To My Facebook Friends Who Keep Peddling Pro-Trump Nonsense

I can't believe how many of you are still stuck in a MAGA fantasy.

It’s time to let him go. Step away from the altar. Hold out for another hero. Fanboying and fangirling as a Swiftie or part of the Beyhive is one thing; but presidential candidates should offer us more than catchy lyrics, a good beat, or a tired slogan.

Embrace reality and a presidential candidate who actually cares about someone other than himself — someone who is not just looking to recapture a job that strokes his ego and keeps him out of prison.

You all know very well that if President Joe Biden went on a national debate stage and started rambling about migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and dogs the way Donald Trump did at his lowest point in last Tuesday’s debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, you would not only spin it as “evidence” that he’s facing end-stage dementia. You’d label him certifiably bonkers.
