THE LINE – When Sweet Talk Turns to Abuse

trump supporters: Maybe you admit your president-elect’s not the kind of man you’d want your daughter to date. Maybe there’s just a little lump in your gut that tells you something’s not quite right with the lustful recklessness of his moves on Lady Liberty. Still, you say, you want to at least give the guy a chance.

Okay, I get that. But, in the name of God, decide for yourselves—right now, as he already commits one mindless blunder after another—where you will draw the line on this guy’s conduct as your president.

         If you're unable or unwilling to draw a moral 
        line in the sand, history amply proves despots 
        like trump will draw it for you.

Will the last straw be proof that trump and his family are profiting from decisions and influences affecting U.S. trade policy? An order to hand-select the White House press corps to exclude any whose questions make him uncomfortable?

Maybe evidence that another country—especially a sworn enemy of the United States—has influence over him, perhaps even controls him with the threat of blackmail? Connections to the Mafia? Indictment for a serious crime like tax evasion, election fraud, sexual assault or rape?

Decide!

Because if you’re unable or unwilling to draw a moral line in the sand, history amply proves despots like trump will draw it for you. And then you’ll soon have to make another decision: how to tell your children and grandchildren yours was the political movement that sat back and watched while America and all her precious, hard-won values got seduced from right under your nose by a fucking TV reality star. And how you just waited while this masher groped, denigrated and brutally defiled our virtuous nation like just another of his bimbo groupies.

Decide!
