The Daily Propaganda Show

We are living in an unprecedented moment in our history. The world is seized by a dangerous pandemic, which has caused significant changes in virtually every aspect of our lives. There is a strong possibility that many of these changes will remain permanently embedded in the fabric of our society.

In the past, the primary source for guidance in crises such as the COVID-19 emergency was the federal government. We looked to Washington to provide assurances our country remained in good hands, that there was stable stewardship leading the ship of state through such rough waters.

No more.

Now, we're assaulted verbally, emotionally, and intellectually by the partisan screeds of Donald Trump, which are sometimes alternated with good medical information.

I just can't watch them. I can't stand his voice, I can't stand his lies, I can't stand his snideness. Call it Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) if you will, I don't care. Trump has been a loathsome creature for as long as I can remember (this is going back to the 1980s for ). I despised him then and I despise him now, only more so because somehow he got elected to the highest office in the land.

We, the American people, don't need a daily propaganda sh#tshow being forced upon us. Those of us with working faculties don't want to have to spend the entire pandemic briefing hitting mute whenever the orange-tinged baboon takes the podium.

This whole affair--Trump's mishandling of the warnings from various governmental agencies through the attempt to smear Chinese people for the spread of the disease (leading to Chinese-Americans being threatened) through the constant blaming of Obama (WTAF?)--is an affront on common sense and simple decency.

Every day, the cable news channels are flooded with a new Trump campaign rally. He insults reporters from news agencies he doesn't like, gives validity to those who praise him (some of which are the most wacko of all of them), and generally acts like an uncultured, undignified slob.

Historians will look back on this era and wondered how American fell so far to have elected such a bumbling twit and then didn't have the good sense to get rid of Trump before he did too much damage. That is, IF there are historians after his reign of terror.

Yours in frustration,
