Right now there are several links on the front page of this website talking about how this person or that person just dismantled or (my personal favorite) eviscerated Donald Trump over some such terrible thing he said or did.
And, I will admit, they are usually very entertaining stories to read.
But, now I’m done with all that.
Because no one cares. Sure, we care. As Faith No More said, “We care a lot.” But, do you honestly think your conservative neighbor, or friend, or family member cares? Do you think that these takedowns are going to persuade one of them to change their vote on Election Day?
I don’t. I have “Faith No More” in my conservative neighbors, friends, and family members. Trump has said and done plenty of things that would be terminal to a normal person’s campaign in a normal election season.
And the warning lights have been lit up by retired generals, respected scientists, his own ghostwriter. They all say, “Do not trust Trump.”
And yet, Trump is gaining ground because Republican voters, like our neighbors and friends, are coming around to Trump.
No matter what he says and does, regardless of how repugnant, they are holding their noses and voting for a racist, misogynistic liar.
No amount of “eviscerating”, no number of links is going to change that.
Right now, this is the most important link anyone who cares about the future of our nation can visit.
Get out and vote.
Don’t wait for election day when you’ll be standing for hours in long lines (which is what Republicans want). Find out when early voting starts in your state and go vote then.
Vote early, while the fire inside you is burning hot.
We are all that stands between the future of our country and the edge of the cliff.
