Donald Trump wants to rule America by fear. And do you know what we call people (whether voters or otherwise) who allow their lives to be *ruled* by fear? I think we all know. It's amazing that Trump is inviting people to be cowards and folks are accepting the invitation—proudly. https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1298348692370599938
PS/ If you're scared of the hundreds of things Trump's RNC is demanding you be scared about, I'm sorry, but you suffer from unreasonable, even outrageous levels of personal anxiety about imaginary threats—and your fear is almost certainly making it difficult for you to function.
PS2/ The FBI determined—for instance—that at a *very* small minority of the *thousands* of #Blacklivesmatter protests, *organized criminals* were stealing things from a few stores. Crime generally is *way down*. So if you're pretending your life is entangled in this—no, it's not.
PS3/ If you slow your heart rate for a moment and ask yourself "Which of the things Trump wants me to be terrified of have ANY EFFECT WHATSOEVER on my life?", you'll find the answer is: virtually none of them do. The things that affect you? The *Democrats* are talking about them.
PS4/ COVID-19 affects you. Healthcare issues affect you. Federal benefits affect you. The USPS affects you. Funding for schools affects you. Funding for roads affects you. But "MS-13 moving in next door"? WTF is that? That has *nothing to do with your life as you live it daily*.
