Trump now has a website entitled "Free Trump2024".

That sure sounds confident, doesn't it?

March 13, 2023

Granular detail definitely has its place, but not when it replaces the overall picture; the "view

from 30,000 feet".

No one who considers the "big picture" could vote FOR Trump and AGAINST any Democrat. And, to be clear, staying home on er election day IS "voting for Trump".

If you want to know just how intellectually deficient the Trump campaign considers his base,

consider their last three "platforms".

In contrast to the Democrats' multi-page statement of principles and goals in each election year:

---In 2016, the Republican platform was "LOCK HER UP!" and "MAGA!"

---In 2020, it was "Keep America Great!" and "Whatever Mr. Trump says!"

---For 2024, it will be "The streets will run red with blood if I am prosecuted and ANOTHER election is stolen!"

"It's going to be wild! BE THERE!"

I understand that the new "MAGAteer" caps sold at Disneyworld won't stay on your head

because there's nothing between the ears.

This morning I heard the term "conservative intellectual" used on TV.

Isn't that sort of one o' them "oxymoron" thingies?

Maybe I'm just having a bad day. Maybe the seven years af daily drip, drip, drip of putrid

narcissism and evil have finally entirely eroded away all of the "nice" I ever possessed. For whatever reason, I cannot any longer in good conscience give any Republican who did not strongly and clearly renounce Trump after the January 6, 2021 insurrection ANY "benefit of the doubt". NONE!

These are not "decent people". They are spineless anti-American cowards who are shamelessly willing to applaud anything Trump spews. They are monster enablers.

I don't like any of them and I don't want any contact or association with them. I will not "work with" any and I will no longer even try to mask my contempt for them. They get in my face at their peril.

Some who disagree will say that "it may take years", but eventually we'll " move on"; "forgive and forget".

I will not live so long!

The "FloriMAGAcangelicals" must be REALLY upset!

They prayed for a "Red Wave" to "save the nation", but they got a "Red Tide" that's stinking up their beaches!

Would it be possible for us to just decide that each individual's belief about the existence or

nonexistence of a God or Supreme Being or Spirit---or whatever---be entirely that person's concern and NO ONE would ever try to impose the lifestyle required by their belief on anyone else?

Or, would that be me imposing my belief in TOLERANCE on the intolerant?
