Today's MOZEN: Surprised?????

F LoBuono

Please don't tell me that you are surprised or shocked by what just transpired in Charlottesville, Va. Appalled, perhaps. Disgusted, certainly. But, surprised? Really?

I, for one, was certainly not.

I said from the very beginning of Donald J. Trump's candidacy that, if elected, he would fundamentally change what it means to be an American.

Well, he has - with every word and deed.

And, certainly NOT for the better.

The base that elected him are the same people who committed the hate-filled atrocities in Virginia. They are the same people who laughed when he mocked a disabled reporter. They are the same people who chanted "LOCK HER UP" whenever Mr. Trump mentioned Hillary Clinton. They are the same people who cheered when the future President emboldened them to attack reporters. Like a dormant fungus, they waited for just the right conditions to resurface and infect their host. They have always been there - waiting for the right time, place, and leader.

And, the man himself does nothing to discourage such abhorrent behavior. In fact, he encourages it.

His tweets are mean-spirited, poorly written, lack focus and cohesion.

He bullies and insults anyone who has the audacity (or HONESTY) to challenge him.

When he's not flat out lying, he's exaggerating.

He's broken virtually every promise he has ever made to the American people.

His version of making America Great Again is rioting in the streets.

He's a braggart and a phony. Even his hair is fake.

So, what do you expect from those who unabashedly express their dedication to and admiration of this Man Who Would Be King? You get moronic behavior modeled after their mentor - A REALITY TV SHOW HOST.

As I have also said from the very beginning: you get what you pay for. And, we got robbed!!

If you are too blind to see that, it's YOUR problem. I am simply determined not to make it MINE.
