Why Twitter Is Talking About Steve Bannon With the Hashtag #StopPresidentBannon

He really said this? How did this guy get in such a powerful position? That is truly scary. I mean, i think we all have this fantasy with bringing the government and starting a new like our founding fathers did a long time ago. But that would mean war, and war is terrible. War has always been terrible, but with the weapons we have now, the amount of suffering we can inflict on each other is always unimaginable without seeing it first hand.

Its why the US's hesitancy to allow refugee is so disheartening to me. They have been living in an actual hell, with enemies all around them, barrels falling from the sky full of rusty nails and scrap metal, that explodes on impact sending shrapnel flying indiscriminately into crowds of people, shredding them like a lawnmower does to grass. Groups of blood thirty men who could show up at any moment to steal their daughters and wives, or force them to convert, or cut their heads off with dull blades.

No food, no water, no services, no education, no hope. Then the one country, who everyone knows as the land of the free and the home of the brave, the country founded by hopeful immigrants, who originally came here escaping wars so similar to the one they are living in, wont let them in, and openly hates them. And we elect a man who openly calls them terrorist, the exact people they hope to escape, saying that we should carpet bomb the city they live in. I image its like being trapped in a hole covered by brush, but you can see the sunlight in one spot, and your hope is to climb to that light, and then one day a leaf fall over it leaving you in darkness.
