While I do not use this kind of profanity in my own writings, I have chosen to publish this rant in its entirety because it deserves to be published in its entirety. It is not my work, and not my writing but I agree with everything he says.
BAX BAXTER
This commentary has been provided in its entirety by Local artist and activist Steven Baxter 
“In the last eight months i have been to shithole towns in New Mexico, Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas, Ohio, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas. (actually my time in Nashville was amazing, it’s not a shithole town), but the fact is that with the exception of New Jersey, which voted 55% to 41% for Hillary, every fucking place I have been to has overwhelming voted for Trump.
I left OC eight months ago. I left my amazing community of educators, artists, musicians, actors and activist. You guys are my friends, you are all I know, and I miss the shit out of you. But I made a choice to leave, and now you have been replaced by tradesmen, farmers, farm workers, homeless vets, homeless whatever, the poor, the unemployed, the exploited, and the under employed, and I hate to say this, but most of them voted for Trump or or they did not vote at all. I don’t hate to say this: I have fallen in love with almost all of them. They are good people. They are just gullible good people and they buy into the general viewpoint of those who feel fucked over and ignored, which is: “Trump is not a regular politician, he may be rough around the edges, but he says the shit no one else will dare say”. Well, maybe liberals need to say some fucking shit no politician would dare say, but we all kind of know that will never happen. We need to call out the corrupt bullshit in our own party. These good people who voted for trump (not including the racist cunts who also voted for Trump) are the result of a shite educational system (a big part of why our educational system is shite, is because the teacher association will protect the worst among them to save themselves. I am way the fuck left of center, but that does not mean I approve of what the teachers union does. You can all get fucked. When you protect the worst among you just so you can ensure that you get that 3% cost of living raise, you are no better than a dirty cop and you are certainly not thinking about the welfare of children … and fuck all Democrats who don’t have the balls to say that, and that is exactly every fucking Democrat who holds office today. Not one of them has ever spoken out about how fucked up the public employees unions are. So fuck all of them in the face.
There is a part of me that wants to say that I don’t give a fuck if a Republican or Democrat wins an election, because both are so corrupt and useless, but the more rational part of me must acknowledge that there is a difference. Liberals are lazy fucking, arrogant, cowards but at least we do not nominate a known rapist. Well done liberals. That is really all you can say for yourself. You don’t vote for a known rapist.
We all must know by now that Trump is bat shit crazy, easily diagnosed as narcissist (the most annoying of all mental illnesses), stupid as fuck (I would bet my life on my ability to win a game of chess, trivial pursuits, or the ever popular SAT version of Chutes and Ladders against that orange muppet) as well as him clearly being a spoiled, privileged, racist, opportunist cunt/dimwit. So, I do actually care about who fucking wins even if my candidate is a coward.
So my liberal friends … let me ask you: what the fuck are you going to do differently in the next three fucking years until the next election? I may actually want to return to the U.S. one day, so get your fucking shit together. If you hate Trump, and the only opposition to Trump you can make claim to, is that you voted last year and now you try to stay busy reposting a bunch of unvetted anti Trump shit on Facebook, you are in fact the reason Trump won. If your contribution to social media is that you only yell at people who voted for Trump, and only hang around people who voted for a Democrat, you are in fact the reason Trump won. Regular folk know you think of them as assholes, so why the fuck would they ever listen to your trite bullshit about inclusion. Please do something real for fucks sake. Take a risk, piss the wrong people off and let those who are suffering know that you will fight for them. Stop preaching to your own little hand picked social media fuckwittwitter choir, hoping for at least a dozen “likes” on every fucking meaningless liberal post you make on Facebook. There is far more important shit to tackle than your go to “we are better than them validation”.
Example: Cops are fucking killing unarmed brown men in your fucking town and they have been killing unarmed brown men since they day there were cops in your town. (there is one cop in Anaheim who has now shot three Hispanic men, Killing two of them, and he still has a fucking job). Why the fuck does that not seem to matter to most of you? It’s your fucking back yard. Please stand up for the families of these victims. The homeless, your fucking homeless, are ignored 70% of the time and treated like criminals the other 30% of the time. They are literally tortured by the police and municipal policies which exist only so we can push them into another community. We Liberals in fact give the police the best oily, guilt free, edging hand jobs north of Bangkok. Our rent boy attitude towards the police and fire association rises to the level of embarrassment. Please reflect upon all the times you have utter the words, “not all cops are bad” then ask yourself why you have never felt compelled to say “not all cobblers are bad”, “not all doctors are bad”, “not all hairdressers are bad”? The reason you feel compelled to utter those words is because, unlike every other profession, where you don’t need to make excuses for the members of that profession, the police have zero accountability, and without accountability every fucking one of those cunts becomes bad. it may make you feel better to think that there are a few of them out there that are not assholes, but the fact is they are all assholes. Not one of the 147 cops, who held a job in Fullerton on the day that Kelly Thomas was murdered, came forward to testify against those who murdered Kelly. Not fucking one.
Fact: Every fucking Democrat ever elected in Fullerton (The Silva’s, Jan Flory, Molly whatever, Chaffee .. even Josh Newman, whom I actually like) has been too cowardly to take on the Police Unions. Why the fuck is that? Some of them are my friends, but why do I need to turn to Republicans when I need help form officials to call out the police? Answer: Our elected liberals are cowards. For some reason having empathy towards the disenfranchised seems to also castrate people (if you think that sounds masochistic I don’t give a fuck). If Democrats actually had the balls to address issues like police violence, more than 35% of black and Hispanic registered voters might actually fucking show up to vote. Reflect upon how many Anglo OC liberals have ran for office, and at one of their campaign kick of meetings discussed their “get out the Hispanic vote strategy”. I’ve been there. Now reflect upon how many of them were actually successful. People are not as stupid, and they do not like being pandered to. If certain voter demographics don’t know who the fuck you are, it’s because you never wanted to know who the fuck they where, until you ran for office. So please, dig deep and try to start giving a fuck. Then 10 years after you give a fuck run for office, and no sooner.
Just because someone is a liberal, does not make them good and just because someone voted for Trump, does not make them bad. When we have science, logic, and righteousness on our side, and we still manage to alienate 1/2 of our citizens with our arrogance and refusal to call out our own corruption, we are to fucking blame. We need to do a better job of getting our message out and that means we actually need to come up with a fucking message.
(When I ramble on so long I realize that most of you can’t be arsed to read my shit, but so it goes. It was a nice cathartic experience and wanted to get this out there while I was still on American soil)”

With the exception of corrupt Democratic politicians (by the way there are plenty of corrupt Republican politicians and all you have to do is look locally in Fullerton and know that is the truth), I do not believe the average liberal is a bad or evil person. On the contrary, most take the same facts I do and come to an entirely different position on many topics. It is called freedom of thought and I would die defending that thought to be allowed to be freely expressed anywhere.
So why do leftist campuses have a safe zone so the far left students will not be bothered by a different opinion coming from someone who may be of all things an Independent, Republican or dare I say the word, Conservative? And yet those same campuses setting up these so-called “Safe Zones” say they are for diversity. Well that diversity obviously does not include a diversity of thought and ideas.
The left politicians have been demonizing the right for decades. They say Conservatives are against clean water, clean air and we hate the environment. We are obviously according to them all racists, homophobes and one half of us i.e. the male variety, are all male chauvenists.
Why is it that although I strongly disagree with much of the ideology of the left, I still think by far most are decent human beings. A few may not be decent Americans, but that conclusion by me will only be made on a case by case basis, based on my specific knowledge of that specific individual.
For the last time I checked although very intuitive, I am not a mind reader and can’t from afar determine all leftist’s hearts.
So I will continue to write articles about various local politicians and about local issues, using facts, evidence and my understanding about how to try to make this country better for everyone. For my goal is to be inclusive and to strive for an equal opportunity for every citizen in America to both succeed and lead a happy, fulfilled life. We know there are many Americans who are not sharing the American dream…not even close. One group are those that are drug addicted.
I watch two programs produced in 2016 on PBS’es Frontline. One was about the abuse and addictive qualities of certain prescription drugs and the other was about the havoc caused by hard illegal drug addiction and how the two are very much connected. The programs followed a half dozen or so people with their addictions and how those addictions have completely taken over their lives. It looked into how not treating addicts as criminals has worked out and although the program basic position that things such as Drug Court where instead of prison you have the option to go into a mandatory drug program, the results were very disheartening to say the least.
We need to continue to think about solutions for the drug addicts, the homeless, the disenfranchised and the abused children, etc.
We need all Americans to put our collective heads and hearts together and work for a better America for everyone. No citizen should be satisfied when any group of people are suffering in the greatest and richest county in the world.
I for one think both left, right and center people can and must come together to figure out solutions to our problems.
The fact that we have not come up with all the answers to our problems should not be a reason for us to ever give up trying until we succeed.
“As Bax said, if you are a public employees union and you are for protecting bad…cops, teachers, social workers, etc. you are not for making this a better planet. People in power who go with selfishness over the greater good will always be a detriment to our society succeeding.
By the way, I am one of Baxter’s friends and I hope he comes back to Fullerton because he makes this place better!

Barry you make some excellent points as usual. I often wonder how people on the dais can sleep at night with all this coverage. You and Joe are a great team. Keep exposing all of this. The damage you two are inflicting is cumulative and eventually, as you put it, the chickens will come home to roost.
The hope that you have for the left, right and the center people to somehow come together is fleeting. It is not possible when the public sector unions continue to be the reasons these three groups cannot coalesce into something bigger than themselves.
Until union power is vanquished, we all will languish.
