I remember being told that I was overreacting.
I remember being told that I was suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" or "TDS."
I remember being told I was being "rude."
I remember being told that I was too "angry"
I remember being told that I needed to "calm down."
I remember being told that I shouldn't talk politics so much.
I remember being told that Trump was not doing anything out of the ordinary.
I remember being told to "not get yourself so worked up."
I remember being told that I was a "broken record."
I remember being that that my "well-intentioned passion and anger are taking over your reason and intelligence."
I remember you ignoring his vile comments to Gold Star families.
I remember you making excuses for his forced separation of THOUSANDS of children from their parents to TERRORIZE as a policy.
I remember you ignoring his mocking women, people of color, the disabled, judges, our intelligence agencies.
I remember you ignoring his Trans ban.
I remember you ignoring his Muslim ban.
I remember you ignoring his sexism… his racism… his transphobia… his xenophobia…
I remember you laughing off his lies…. his THOUSANDS of lies.
I remember you ignoring his sexual assaults.
I remember you ignoring his corruption.
I remember you scoffing at his traitorous behavior when playing footsie with Putin.
I remember you laughing off his embarrassing behavior on the international stage.
I remember you making excuses for lying about, then ignoring the deadliest pandemic in our lifetime.
I remember you remaining silent on the death of over 350,000 of our fellow Americans.
I remember you mocking people that CARED.
I remember so much more.
I also remember creating this piece of artwork... and with today's events (a riotous coup attempt, a dead woman, attacks on the police, etc) putting the exclamation point on what I've been saying since months before Trump was elected. Take a look at the word choice. There was thought behind EVERY single word. It was not that tough to see if you opened up your eyes, ears, and mind. Trump was Trump in 2016. He's the same today.
Look at the date on this magazine. I wasn't clairvoyant. I simply paid attention.
I saw all of this. Every word still stands. He should never have been President. He needs to be removed.
Now.
