Trumpism (originally written 6/20/18

Beware brothers and sisters, they want to take things back to the 1950s

Trumpism propagates inside a political vacuum sucked up by closeted Hoovers and freedom fascists. Howling to dog whistle signals of the good old days, by good old boys shrink wrapped in red white and blue versions of God bless America. Pseudo-patriotic shock troops march in Walmart parking lots to Trumped up charges. Angry sycophants strap phallus like tactical appendages to their backs, arming themselves for the armchair revolution. Fomented by a bloated  showman selling one way tickets to 1952. Selling grainy black and white fiefdoms to masters of snowflake narcissism. Fed fears with a five foot spoon. Choking on the bones of jihads, enemies, and boogie men. Turn over a gilded Trump card, faux gold shining under florescent light. As the lie becomes gospel...
