Donald Trump says a lot of stupid shit. He also says a lot of mean shit. Well, in this case, the shit he said was both stupid and mean.

Former President Donald Trump told his supporters to attend Iowa caucuses even if it literally kills them.
During a Sunday speech in Iowa, Trump urged attendees to participate in a caucus for him on Monday.
"You can't sit home," the former president insisted. "If you're sick as a dog, you say, darling — even if you vote and then pass away, it's worth it. Remember, if you're sick, if you're just so sick, you can't, darling, I don't think...
"Get up," Trump replies to himself from an imagined wife's point of view.
"Yes, darling," he remarked, "ultimately, we know who calls the shots."
Trump went on to ensure supporters they would be safe in caucusing for him.
"You're going to be safe," he promised. "And again, it's going to be all indoors."
Trump said the goal was "taking our nation back."
Say what now?
You should vote even if it kills you? You should vote for him even if it kills you?
Like wow.
Do you fully understand how offensive that is? How disgusting! Just before Martin Luther King Day?
This man, this man, is telling people that their lives aren’t worth as much as their vote?
One day before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day?
Risking your life, in order to vote. Who would conceive of such a thing?
Who would dare make such a request of people — to literally sacrifice themselves to a “noble” cause? To risk and potentially lay down their lives for the greater good?
How would such a sacrifice — of mind, body and spirit — be repaid? Would your efforts stand as a bedrock to formations of greater liberty for all?
Would that sacrifice stand as a symbol to all who follow, reminding them of their own duty toward liberty and justice?
Would those efforts be remembered at all?
Or would they fade — forgotten and unremembered — lost in the sands of time for an uncaring populace who neither appreciates nor cares what you may have laid down on their behalf?
Is it worth it?
Is it really?
This man is part of a party that has gutted the Voting Rights Act and blocked all efforts to repair it for the last 10 years. His party has implemented hundreds of restrictions to voting. His party has implemented dozens of Gerrymandered districts. He and his party claim that Black People in Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia stuff the ballot boxes in 2020 leading to his defeat.
And he has the fucking all-fire nerve to talk about “Voting as if your life depends on it?”
For minorities in this country, this is not a joke. This is not a pretense.
Our lives literally do depend on it.
They always have.
This is my 11th recommended dairy in a row, which — I think — matches my all-time personal record. Thanks for all your support guys.
