found this takedown of Trump on the internet

[RussBLib]

Seth Andrews, noted atheist, shared this from another netizen, William Tazewell Flowers. The author of the piece, one "Advocatus Peregrini" is likely a nom de plume. Thought it was worth sharing here.



“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle, violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work, grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace, treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy.

That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame.

No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong.

Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”

~ Advocatus Peregrini

1. Perfect

I cannot imagine for one minute what exists within that bloated disgusting man.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

2. *yoink*

Outstanding description of this moral black-hole we have to contend with.

[MyOwnPeace]

3. Yeah, I'd say he pretty much 'NAILED IT!"

And the 'drawing' - wait until the 'mug shot' next week!!!!!!

[Atticus]

5. Thank you. So accurate and well-written. nt

[malaise]

6. Perfect - the Slobfather in a nutshell

Should have 500 recs

[sakabatou]

7. Seth Andrews is one of my favorite authors and podcasters.

[blue neen]

8. I would love to be able to give credit to the actual author of the above statement.

It's a perfect, astounding description of the soulless body of Donald J. Trump.

[dlk]

9. "He is a mirror..."

This is exactly who they are.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

20. The mirror reflects on a third of Americans...is the very sad part.

[dlk]

38. Sad indeed

[Faux pas]

10. Kickin'

[Martin68]

11. This may be the definitive description of Trump.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. Best ever Martin

One other person I know described Trump as the baby in the bath water who takes a shit, then proceeds to take it and wipe it all over himself, the walls, and everything else around him.........

[Ligyron]

41. Yeesh, that sounded even worse the second time.

[Martin68]

51. Trump would do that if he thought he'd get attention - and if it would offend Never-Trumpers.

[usaf-vet]

36. Perfect likeness at the end of his first month in federal prison.

[erronis]

12. One feels sullied just by looking at him. Both the caricature and the unfortunate reality.

The words from Advocatus Peregrini perfectly state how I feel about this type of person.

There are more of these types in the "stable", obviously.

[Hekate]

13. Delicious piece of writing

[malaise]

46. This is a perfect drawing of this monster

[dmr]

14. WOW! So perfectly described.

The drawing is almost as ugly and evil as TFG himself! Love his hair, lol!

I'm glad you posted this.

[Leith]

15. That was powerful

Prose that reads like poetry, describing a horrific person with bloody accuracy.

[Prairie_Seagull]

16. The pencil drawing is perfectly evoked by the text. IMO

Can it be a masterpiece if the subject is a graceless thug. Does not sound right to put those two things in the same sentence.

[dalton99a]

17. Kick

[keithbvadu2]

18. I had to look up this Advocatus Peregrini.

Probably a cousin to Bernardo Guardi, movie Cassanova.

[louis-t]

19. I am SO stealing this.

[BComplex]

21. This is the best I've seen since Trump was born.

Perfectly said.

[ShazzieB]

22. Yikes, that drawing is creepy!

Extremely well rendered, scary to look at. It's the Trumpian version of the picture of Dorian Gray!

[Joinfortmill]

23. "Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse." Chilling.

[JudyM]

28. Exactly how that line felt to me.

May just be a stark truth that, out of my general compassion for humanity and our evolved ignorance, I have been reluctant to accept in such a wholesale-population way. Sooo chilling.

[CatWoman]

24. K; R

[Cha]

25. The Anti-Christ Oozed UP

from Hell

TY

[Blue Owl]

29. Depraved Donny is about as shitty of a human being as they come

Cowardly, egomaniacal, cruel... the lists of negative traits could fill volumes...

[ProudProgressiveNow]

30. KR NT

[judesedit]

31. Wowee.On the nose

[TeamProg]

32. K&R

[central scrutinizer]

33. Shakespearean in its eloquence

Well done!

[BigmanPigman]

34. Looks like The Picture of Dorian Gray

[BunnyMcGee]

35. This whole piece

right on the mark

[KY_EnviroGuy]

37. It's safe to assume this highly accurate diatribe will not be found in Florida school history books.

...............

Thanks for posting, RussBLib. Bookmarked and saved as good ammo......

[burrowowl]

39. K&R!!!

[gordianot]

40. Donald Trump is a living breathing demon.

Proof positive evil exists on this planet.

[SouthernDem4ever]

42. describes trumpers to a T

When I first heard the word deplorables to describe them, I didn't know how accurately that term was used.

[Wounded Bear]

43. K & R...for truth...nt

[Farmer-Rick]

44. There are a few notorious people in history who I think perfectly represent

The ugliness of their times. Like Henry VIII, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette representing feudalism; Hitler and Mussolini representing facism.

Trump is no leader but he is an agitator and manipulator. And also a perfect representation of out-of-control, end stage capitalism.

[malaise]

45. Kick because I can

😀

[luvallpeeps]

47. Perfect n/t

[pandr32]

48. Perfection in descriptive word and drawing.

[liberalla]
