Trash the Trump

                                                     
            

Our country has an unfortunate tendency to glorify criminals and crazy evil people.  The worst the crime, the more publicity.  The worst of the criminals disappear from the public eye when they die but others seem to pop up time and time again as long as they live (i.e., O.J. Simpson, Charles Manson).  They seem to generate as much interest as the Karhashian of your choice.   Then we have the weirdos who generate inordinate amounts of publicity by virtue of their weirdness, such as Caitlyn Jenner and Donald Trump. 

It really only concerns me when that individual potentially has some power.  We, the voting and Facebook reading public, feed this power every time we read, re-post or respond to a post.  Trump should remain a bad joke and nothing more.  Why can’t we realize that WE are the root of these looney tunes having whatever power they possess?  Think about it. 

Why comment and repeat every idiot racist thing Trump, Cruz, Huckabee and the entire car full of Republican clowns utters?  There are plenty of intelligent folks out there that we could be reading and quoting.  As I heard on NPR, Trump is the flavor of the month.  I prefer the flavors of Baskin-Robbins to the Republican version.  Take note that Democrats don’t afford the public the opportunity to bash people so regularly.  That is worth repeating.  Hillary and Bernie just aren’t that funny.  I for one am thankful for that.

Actually it’s not that funny when you think about it.  Accusing an entire category of people as being murdering rapist criminals is not really amusing.  Accusing our President of being a racist terrorist doesn’t produce a chuckle.  Yes, it’s ridiculous to think our President is planning a military takeover of Texas—but funny?  Not so much.

If we are going to respond to the political clowns it needs to be with serious discourse with people who are capable of understanding.  Let’s begin by taking ourselves seriously (and by ourselves I mean people who are grounded in reality) and proceeding with the confidence that we are the one to maintain the leadership of our nation.

I am hereby starting a movement to remove Donald Trump from our Facebook pages.  Will you join?
(and yes, I'm aware that by writing this I violated my own movement, but this is the last and with the ugliest caricature I could find!)
