All that any one individual can do, is to do their own personal best to this end which, it seems you are trying to do, so WELL DONE! If others followed your example then change for the better will come… Happy gardening! 🙂
I’ve been embarrassed and scared ever since I found out he was a candidate. But I like how you mention the phoenix. Maybe we don’t all have do die literally, for the phoenix to rise. Maybe the electoral college will die! Not the people, just the entity.
I hang my head in shame right along with you.
I feel for the people who are embarrassed; it’s not your fault. But looking from Australia, it’s a very strange turn of events. We have compulsory voting; maybe he wouldn’t have won had that been the case there.

Sad thoughts here.
Well said.
Well said. I’ve been feeling the same way for the past week, watching the news sickens me, but I can’t escape everything being done and said right now in the US because its the topic of conversation, of course.. Perhaps it was foolish of me to even try. I’m glad, however, to know that I’m not alone and that there are so many others embarrassed and shamed by what’s happening now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
