Being Conservative

I'M WILLING To ACCEPT THE BALLROOM, with conditions. Not on the White House lawn. Maybe down the street a bit, on Pennsylvania Ave. Leave the White House lawn the way it is, but replace the Rose Garden with the Rose Garden, put it back the way it was. No stone or concrete patio. All future additions must conform and compliment those already there, let's say. And this big new wing Trump is building, stop it. No White House expansion, I dare say, most Americans say. What we're going to do, what Trump and his cult are going to do, is overbuild. We do not want to reamke Washington or Mt. Rushmmore in the image of Trump, permanently, for futue generations to ridicule. So let's put the proposed new White HOuse wing and the ball room and the Arch de la Trump on hold, and give it all due consideration. And, above all, if an when we the people, acting through our federal government, choose to build some sort of arch, fine; but make damned sure it has nothing to do with Trump, with mentioning him or honoring hime, and instead, make it a tribute to the common man, for instance, a granite "fanfare for the common man". Arron Copeland, baby. Hell, let the people weigh in! What's wrong with a little patience, due deliberation, democracy, and due process? We don't want Trump, of all people, making these decisions alone, or with his inner circle. We want all this to be an expression of the will of the people, American style. Lettuce await the results of the many national, scientifically accurate polls and surveys which can and probably will inform us of the popular will. We could have much more democracy in this counrty than we do. We could vote on many of the things we leave to teh government to decie. Our democarcy has, arguably, become a bit too representative, and too little direct. At the ballot box in this November's midterms, why not vote on whether to keep the White HOuse the same, or to allow big changes and additions to be made to it? I've jsut go to believe that a majority of the American people do not want any changes to the White House. I sure as hell don't. Especially some huge gawdy fun house next door, dwarfing and dominating the White House, replacing lovely green lawns, trees, and gardens. Let trump and hsi party buddies have their fun in Vegas, Atlantic City, Mara Lago, or Epstein's place, their usual haunts. If its beyond repair, tear it down, and rebuild it precisely the way it was, as closely as possible. Hell, 3D print the damned thing, build it out of plastic! (joke). Let's take the conservative approach; change as little as possible, and preferably, nothing. The White House (andmaybe the capital, among other buildings), is perfect the way it is, correct, America? What we need now is change to our political and electoral system. We need fair and reasonable Congressional voting districts, not gerrymandered by anybody, determined by independent, impartial groups and committees, with public approval. Whether its one party, two, or one trillion poltical parties trying to cheat and rig elections, we must support and expand democracy instead of destroying it, by implementing fair voting districts, easy, accessible voting, and by making it easeir, not harder, to vote. Democrats must fight for easy voting and mass voting, to replace our oligarchial Republican plutocracy with government by the people, of the people, and, well..you know the rest. And as for the ballroom, if they build the damned thing, I think I and everybody else should have access to it, not just the billionaires.
