Here is my point proven about being dismissed.

So I almost didn't write anything tonight as my tank is running really low because I just can't keep up with all of the damage the Orange Oaf is causing, but then I ran across this lovely in my Facebook feed:

First of all, kudos to the individual who responded with the link refuting the claim in the meme.

Secondly, to the first reply to the post, "tree huggers protesting just because Hillary didn't become the 1st female president," what is it going to take to get you to understand the dissent and rebellion and resistance is NOT ABOUT THE ELECTION!!  Yes, he won via an antiquated system; the majority of the people's voices did not make a difference (and yes, I realize the irony in making that statement and saying it's not about the election in the same breath).  The anger, fear, resentment, and fighting you see from us come from his trying to prove he is a man of action by swiftly signing off on all his executive orders without any provocation or thought, just arbitrary actions to keep his supporters loving him. This is about him being a 70 year-old egomaniacal brat needing attention and not giving a tinker's cuss about the people whom he just swore, "so help me God," to defend and protect.

To lump and dismiss us as "tree huggers" is just insulting and, to the argument, irrelevant.  Now, of course, most of us who are resisting do believe in the preservation of our forests and scientific facts presented about climate change, but that is not the point.  The point is we disagree with every fiber in our collective being with everything he has said and done in his first week in office:

• A blanket immigration ban and torture are illegal, unjust, inhumane, and unconstitutional.
• Unilaterally undoing the Affordable Care Act without a viable plan to replace it immediately will do so much more harm than good for over 20 million citizens.
• Defunding Planned Parenthood will not only cause thousands of scared women to revert back to potentially deadly back-alley coat hanger abortions (hyperbolic, perhaps, but not out of the realm of possibility), but deny so many people basic protective health care needs such as mammograms, birth control, and cancer screenings.
• Eliminating the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities will cause great harm to the fabric of our history and culture.

I could go on and on, but I won't tonight because you have undoubtedly heard it all before, and if you're generally against us, you don't care.  I give you leave to prove that statement incorrect.  In the meantime, stop attempting to dismiss and demean us; it ain't gonna work.  Our voices will be heard.
