My response to Trump a few minutes ago

I think I made some sense here?





Trump
The Fake News is doing everything in their power to blame Republicans, Conservatives and me for the division and hatred that has been going on for so long in our Country. Actually, it is their Fake & Dishonest reporting which is causing problems far greater than they understand!

my response:
We blamed Charles Manson for 7 murders committed by the "Manson Family" - we blamed bin Laden for the 19 terrorists who attacked on 9/11 - it's only logical to blame Trump for radicalizing the #MAGABomber and the #MAGAShooter with his lie-filled hate fests

Trump didn't make Bower an anti-Semite.

But he took the anti-Semite, pumped him up and lit the fuse.

Don't forget that Bower specifically said that he was hitting the synagogue not because they were Jews but because he thought HIAS ( the Jewish Refugee assistance agency) was assisting the caravans.

While it was obviously anti-Semitic, Bower was an anti-Semite a month ago and a year ago. He became an anti-Semite murderer yesterday because he became radicalized to a boiling rage because of the propaganda about the caravans.

but according to the Mooch today, Trump doesn't read the responses. He just likes to throw his tweets out there because he knows it pisses off liberals and the media. He doesn't even believe half what he tweets. tRump just likes being an internet troll...

Yes, they are complicit, they enable him and are far too often racist. But the inciting of violence mainly rests with him and he knows this. The messages are getting under his skin - GOOD!

Leaders who disable truth never want to call the press honest. They end the Fairness Doctrine, let non-journalistic capitalists run as much news outlets as serve their interests.

Or they call true journalists "fake" to pervert and confuse Americans about who's on their side.

Keep up the good history lessons about the importance of journalism.

Whether this president likes it or not is immaterial.

This is not about presidents.

This is about US.

You have been fanning the flames of hatred and intolerance since Day 1. You have emboldened and encouraged these people. You are just as much at fault as they are.

Oh, and FFS, quit whining you pathetic little baby man!

You get a hoard of angry MAGAts responding if you get a lot of likes, but that's usually the worst of it. If I were a woman and/or person of color, I'd probably get threatening DMs. But, I'm a white male.

I started off several years ago building it up with fans of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, and other similar Sci Fi/Fantasy shows, books, etc. And, then live-tweeting during the shows. That got me up to 6K/7K

However, I've been trying to build them up since the election of 2016 with fellow Democrats/Progressives - look for #Resistance and #FBR (Follow Back Resistance - meaning people that should follow you back if you have similar in your profile) and #PRU (Proud Resistance United) and there are some pretty cool people that run lists of vetted Resistance members that should follow you back if you follow them.

I have never regretted my decision to avoid setting up an account on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. I do selectively visit these sites as most of my family post comments or original music on these platforms.

I've responded to him at least 1 or 2 times a day with heavy snark/sarcasm, but no luck yet.

Maybe since I'm a white male?
