Dear Trump Supporters

-

 Dear Trump supporters,

You're right, I am biased. I have news for you: you are too. Everyone has biases, as bias is an inevitable component of human cognition. The difference between you and me, though, is that I can be convinced and you can't. It can be tough for me to combat my bias and admit I'm wrong, but given enough evidence, I can -- indeed, I have changed my mind plenty of times in my life. You, on the other hand, won't accept any evidence at all, or any court decisions, or any media -- including conservative media, or anything at all that is in any way opposed to your Dear Leader, your ideology, and your goal of an autocratic takeover. Trump could personally stab your family to death in front of your face and you would still support him. You would say the culprit was a Democrat in disguise. If DNA evidence proved it was Trump, you would insist that it's fake news and a clear left wing conspiracy. If multiple eye witnesses -- even conservatives -- testified that they personally accompanied Trump on his trip from the White House to the site of your family's demise, you would declare them liars and traitors in bed with the left wing. There is absolutely nothing that could diminish your support for your Dear Leader and your budding dictatorship. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Nulla. Thank you, and have a great day.

Trump Supporters Want a Dictatorship

-
I used to think that Trump supporters were wrong. Only in the past year have I come to the realization that they're not wrong, they're lying. They're gaslighting, just as their leader does, and for the same reason: they want the dictatorship as well. They've been fighting for this from day 1 of the campaign, and it isn't stopping now.  Before I delve further into this, I should make clear that, in my rational brain, I know that it is in fact a small minority of Trump voters who would actually want a dictatorship. Most had various reasons, I'm sure, to vote for him, but wouldn't support a literal autocratic takeover as it was happening. Having said that, I'm angry right now, and I'm going to refer to "Trump supporters" even though I really mean that small contingent of the staunchest die-hards. Having gotten that out of the way, Trump supporters are fighting for a dictatorship. They don't believe these ridiculous allegations of mass vote...

I Did Not See the Nazi

  I Did Not See the Nazi     I did not see the Nazi   For he was riding undercover   Through farms and  blocks  and cities   With neighbors,  friends , and lovers     I did not see the Nazi   Though he was hiding in plain sight   Wandering like a zombie   With  an old, Prussian blight     I did not see the Nazi   Though he was screaming with all his might   For  guns and God and glory   For  all the  shade s  of  white     I did not see the Nazi   When his eyes would betray his rage   About some Semitic conspiracy   And complicity on a global stage     I did not see the Nazi   When he was foaming at the mouth   With fiery ,  fascist fury    About his scapegoats farther south     I did not see the Nazi   When he  shrieked about  something east   Their guns, their gods, their g...

Thoughts and Prayers for Trump

-
My thoughts and prayers are with Donald Trump in these difficult times. It is truly heartbreaking that he is yet another victim of his president's dreadful response to the pandemic. We should all pray for him. Lord, hear my prayer: May Trump be treated with the very compassion with which he himself has long treated others. May he receive the same quality of health care to which he himself believes all Americans should be entitled. May he experience all the empathy he himself has long felt for the people of our nation. Amen! Am I doing "good person" right? I feel like I'm nailing this.
