text: We have seen this before, stop normalizing. That's my diversity.
  You had a child. George W. Bush said we had to invade Iraq or else there would be atomic war. Your child volunteered, went, and died in the dust. You then found out the lies and the corruption that allowed the Republicans to loot the treasure at the expense of your lovely child. You wondered why no one fought to stop the war.
  We see another Republican in office, there by the skin of the electoral college. He is ignoring intelligence briefings and rattling sabres. You have a neighbor with a child of military age. You tell him to be skeptical, very skeptical, and not to allow his child to go to Trump's war in...(Iran, Korea, wherever).
  The lives of the poor are as nothing to the posturing politicians who love war and the war industry.
  I mourn for my country, taken over by a Putin stooge.
  I mourn for the coming war dead, as America is stampeded into another war by all those Marine generals.
