Betrayed

D5830554-DD0D-4317-A27B-B60D9B9E9F2DI feel betrayed…

By those who deny climate change.
By those who deny science.
By those who deny evolution.
By those who don’t care about the environment.
By those who put God and the Bible before the U.S. Constitution.
By those who put party over country.
By those who cast a blind eye at poverty, racism, sexism, homophobia, intolerance, and injustice in America.
By those who believe they should have domain over the healthcare and bodies of others.
By those who believe war is always the best answer.
By those who believe there should be no restrictions on the purchase of military-style assault weapons by anyone at any time.
By those who cheat, lie, and deceive in order to achieve their own unenlightened self-interests.
By those who don’t know the difference between facts and opinions.
By those who hack into computers and steal other people’s personal information and identities.
By those who show little regard for human life.
By those who mistreat animals.
By most politicians.
By the current President of the United States.

    These people didn’t betray you. They were never on your team in the first place.

        Essentially you feel betrayed by idiots. Get used to it. They seem to be breeding like rabbits at the moment.
