There Will Be NO UNITY [View all]

To those who have been promoting the idea that we should all “unite” behind the thin-skinned, temper tantrum throwing idiot who was just inaugurated, please know this:

There will be NO unity between those who voted to put an ignorant buffoon in the Oval Office and those of us who respect that office, and expect it to be filled by someone equally worthy of respect.

There will be NO unity between those who support a racist bigot and those of us who recognize our fellow Americans as an integral part of who we are – regardless of their gender, their colour, their religion, or their ethnicity.

There will be NO unity between the adherents of a known liar and those of us who believe in the truth.

There will be NO unity between those who elected a Putin puppet as Commander-in-Chief and those of us who actually do put America first when it comes to who leads our nation.

There will be NO unity between those who support denying healthcare to millions, taking science out of our classrooms, and limiting a woman’s dominion over her own body, and those of us who find such an agenda to be ignorant, lacking in compassion – and, quite frankly, downright deplorable.

There will be NO unity between those who stand behind a pResident who has been lauded as their champion by white supremacists and those of us who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the champions of equal rights for all.

There will be NO unity between those who believe a self-described “pussy grabber” who publicly mocks the disabled is an appropriate president and those of us who think our president should conduct himself with dignity and decorum.

There will be NO unity between those who think a man who spends his waking hours “tweeting” nonsense like a 12-year-old and those of us who think a president should be the adult in the room – and act like it.

There will be NO unity between those too stupid to know who and what they were voting for and those of us who tried to dissuade them from their own foolishness.

There will be NO unity between those who are now calling for unity and those of us who remember their divisiveness for the past eight years.

The only UNITY Trump supporters are ever going to see is the unity displayed across the nation on January 21st – those united AGAINST everything Trump says, everything he stands for, and everything he is.

Get used to it, oh mournful choir singing ”Give Trump a Chance”: There is NO CHANCE. We will not be “uniting” with you at any time, on any level. You and your pResident represent everything the vast majority of Americans loathe.

So go sing that song up each others’ asses – no one else is listening.
