Build A Wall
Lock Her Up
Drain the Swamp
Nine little words brayed repeatedly by the President-Elect
while campaigning. Nine little
words chanted by the Trump disciples.
Over and over and over.
What do these nine little words have in common? Other than they are monosyllabic (short,
easy) words? Any guesses? They are meaningless. All meaningless.
I’m pretty much glad that six of those words have no
meaning. Build a wall – useless and
expensive. Lock her up – imagine the
resources that would take. Also
useless and expensive. Drain the
swamp – Trump is busy filling the swamp.
Perhaps he meant to drain the brackish water from the swamp so we could
clearly see the mass of writhing reptiles.
These nine little words swarmed around the heads of the
Trump disciples like torpid mosquitoes.
Somewhat bothersome, but not worth the effort to swat away. Actually energizing to many. Often invigorating. Easy to say. Fun to chant. “I’ll
vote for that,” many said. “Trump
rallies are fun,” they stated. “We’ll
put Trump in the White House with these fine ideas,” they swore.
Nine little words.
Three massive wishes. These
three wishes will never be granted by the Trump genie. What now, Trump supporters? With the tarnishing brass lamp lying at
your feet, useless, what will you do?
Gloat? Seems to still be
happening by the viral videos I see of shouting Trump voters? Sneer? Sneering at Liberals is all-consuming fun. Hate? Ongoing.
Those are three more little words.
Gloat, sneer, hate.
Actually, not so little.
What is left for us all now? Watching the rapid dismantling of our country. Removal of health care for those who
could lose everything with one major illness. Gutting of free education. Removal of any regulations that could keep your water safe
and your air clean. Why would any
of these things be beneficial to our country? Did any Trump voters actually stop to think about this? Do any research? Think about the future of their
children and grandchildren?
No thinking involved.
Just chanting. The
repetition of those nine little words.
