The "I hate him because I didn't vote for him" crowd has looked a lot differently this past year. I'll give you two guesses as to why...but you'll only need one. Do we live in a dysfunctional country of sore losers and ungrateful winners?
I'd say so. I'm old enough to remember the days of when they would hang the pictures of electected officials in government buildings and it wouldn't be controversial. In the movie Scarface, there is a picture of Jimmy Carter hanging from the US Immigration Office.
Back then, this would not be a controversial thing. Folks would get elected...then people would move on. Put a picture of Obama, Trump, or Biden anywhere and people would lose their minds. Boycotts, Petitions, and Firings...Oh My!
So where do we draw the line? When will you see that this is a pissing match between two groups that would rather profit off of the deliberate divide instead of fixing the country? If a member of the Black Panther Party and a Klansman had to work together to save the life of a drowning child, would they?
I will admit, I have never seen a "Let's go Brandon" shirt out there, but I know they exist. I have never seen a "Fuck Trump" shirt out there, but I know they exist. I also know the people that are dumb enough to wear them in public in front of children is just as thirsty as their opponents.
With that being said, I fixed the previous political cartoon. Either the woman in the carton is raising a complete moron, or the girl in pink pretty much knows what "Let's Go Brandon" means. Any parent knows that children have a way of remembering shit you wish they'd forget.
Social medial will never forget the defenders of the men who lynched Arbery and the folks that bent over backwards to justify Floyd's homicide. These folks may have to explain this if they ever want to obtain an elected position. If you go on social media stating that Coca-Cola is the best beverage on the face of the planet and then God comes down from heaven drinking an ice cold Pepsi, people will use screenshots of your post in justifying why you shouldn't be allowed in heaven.
That is basically what will happen when you wear your opinions and passions on your sleeve. Every natural human being has some inconsistencies and hypocrisies in them. Just like the Miranda Rights, anything you say on social media can and will be held against you in the court of public opinion when you are proven wrong.
People that humble themselves and apologize when they are wrong are the only ones I respect. If you you are silent when you are wrong but can't keep your mouth shut when you are right - this entire Mind Dumpling was for you.
