Safety?

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

The safety for the SCROTUS and his offspring has increased significantly since then, thanks to the Secret Service. No longer are personal bodyguards needed when he decides to play golf or otherwise fuck-off at one of his own resorts. They even protect Kremlin Barbie when she goes clubbing in DC. Or when Beevis or Butthead go abroad on what is clearly Drumpf Organization (and I use that term very loosely) business.

And let's not forget how our tax dollars paid for protecting the First (Third?) Lady and her progeny for months in Manhattan last year.

Details, details...

"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."

Fear = post 9/11, the whole George W Bush administration

Anger = the GOP during the Obama years

Hate = the Trump administration

Suffering = what comes next after hate

What comes after suffering?
