This is terrifying. Because of the truth of it. I have not lived through such a regime, but I am watching it from afar. Many of my friends and neighbours are not watching. They are too selfishly preoccupied being privileged children during a pandemic that is the most traumatic thing they have ever experienced.

Of course, the pandemic is deeply traumatic. So is the hostile takeover of America’s democracy. To be honest, that is causing me more angst than the pandemic right now.

What American’s need to realise — PLEASE REALISE — Trump is not smart. He doesn’t have a good brain. He doesn’t have the best words. He’s not Machiavellian. He’s a bull in a China shop.

He’s not an evil genius. He’s just evil. He doesn’t even have a plan! He got here by compete and utter lunacy, and now he’s holding on for dear life. The Presidency was the end goal he never EVER thought he’d achieve. He hasn’t even CONSIDERED what could come after that.

He’s a vessel for evil and they are all whispering in his ears. He doesn’t know who to listen to, so he’s listening to them all.

Trump is not smart enough to pull this off. He’s a sociopathic, narcissistic, fucking BUFFOON. Once you realise this America, you can begin to take back your power.

Yes, Trump is terrifying. But he’s not smart. Yes, he’s dangerous. But he’s bragging about passing a dementia test. Getting rid of Trump will not even solve the problem. A Pence Presidency? Holy fuck.

America, you need to step into your power and take it back in the best way possible. Please. WAKE UP.
