Trump to celebrate American Ignorance Day

[Cyrano]

Its going to take place on January 19th, the day before he's sworn in as president.

Naturally, he's not calling it American Ignorance Day. He's calling it a "Victory Rally."

Try to imagine Ronald Reagan, or even George W. Bush, holding a "Victory Rally" the day before being inaugurated. A celebration like this seems to redefine the word "chutzpah" as an act of humility.

To me, it's a "celebration" of a voting day on which America went bugshit insane. How could anyone who watched the madness of his first term vote for him again? Why would anyone want to live through another four years of a clueless man who acted on any whim of the moment? When did people become so brain dead that they couldn't recognize the danger to all of their freedoms? Why did ignorance become acceptable to so many?

Some (many?) believe the election was "stolen." Actually, it may have been, but in a way that's become virtual standard operating procedure for the Republicans. It's called "voter suppression" and it comes in many forms. Voters can be "scrubbed" from voter lists without knowing it. Polling places can be closed, making in difficult for many to get to a location where they can vote. In some areas, ballots can somehow get "lost." The Republican propaganda machine can convince many that their vote is useless, or a waste of time. Call it what you will. I call it a well-established system for election theft.

But back to the day before inauguration day. Trump is pissed that flags will be at half mast on that day and the next, in honor of Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is one of the most decent, honorable public figures that has ever led this country. Donald Trump is unrivaled as the worst.

So can all sane/thoughtful people agree that Trump's "Victory Rally" is among one of America's most shameful moments?

And for those of you who voted for Trump with no regrets, all I can say is that you have many unpleasant surprises coming at you in the near future. Unfortunately, in addition to screwing yourselves, you've screwed America.
