Opposition Politics

While driving down a side street in the CV hills, I noticed a large banner hung out in front of a front porch stating:  “Biden S..ks”.   I thought how sad it is that conservative politics has sunken to such profane descriptions of opposition politicians.  There seems no real discussion of significant issues anymore, just debase the other with generalized statements.  That aside, I had to wonder if this homeowner’s only source of news comes from Fox.  Whether you agree with his policies or not, Biden remains a kind and concerned individual worthy of respect.  He has championed the working and middle class,  and more recently signed a bill that would help repair old infrastructure. Castro Valley has benefited from it as well with additional money for East Bay Parks fire protection, and repairing streets and overpasses.  The repair of Redwood Rd./Grove Way no doubt will be paid for by such funds.  He has continued to support democracy around the world, and is helping Ukraine remain free.  Donald Trump?  Well I think we all know where Ukraine would be right now, thanks to someone who refers to Putin as a “genius” for invading another country, and likely consulted with Putin about how to stage a coup.
