I follow Michael Jochum (Not Just A Drummer) and his post today struck a chord with me. I, too, have wondered how it’s possible that 1 in 3 Americans can still align themselves with Trump. His response to that question is as plausible as anything I’ve read. “If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy. If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.” Michael Yochum Think about the people in your life that still support Trump…and plan to vote Republican in the upcoming election. Does this hold? What’s missing??
