To MAGAs

 To MAGAs:

I see you. I see your asinine posts thanking your version of God that the convicted rapist/felon/con/grifter/reptile Donald J. Trump was elected. I see you thanking your plaster, hollow-eyed version of Baby Jesus. I see you in your delusion that he's going to Make America Great Again. I see you crowing about owning the libs.

Here's a message for you: Trump hates you. You think you've "owned the libs?" Trump owns YOU.

If you voted for Donald Trump, you share in every evil thing he stands for. You stand in the shadow of a convicted rapist, a felon, a con who laughs about what a bunch of idiots you are. You think Trump the God will protect you when your Medicare is slashed, when your Social Security dwindles to nothing, when the price of food skyrockets because there's no one to harvest it. You're not exempt. You'll suffer like the rest of us. And Trump and his toadies won't care, because they care nothing for you.

Btw: there are some branches of theology that theorize Jesus Christ was disabled. There are some texts that describe him as crippled, bald, short (under five feet tall), but with a compelling gaze. You would spit on a person like this: an unattractive man with disabilites, with brown skin, someone who was a refugee from violence. You would put him in a detention camp, guaranteed. 

As for the rest of us: I don't know the answers, yet. Maybe there are no answers. But we're good at gathering strength when the chips are down. 

For as long as I have the right to free speech, I will use it. I hope my fellow writers do, too. Yes, we're scared: so is every writer who lives under oppression. But we rise, as we have, and as we must.
