American Carnage

I’m not sure I’ve ever underestimated it, but to see the breadth of Donald Trump’s cold, sociopathic venality is enraging.

Bodies are piling up in refrigerated cars and he’s cluelessly tweeting us happy talk.

Our people, our fellow citizens at war with a virus and he’s too much who he is, a lover of chaos and meanness, to give bullets(as in PPE and ventilators) to the troops in the front lines. If Coronavirus were the Nazis, he would be Vikdun Quisling, and his pathetic gang of simpering enablers the Vichy French.

He loves seeing this virus make governors fight each other and his own weakened FEMA fight over respirators, swabs, gloves, gowns, and face protection.

When he spoke of “American Carnage” he didn’t tell us he would stand by and watch while we died.The virus doesn’t give a shit if you wear a MAGA hat or a hijab.

If there is pink foam coming out of your lungs you won’t care if the doctors or nurses trying to save you are gay, lesbian, trans, Latinx, Muslim, Buddhist or atheist.

I hope I live long enough to spit on his grave. I curse the day he was born and the deluded millions who think he was sent by God.

If God sent him, it was a curse on this nation. Feel free to ignore me and follow him down the road of sneering contempt for human life and of any word ever spoken by Jesus of Nazareth.
