This shit-site is about to get a thousand times shittier.

As soon as I read President Trump’s tweet, I knew instinctively that the replies were going to be a cesspool of evil. As a general rule and out of self-preservation and a desire to think well of the human race, I never read the replies to the President’s tweets (nor to Melania’s). I knew it would be bad because these people are soulless monsters. They are, as I said a while back, a bunch of pathetic broken people.
The election of Donald Trump didn’t cause them to become such soulless monsters. It didn’t spring up out of nowhere in the wee hours of November 9, 2016. His election simply gave these broken people a target upon which to pour all the hatred and bile they’ve been stewing in for years.
But avoiding the replies to the President’s tweet didn’t save me from the vitriol, unfortunately. One of the first tweets I saw was from Rita Panahi who tweeted screen captures of some of the ugly, awful responses to the President’s news. And these were not from random Twitter trolls hiding behind anonymous names. They were blue-check verified people openly celebrating while wishing death on the President and First Lady.
Several of the people I follow were quote-tweeting some of the more ugly and rancid responses as well. I guess my only refuge is to avoid Twitter for a few days.
But even avoiding Twitter entirely won’t spare you from the poison. It will slither its way into the news and entertainment media; it will spread like an uncontained virus.
It is important now to pray for the president and first lady’s health as well as against the evilness that would cause individuals to wish for their death 🙏🏽 other than that we should try to remain calm

Yeah, I won’t hold my breath – not that I have any breath to hold since the barrage of poison from these soulless monsters took it away.
And, really? Who among us has a strong enough stomach to comb through the vast sea of ugly replies and report each and every one of them?
Not that it matters. Twitter will do the sum total of nothing.
My referring to Nancy Pelosi as a gin-soaked hag got me suspended for twelve hours. But wishing death on the President won’t summon even half the outrage from Twitter because the people who run Twitter are just as eager to see the President dead.
These horrid creatures have become the very thing they claim to oppose. And they are so blinded by their own hatred, so lacking in decency, they won’t even see it.
But we see it.
Americans are by and large decent and fair-minded people. And this kind of unfiltered malevolence will not go unnoticed.
When those who deem you the enemy tell you what they think of you, believe them. There is no pretense here, no desire to temper their true feelings. It is raw, unfiltered and ugly.
But it is who they are. It is who they’ve always been.
And because they have no “OFF” switch, no ability to moderate, they will push too hard and and go too far. As a result, decent, fair-minded Americans – even those who haven’t been paying attention to the soulless monsters of the ResistanceLOL – will be disgusted by what they see.
