The first line of the First Amendment reads:
"CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION". You have the right believe what you want. You have no right to force people to believe what you want.
My entire life, I've tried to remain optimistic that there are other people who care about others. That I'm not the only one that was raised with a sense of empathy and compassion for those that are different than me. But this is so disheartening to see.
Waking up to a similar sadness I had in 2016.
After Election night when I lived in Texas I was literally too anxious to step outside my door because I realized for the first time what kind of country I was living in.
I was given this harsh confirmation that the people in this country will gladly vote into power a man that openly spews and empowers hate.
Hate towards the color of my skin. Hate towards my family. Hate towards those I love. Hate towards my neighbors.
And the people in this country, the people outside my door, willingly voted him into power. Nothing that was said or done swayed them away from that decision.
And now we're here all over again.
Seeing willful ignorance and apathy towards who you are as a human highlighted in red on a map is just heartbreaking. It's sobering to the society we live in and have created.
Anyways I try to keep my social media pretty lighthearted so this is the only bummer post I'll make about the whole thing. This just sucks.

Scored some good FBMP deals recently on Z34 headers and test pipes. It's a bit out of the timeline for this build, but progress is progress. I underestimated how much work an engine swap is, especially for one guy and on a swap that's never been done before.
