So anyone who has actually read all of these blogs (You know who you
are and seriously, get professional help. Reading this sort of thing
is not good for you.) knows that I don't like Trump. Of course, they
also know I didn't like Obama, Bush Jr. and Clinton. Now I did have
a soft spot in my heart (head) for Bush Sr. and I was particularly
fond of Reagan. Sure he kind of sucked but at least he had the
excuse of Alzheimer which made him our first verifiable mentally ill
POTUS. So, yeah, me and politicians are like oil and a match,
During Obama's reign, I was disgusted by the hatred and vitriol
spewed forth by Conservatives. No matter how much I disapproved of
his actions and policies, the images of him being hung and burned in
effigy really chaffed my garters. I railed against it over and over
again as Racists compared his wife to an ape and his children to
chimps. Liberals proudly proclaimed that they would never do such
things no matter how bad a Republican POTUS might be. Well Sherman,
set the not so way forward machine to the current day and lets see
how that worked out.
Let me preface the rest of this rant with this. I despise Donald
Trump. I feel his hatred and bullying has made America the
laughingstock of the world. I feel his policies have done more damge
to America than the Great Recession. After running on the usual
platform of “fiscal responsibility” and ranting against Obama
adding trillions to the debt, he has added three trillion dollars to
the debt and doubled the deficit in less than three years. So yeah,
I don't like Hair Furrer all that much. Okay, now that we have that
out of the way, onward and downward!
My Daddy always said that respect is given, not earned. Of course he
also said that possum boiled in moonshine tasted good so we prolly
shouldn't put too much faith in what he said. But “respect”
means more to me than treating others with respect. Having respect
means not lowering yourself to the same level as all of the idiots
around you. Sure, Trump is an idiot. Yes, he is a bully and God
knows he's incompetent, but acting like a 5 year old on the
playground makes you look just as bad.
Fer example, Trump and the 3rd Lady went to a baseball
game the other night and the crowds immediately launched into
Donnie's favorite chant and yelled, “LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!”
(Side type note here, why did the Trumps go to a ball game and not
take their kid? I mean...baseball....kids...? Not a dig against
Trump, just curious.) See whereas I do view the whole scene as sort
of karmic payback for all the times he has inflamed his drones with
similar chants and seeing it happen on national TV on front of
millions of viewers was mildly amusing, it still boils down to
stooping to his level.
I guess what it boils down to is this. If you can't argue against a
person without resorting to grade school insults and playground
antics, then you are no better than the people you rail against.
Conservatives did it during Obama and now Liberals are doing the same
thing under Trump. When I ranted against Obama, I commented on his
extending of Bush era wire tapping and his nearly doubling of the
drone and missile strikes Bush started that led to 1000s of civilians
murdered in the ME. Now I rant against Trump's raiding of military
funds to “build” a useless border wall and the fact that he is
well on his way to beating Obama's debt increases. (Okay okay, I do
occasionally tate on his really bad wig and his love of greasy fast
food, but only on days ending in Y.) To make a long story short (TOO
LATE!) I try to make my jibes and rants based off actual things he
has done wrong.
When you criticize someone, always try and view how your words and
critique will be seen by those who don't necessarily agree with your
POV. Playing to your normal audience is easy, but trying to speak to
everyone is hard. But hey, that is just my NSHO.
End of Rant
