Although it is an open letter, it’s too long to post here. So I’ll post a link. It begins:
Sadly, the letter is more than 280 characters, which means that the addressee will never read it. (Not that he would understand what was written, nor care what was written, if he did read it.)
If that letter doesn’t make Trump resign, nothing will!!
This TV spot has been playing non-stop in CA. Not sure if it’s getting air time in the rest of the country. Hard to fault the guy for sincerity, but I guess if you have money to burn…
Unless, according to some, but not according to the U.S. Constitution, your parents are in the country illegally or are here legally, but they are residents of another country.
:shrugs: The letter claimed being born a citizen doesn’t make you an American. Yes, there are other ways of doing it, but being born a citizen makes you an American. Not serving in the military (in every war except Iraq), not helping old people vote, not revealing your tax returns.
On reading more of what he says, I’ll change my stance and agree with you. I see what he is trying to say, which is that being an “American” is about holding certain values, etc. But that’s simply not true. In fact, it is contrary to his larger thesis, and muddles his message.
It mostly makes me think the same thing as I thought during the election: It would be nice if someone would write something actually analyzing Trump’s policy.
Tell people that Trump’s an asshole and they’ll possibly agree with you, but still support the man. Tell them that he’s going to increase the deficit, get our soldiers killed, and cause mass unemployment, and people will start to listen.
