Brain Kemp, Republican governor of Georgia has announced he will direct his state to full speed openings of "essential" businesses... His list of "essentials" includes such vital things as tattoo parlors... bowling alleys... nail parlors. You know, places where people have no choice but to share items, touch those shared items, cough in Corona range...
not a bright move.
Where on earth did Mr. kemp get the idea that opening IN THE WORST PANDEMIC IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY, WHILE TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE DYING, WHILE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE PROJECTED TO DIE...
well... of course. His village idiot mentor...
Donald "Ah Duh, gaze directly at the sun" Trump.
For the past months Trump has continued to downplay the potential dangers of CoV19, but he's egged people on to "get out there... disregard Liberal tyranny... Liberate!!!..."
So...
For the purposes of today's lesson in Trump "wisidisms" let's again go to the movies for comparison.
One of the all time great stories of how our country was "won", well actually "stolen"
DANCES WITH WOLVES.
I refer to the scene where the three Native American boys rode into John Dumbear, oops sorry John Dumbar's camp and stole his prize work horse "Cisco".
They wisked the horse into the moonlit night... singing songs of greatness... in anticipation of their fame for stealing from the awful white man who was there to take their lands away from them.
But, Cisco was a smart horse. While they were in full spring he planted his hooves into the ground catapulting the boy who was holding his reigns head over heel (ok, I imagined this) and the boy broke his arm.
The three boys dreams of "greatness" turned into a take of shame. Kind of like Trump's presidency...
But, that's not the comparison. The tallest boy circled back to the broken armed boy writing in pain and asked what happened.
The boy with the broken arm yelled "I broke my arm... my father will break his stick upon my back when he finds out... IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!".
The tallest, the "leader" then said "it was my idea to steal the horse... not break your arm".
That, my friends is Trump.
He encouraged millions of people to defy stay-home procedures. He talked down the "liberal paranoid Democrats" who he framed as "controlling, over-worriers who are trying to control their lives".
So people followed his suggestions... his prodding.
Last week we saw thousands of Americans grouped together, most with no masks, mingling, complaining, holding signs "I'd rather die free than be suppressed"... and we heard them talk about being "free to do what they want with their bodies"...
even if that meant risking death, and risking killing others.
Today, Trump said Governor Kemp's decision to open his state of Georgia was "not a good idea" something "he didn't agree with".
WHAT????
Kemp was following Trump's ignorant messages, repeated over and over these past months.
But, that is Trump's mode. He prods people into making mistakes... then places blame on them.
You see, if in a couple weeks we see Georgia's death toll skyrocket... Mr. Trump... Mr. "Inject sanitizers" will deny any blame whatsoever for those deaths.
He'll blame Governor Kemp, just like he blames China, the stars, magnetic waves emitted from green-tech windmills... who knows what and who else?
Trump will blame every damn person on earth instead of himself.
and, we the people want to see Trump in a world court explaining why he has made so many ludicrous false ridicules statements that some people fell for...
and are dead because of it.
