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& #39;s amazing that Trump is inviting people to be cowards and folks are accepting the invitation—proudly. https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1298348692370599938">https://twitter.com/ProjectLi...
PS/ If you& #39;re scared of the hundreds of things Trump& #39;s RNC is demanding you be scared about, I& #39;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 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> protests, *organized criminals* were stealing things from a few stores. Crime generally is *way down*. So if you& #39;re pretending your life is entangled in this—no, it& #39;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& #39;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*.
