A lesson for the dumbest of the dumbasses...

Whenever you support someone who divides the people with his every utterance, there comes a time when your country can no longer carry the weight.

Dumbasses enjoy the "us" vs "them" speeches of wannabe dictators. They cheer when their political opponents are mocked and called names. Real dumbasses spread the lies and propaganda and salute their superior movement.

They do not think twice about the division created by their leaders. For every action, there is a like reaction. Eventually, there is a spontaneous combustion as the divide sparks violence and revolt.

Dumbasses thought our country was too strong to be affected by divisive forces, foreign or domestic. They had no idea how fragile their democracy was, nor how easy it is to destroy.

Only when it is too late do dumbasses realize that the only way we can survive is if we are united for a common purpose. Division is as old as the Bible itself, as old as Cain and Abel.

Another thing that is overlooked by those who cheer on the scapegoating and divisiveness--or try to ignore it--is that they don't realize that they could very possibly be next in line for persecution, etc.

This has been true historically because, even if you consider yourself to be a good and true x, when it gets down to domination and intimidation, you may either not be x enough or x is now the new scapegoat.

That's another reason to think twice before getting on the bandwagon.

First they came for the liberals.

Then they came for the evangelicals.

Then they came for the poor and elderly.

Then they came for everyone that was not on their team.
