Alaska Earthquake

Denial is not a river in Egypt or a mountain in Alaska.  It’s a perpetual state one must remain in to be a Donald Trump supporter. 

Have you ever talked to a Trump supporter?  It’s not just hopeful optimism they express for their leader.  They deny stuff that actually exists.  It’s like they never read the news.  That’s where their denial starts. 

Any news that’s negative on Trump is “fake news.”  Many don’t believe Hillary Clinton won more votes than Trump.  They don’t believe Trump is racist or sexist despite a history of racist comments and sexists behavior.  They don’t recognize that our current economy is a trend started under Obama.  Some of them actually denied it rained during his inauguration.  They deny voter suppression is ongoing.  Leading up to the midterms, they denied Democrats would take the House.  A lot of them actually think Trump has great hair. 

Their greatest denial is over Trump and Russia.  They don’t see Trump being subservient to Vladimir Putin.  They don’t believe Russia meddled.  If there was any collusion, it was done by the Clinton campaign.  One of their most repeated arguments is that there is no evidence that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. 

Never mind the fact that none of them work for Robert Mueller in the Special Counsel’s office preventing them from knowing what he knows.  But, they ignore that there were Russians in Trump Tower meeting with his son, son-in-law, and campaign manager.  Somehow, writing a dossier is greater evidence of collusion that inviting spies into your building.  They deny Russia engaged in a social media campaign when they were the very targets it worked on.  They deny there are troll farms when they’re the cattle.  They don’t seem to recall Trump asking Russia for help on the campaign trail or that he said more than once, “I love Wikileaks.”  He may as well have shouted, “I love colluding.” 

Even after Cohen’s guilty plea last week and news came out on his plea deal with the Special Counsel’s office, I still heard a few Trump sycophants say there wasn’t any evidence of collusion.  They either haven’t watched any actual news since before last Thursday, or they don’t understand the definition of “evidence.” 

When the Special Counsel finally makes his case, I expect we’ll see a lot of evidence.  Well, the majority of the nation will see it.  There will continue to be a large number of Republicans with blind spots. 

I have been in an earthquake where some people didn’t feel anything, but for Trump supporters, the building is about to come crashing down on them.  I’m looking forward to them feeling it. 

Be Complicit

What kind of person would want to be part of something that disparages, slanders, and disrespects Dear Leader and his sycophantic followers?  Hopefully, you. 

Making a contribution supports my work and keeps the cartoons, columns, and videos coming.  My income is from newspapers that subscribe to my work and small contributors.  George Soros hasn’t sent me a million dollar check in weeks.  Making a contribution of any amount, or buying a print for $40.00, makes you part of this specific resistance, and a member of Team Claytoonz (we’re still working on the name).  You are complicit, an accomplice, and in cahoots (and whatever gangster terms we can think of) with this political satire pointing out that the stupid emperor has no clothes.  Contributions can be made through PayPal, checks, and wads of cash exchanged in back alleys. 

Whether you can help support, can’t, or just choose not to, please continue to enjoy and keep reading my work.  Thank you!!!
