🧵What happened to my neighborhood?
Since my retirement from the Military I have struggled to transition to civilian life. With the rise of Trumpism & the Covid19 pandemic the struggle has become more difficult.

As a Veteran, I am saddened, angry & disappointed all at the same time. 24 years active duty Army & 6 years as a Federal Employee, I fear for the future of our Democracy. I question my service & often wonder if the sacrifices over 30 years were all worth it?
I’ve had to deal with neighbors who have latched on to a toxic ideology that doesn’t include respect for others or just common human decency.
Living amongst people who believe the twisted narratives & routinely retaliate against those who don’t.

The propaganda spewed by right wing media has given these folks permission to treat people negativity without fear of repercussions.
So called lawmakers spinning toxic rhetoric against minorities, LGTBQ & our education system, without accountability, has inflamed a portion of the population to a point that has caused hate crimes to rise across the country.
The beacon of freedom this country once was has transformed into a toxic wasteland of conspiracy theories, hate, lies & intolerance.
I fear for the future of this country because if my neighbors are any indication of that future we are in serious trouble.
