I am really angry this morning and I want to hurl a million insults at you (or at least 6,200 of them), but I am choosing not to. I’m realizing that insults can sometimes hurt others in the crossfire.
I’m not going to call you “fat”, because that would be insensitive to many people, including me, who struggle to stay at a healthy weight.
I’m not going to call you “stupid”, because that is insensitive to those who aren’t blessed with intelligence.
I’m not going to call your wife a “hooker”, since it’s insulting to those who choose to make their living as sex workers.
I’m not going to call your daughter and her husband “Nepotism Barbie and Slenderman”, because it devolves to the juvenile name calling that is your primary tool as a politician.
But I will call you out on things that are indefensible for anyone – most especially, for the leader of what was (and what will be again) a great country.
You are dishonest - you lie about everything and always have. From the days of pretending to be John Barron, to covering up your mob connections, to lying about the involvement of Russia and a million other things before and after, you are provably a liar. Before, it only hurt people you did business with. Now, it’s killing people, including those dying of COVID-19, members of the military and people of color who are killed by the hateful mob that you have allowed to crawl out from under their slimy rocks, while they call you “My Precious”.
You are uncaring - you didn’t care about the Central Park 5, you didn’t care about Puerto Rico, you don’t care about the kids you had put in cages, you don’t care about your sexual assault victims, you don’t care about those dying from COVID-19, you don’t care about Black Lives and you clearly don’t care about soldiers dying in Afghanistan due to your evil allies.
You are cruel - you delight in and encourage police brutality, you insult war heroes because they were captured, you get excited about “dominating” mostly peaceful protesters, you tell American citizens of color to go back to where they came from and you let people die to avoid impacting your reëlection.
You are corrupt - your dealings through the years with the Mafia in New York, money laundering for Russian mobsters and now, traitorous relationships with dictators in places like Russia, North Korea and Saudi Arabia, have left you unable to work on behalf of the United States. Your refusal to divest from your businesses and the likely fraudulent loans and tax evasion that you fight to keep secret, compromises every action you take. Your desire to avoid prosecution and jail colors every decision and forces you to surround yourself with morally bankrupt sycophants as you destroy the tenets of democracy and, in turn, the country.
These things are not defensible. These things are why you’re unfit for office. These things are why you’re not even worthy of using up oxygen on our planet. These things are why a random guy from a neighboring country with a lot of friends and family in the US gets in a rage, when nothing else makes him this angry. These things are why a good portion of America wants you out of office. These things are the reason those same good people (and there are only good people on one side here) can’t understand how a not-insignificant portion of their country still adamantly supports you. These are the reasons why people are sick about how an entire once-respectable political party watches in silence as the country they are sworn to serve and protect crumbles, all because they’re worried about being on the wrong end of a mean Tweet and their reëlection chances.
I’ll let you in on a secret - they have no chance at reëlection and neither do you. They have no chance at being written up in the history books as anything other than the corrupt, weak cowards that they are. And the many volumes in history about your failed reign will place you amongst the worst and most reviled figures in history. Because history will not be written by Bill Barr – he will not be the winner. It will be written by those who are reclaiming the country. By those that care about people in need, by those that know that Black Lives Matter, by those that know that the Dow doesn’t matter when grandma is on a ventilator.
The only thing you did get right, ironically, is that America will be made great again. Just not by you.
Signed,
Your Pissed Off Canadian Cousin
