POETRY, PROSE, AND POLITICS

Fiction, serious reality, and at times their interaction.

TO UKRAINIAN AMERICANS

Trump and his radical right wing MAGAs in Congress are holding hostage desperately needed American aid for Ukraine in its fight to save itself and therefore Europe from aggression by Trump’s friend Putin. Vote for Joe Biden. Vote for Democrats in Congress and the Senate even if you are conservative in political philosophy. This is not the normal Republican party. The Republican party has been devoured by Trump and his radical isolationists who are willing to sell out America’s allies in Ukraine and NATO in the name of closing our southern border, even though Biden is doing everything he can to reach a compromise with the normal Republicans over the border issue. Trump is playing politics with our American democracy and our American leadership in the free world. Compromise between parties is how a democracy like the USA makes decisions. But Trump is willing to sell America and our allies down the drain to protect his own personal interests.
