5. You reap what you sow

I think it's a good thing for us. I think it's cleansing. These dark things need to be drug out in the open. The Republicans dogwhistle bigotry is worse.
When Obama got elected , I thought that it was good for the bigots to get it out of the closet. Air it out. Same here. People need to get it off their chest. They don't know how they really feel many are confused. Many lean one way or another. We need to talk about it. Even if it's the bad guy who makes us talk about it , let's talk about it.
Let's get it all out. The truth is always very obvious when you remove the smokey veneer of mystery.
Never mind that I am of the opinion that the Donald is playing political kabuky and the Republicans deserve to have their party crashed , burned and paved over Lord knows they deserve it. And if that's what the Don's up to then that's great.
If you did not see Hitler in the Shrub and Dick Rummsy and Wolfowitz then you missed the show.

I'll leave it there.
