MAGAT Shoe Cartoon [View all]

It has been a rough few days. Triggered into jumping when I heard certain sounds, triggered into ducking when an adult near me stood up quickly. And more, much more. Sometimes PTSD lays low for a bit, then suddenly roars up to shock you back to reality.

I’m a 78 year old woman who recently thought about an old shoe cartoon I didn’t even know I remembered. It was a giant shoe worn by a giant person who roamed through a tiny neighborhood squashing things: bugs, daisies, animals, people. Thankfully the “good guys” won, which did nothing to prepare me for real life. I realized I didn’t even need a bridge to get from that cartoon to a MAGAT cult rally led by someone who also enjoys squashing things.That’s why Leader Trump has an odd way of standing. He has done a lot of squashing which has done a lot of sticking. Heed the warning….Even if you are a U.S. soldier who has been a prisoner of war, you’re going under that shoe. A child ripped from a father’s arms at the border? Under you go. Wheelchair user? Get under there. Woman dying because of a pregnancy? Especially you. Under you go. Cartoons are supposed to make people laugh….just like Donald Trump’s cruelty. It works on the MAGATS. They’ll laugh at anything, even mocking a disabled journalist or a rape victim. Cruelty gets big chuckles in Trump World.

What do MAGATS see in this POS? Some hero they have there. Throws paper towel rolls at hurricane victims. Says he’d like to date his own daughter. Says he’s a star so he can grab women by the pussy. Says he doesn’t like U.S. military members who were POWs because they were captured. Big 5-deferment hero, he was. Expert on fighting wars and not getting captured.

The “family values” folks love him. Why? How many photographs have you seen of him with his grandchildren? He leaves his wife several feet behind, just like he did when he walked past Queen Elizabeth. He wants to be The Featured One. Nobody else matters. Nobody. He even holds a borrowed Bible upside down. God’s chosen one, for absolute certain. Just ask the Speaker of the House.

Tomorrow is a new day and I’m not going to duck. If I happen to see a photograph or video of Donald MAGAT Trump, I’m going to use my willpower to make him shrink to a teeny, little speck….then go find my old hard-toe boots.
