Opinion: Gassing Moms And Vets Does Not Win Elections
snip//
Instead of owning liberals, Trumps base owns him a man whose presidency is such a colossal failure that hes reduced to bragging about how well he did on a dementia screening test.
My conscience is clean and even if I should catch the virus tomorrow, Ill know I lived my best life.
Can his base say the same?
So here we are, Trump is gassing moms to scare a fictional group of suburban housewives into voting for him.
Hes banking on women being okay with moms being gassed if it means keeping their neighborhoods and property values lily white. Thats why aside from gassing women peacefully protesting, Trump decided to get rid of a fair housing rule he never really liked since the Nixon administration sued him over his racist housing policies.
And Trump is showing his love for vets by assaulting them, breaking bones and making bruises, while calling them anarchists. Everyone knows thats a sure-fire way to win votes.
While we are in our darkest moment, my faith remains in the people that I know are more interested in doing the right thing for all of American. Its about crawling out of this deep hole that Trump made and seeing the sunlight of America again after four years in the darkness of Magastan.

Great PR for the prestigious US Marshals

although of course most on "our side" hope it is, while the "other side" will be sure it's not.

block the federal agents and we win if they're attacked.
My admiration for those who put both of these responses to attempted authoritarian oppression together is enormous. SO well done!

gassing moms + gassing vets + killing kids by sending them to schools!
