You bought the "but her emails" garbage. You chanted "Benghazi" till our ears bled. You strapped a red hat on your head and clapped like trained seals at his rallies. Didn't matter what nonsense was falling from his fetid maw, you just felt special and part of something.
You cheered as he lied to your faces, cradling the words FAKE NEWS to your stained Fuck Your Feelings T like a baby. You joined in as he endangered journalists by repeatedly calling them "the enemy of the people." In truth, they have only ever been the enemy of the ones who lie. Hence, the birth of that baby, FAKE NEWS (code for Holy shit! They caught me again!).
You didn't "like" Hillary, for whatever bullshit reason you tried to cobble together that never made a moment's sense. You said a woman would be too emotional as president. Seriously, you loved that one. And now you prop up a terminal manchild with full Depends who Tweets like a mean girl who lost the lead in the school play.
You voted third party because you had your precious "convictions" that had zero to do with the life and well being of anyone else. You were selfish, self absorbed pricks who did not care one bit what Trump's ascendancy would mean to already marginalized groups.
You didn't vote at all. You know who you are. You sat it out instead of voting against racism, bigotry, hatred, and danger. And in not voting, you DID vote because you helped put into office racism, bigotry, hatred, and danger.
YOU. DID. THIS.
Every single mean, dullardly, careless, selfish, uninformed, misinformed, lazy citizen with a sewer instead of a soul did this to our country.
And each day since he was inaugurated, things have gotten worse and worse. Yet you still haven't cared.
Children stolen forever from their parents. Their only crime? Fleeing their own country for the safety of ours. You laughed. You blamed them. You could never find an ounce of sympathy in your squalid hearts; could never for a single second imagine what you would do for your child's well being. You only saw brown, so they deserved so much less than you would demand for yourselves.
For years, every single societal and legislative norm has been buttfucked by this administration of zealots and criminally ignorant grifters. But you cheered as none of it came close to your tiny oasis of MAGAtry.
Suddenly a pandemic began to rage in this country, taking lives regardless of political stripe. As of this afternoon, 106,921 men, women, and children have died from COVID-19. Because you enabled a disinterested, intellectually empty charlatan to sit on his ever widening ass, spending his days watching FOX and eating fast food. A toddler whose daily briefings had already been so dumbed down they made Highlights magazine look like Newsweek. Yet he ignored the warnings, played it all off, and now here we are - a pandemic still wiping out an average of 1,000 citizens a day.
YOU DID THIS.
And in the past week, as the decent people of this country have rallied together to finally stand in numbers to big to ignore; as the decent people hit a tipping point after watching a cop once again star in a snuff movie, taking George Floyd's life without care or remorse; after seeing peaceful protests continually disrupted by instigators and ratcheted up by cops firing rubber bullets and gas canisters into crowds, running vehicles into large groups of people; after watching journalists targeted while doing live broadcasts - you still cheered and jeered.
Even as your Coward In Chief hid in a bunker and turned the White House lights off like he was out of Kit Kats on Halloween - you defended him. His incendiary words, his threats on Twitter, the unhinged phone call with the nation's governors this morning.
YOU DID THIS.
And this afternoon as people assembled near the White House, again PEACEFULLY PROTESTING - video from all angles bear this out - your Maybelline wearing madman stood in the Rose Garden and dared to call himself an "ally of all peaceful protesters" while police outside, unprovoked, began tear gassing the crowd and firing at them with more rubber bullets.
Ally of peaceful protesters, my ass. Just two weeks ago when you petulant toddlers were shitting yourselves blind about Great Clips being closed and showing up at statehouses armed to the teeth, threatening the legislators within, your rotunda of a Rambo was encouraging you to "liberate" your states. Guns. That was your answer.
Explain to me how you showing up like you were ready to storm the buffet at Golden Corral storm the beaches at Normandy is supposed to be taken as peaceful protest, yet my son goes to a protest with no body armor, no weapon, just his heart, his body, his white privilege and stands in front to try to help shield black protesters and he is shot with rubber bullets and tear gassed?
HE DID NOTHING. He stood with no gun, no aggression, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot." And they shot.
Two weeks ago you were all about violating your states' shelter in place orders because anything less was "slavery." And now, anyone daring to come together to protest the grotesque inequity in justice in this country deserves to be shot down. YOU were slaves. These protesters are criminals? Jesus, you people are the least self aware creatures on the planet, I swear to Christ.
We now have curfews across this nation. Police in military gear, military ready to kill citizens for what? For invoking our right to assemble, our right to free speech. You know, the same shit you stood behind two weeks ago when it suited YOUR selfish purpose. News for you - these protests are not about selfish purpose. They are not about a bunch of spoiled low iQ-anoners rending their garments over haircuts and manicures. These protests are because there are two rules of law in this country. And it has to stop.
YOU DID THIS.
Every drop of blood that is spilled from this point on - YOU DID THIS. Every infringement on our Constitutional rights - YOU DID THIS. Invocation of the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy our military against us (US includes YOU) - YOU DID THIS.
After having the crowd gassed and shot at, he strolled across the street to a church for a photo op. He literally held up a Bible, upside down (I swear if there WAS truly a God, it would have burst into flames), as guns were at the ready nearby.
"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." - Sinclair Lewis
Well, it is here. This toxic landfill of a man who has never had any use for religion, the flag, or God outside a photo op or as a sordid form of courtship for the tapioca brained Christievangelicals - has finally and firmly pushed this country over the edge.
YOU DID THIS. You enabled, you coerced, you cheered, you encouraged him. This country, never perfect by any means, but always trying, has been profoundly changed by a spray tanned, pancake make up wearing, cotton candy haired, morbidly obese, morbidly obtuse reality show host. A draft dodger has militarized our streets and threatened every single citizen - yes, even you, you easily led fuckwits.
There will be blood. We have hit a point of no return here. This grand experiment called the United States of America has been raped by this serial sexual assaulter and left for dead. All the while you cheered.
It is going to get bad. Worse even than any of us who tried in vain to warn you thought. We knew. The sad thing is, I suspect many of you did, too, but it just felt so damned good at the time, didn't it? Waving your Confederate flags, "owning the libs," lashing out like you always wanted to.
Well, you reap what you sow. You have spent years helping sow division, hate, inequity. You have carelessly gone about helping spread coronavirus because it was a hoax and inconvenient. And you have emboldened a villain who never cared about anyone but himself. And what we reap now, will be reaped together. Your red hat won't save you. And your Mango Messiah will happily see you shot right between your stupid eyes to save himself from any accountability.
So fuck YOUR feelings. YOU DID THIS.
