Too Scared to Speak Out (Against Trump) | A Freedom of No Speech

Hey Sweeties,

I am not wholly sure where I am going with this post, but I know I need to write something so I figured I would just start writing, and hope it will make sense later. Here goes.

As you all know, I do not shy away from opinions and things both on this blog and on my social media accounts. While some areas of politics and world culture do present a challenge to discuss, some things you cannot but stick on your wellington boots and wade into the conversation with, no matter how sticky and muddy it may be.

So, this thing with Trump…

I am not sure I can say or present anything about Donald Trump that others have not already voiced and this post is not going to try. Dare I say it, we knew this was coming when a country votes in a leader that has very dangerous views and ways to action them. Part of my theory is that Trump does not think he is going to serve his full term in office, so he is cracking on with as much as he can before he is booted out of the White House. But who knows, right?

This morning it was announced that Sally Yates, Trump’s Acting US Attorney General got fired for contradicting the travel ban (which has stopped people from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the US) and if Twitter is anything to go by, she’s been applauded as a hero, and good for her I say! Normally to be fired from a position is something to be frowned upon, but how satisfying it must be to be fired because your values are considered a threat because they represent the majority view.

I think there are two things that have so far come out of Trump’s Presidency that are almost as alarming as Trump himself. 1. Our Prime Minister is actually spineless when it comes to standing up to bad people, and 2. How people of influence are not using their voice to speak out against wrongdoing. Let me elaborate on the latter point.
