Great song, I don't think I have ever heard that. When I close my eyes lately the cover of David's Triage is what I see. Bloody hands, American flag. 

I know the argument is that humanity has always had these elements and they rear their ugly head and when they do, people die. 

When I lost my temper the other day at a Trump supporter I know, well, it was in part because I had heard that report that the Florida GOP was selling Alligator Alcatraz shirts and that sales rose 500% when Donny visited it. Plus, I heard the report about weeping lawyers telling little children their parents were gone. I heard a description of a 4 year old, when the court asked the child if she understood what was being explained, and her answer was "We are going to live in America."

She just thought this was part of the process, did not know where her parents were but thought they were coming back.

My mind, sadly, will combine things, I think to torment me. So, I imagined a big fat MAGA idiot standing in front of this little four year old girl wearing his Alligator Alcatraz shirt, smirking at the cruelty and horror that had been unleashed on this child. 

And...well...rage poured out of me. Sure, I should have been screaming at that ugly puss filled boil on humanity's ass, Stephen Miller, the architect of child cruelty, but in the moment...this MAGA idiot had to do. Wrong place, wrong time, buddy. 

T-shirts promoting open wild, vicious, cruelty and children being taken from their parents to meet who knows what fate. The fucking rubes laughing and celebrating that maybe these kids will hear their mom or dad has been ripped apart by an alligator. 

500%

I don't know how many people that actually is. I was hoping only one person had been dumb and vicious enough to buy one of those shirts. But you know me, I am good at misplacing my faith in humanity. 

Wearing an Alligator Alley t-shirt though, that's pretty fucking close to tattooing a swastika on your forehead and standing on the stairs of your nearest synagogue. You are literally screaming your hate and cruelty at the world...with absolutely no shame. 

What time are the fireworks?
