Look at the rallies, the crowds erupting in delight at mocking the disabled, the Gold Star family, the assault victim. The ecstatic reception to McConnell’s breaking norms, rushing through unwritten and unvetted bills.
1/
Look at the flattery of White Supremacy and its nauseating adherents. Look at the dismissal of daily glaring lies, both petty and outrageous, from the WH on down through the entire party apparatus. Look at the young children locked up alone in increasing numbers,
2/
rendered inhuman by more craven lies, cheered on by that same red-hatted crowd. Look at it and don’t look away. Big smiles. Delight. Applause lines.

That crowd doesn’t care if they’re ripped off. They don’t care. They are in a Dionysian orgy of cruelty, 3/
luxuriating in it, empowered to do lose individuality and commit the most base wrong as a mass, and egged on to do much worse. And they consider those of us who know and hold basic decency, who know and hold kindness, who have morals, 4/
who believe in a nation of laws and fair play, who value honesty and measure in ourselves and our leaders and teach the same to our children, and who still believe in America, to be suckers.

5/
Upton Sinclair famously prophesied the arrival of American fascism wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross; 6/
unsaid was the rabid, gleeful mania of that same red-hatted crowd, with able assistance by its apologists and two-faced opportunists, to defile every moral triumph those two symbols represent.

VOTE. #WeDeserveBetter
