Bulletproof

Is it because he’s a man?

Is it because he’s rich?

Is it because he’s “white”?

He can’t spew enough racist remarks to be condemned as a racist.

He can’t break enough laws or commit enough crimes to be seen as a criminal.

He can’t leverage public office for personal gain blatantly enough to be seen as grasping and venal.

He can’t make enough stupid claims or remarks to be considered an ill-informed oaf.

Evangelical Christians say he is doing “God’s work”, while he:

screws porn stars,
brags about groping women,
mocks disabled people on live TV, and
robs from charities…

If Barack Obama had done even one of the above, he would have been political toast, crucified, run out of office.

If this isn’t proof that the USA is still a profoundly racist country, that “white” male privilege is real, and that money buys power, we are beyond redemption.

*****

Let’s stop dancing to the tune called by propagandists, gaslighters, apologists, and billionaires.

Let’s call it as we see it.

Anyone who voted for this shrivelled husk of a human is either:

dumb as dishwater,
utterly brainwashed/propagandized,
filled with hate and intolerance,
consumed by self-interest and/or greed,
deeply ignorant/uneducated,
a religious nut-job, or
an out-and-out misogynist/racist/fascist.

There are no other reasons to put this man in a position of power.

None.

Stop pretending that “good people” might have chosen him for “the economy”.

If “the economy” comes before human decency, you cannot be considered “good “.

Period.
