Enough is Enough
We're not here to pick political sides. We're here to pick reality's side. When tweets replace policy, when facts become "fake news," and when governance becomes a reality show, it's time to call it what it is: bullsh.it.
The Reality Show Presidency
Governing requires nuance, diplomacy, and expertise. Not 3am social media rants, executive orders written on napkins, and firing people via Twitter. Democracy isn't a season finale.
Twitter Diplomacy
Remember when international relations were handled through careful negotiation? Now we get policy announcements between retweets of conspiracy theories and typo-filled threats to world leaders.
Alternative Facts
Facts aren't alternative. They're just facts. When crowd sizes matter more than climate science, and experts are dismissed as "the deep state," we've entered dangerous territory.
Sharpie Weather Forecasts
When a president alters a weather map with a sharpie to avoid admitting a mistake, it's not just funny—it's a symptom of something deeply wrong. Science shouldn't be negotiable.
The Cult of Personality
Democracy thrives on healthy skepticism, not blind loyalty. When questioning the leader becomes heresy and criticism equals treason, we're not in a democracy anymore.
Laws? What Laws?
Nobody is above the law. Not you, not me, and definitely not the president. When accountability becomes optional for those in power, democracy dies in darkness.
Let's Remember Some Things:
- Experts spent decades earning their expertise. Maybe listen to them.
- The media isn't "the enemy of the people." Authoritarians say that.
- Calling everything you don't like a "hoax" doesn't make it go away.
- Democracy requires participation, not just cheering for your team.
- Immigrants aren't the enemy. They're people. Show some humanity.
- Climate change doesn't care about your political affiliation.
- Unity doesn't mean conformity. Dissent is patriotic.
