The park, founded in 1634, was where the Colonial militia mustered
in the lead-up to the Revolution that ushered in the freest and most successful
democracy the world has ever known. George Washington, John Adams and General
Lafayette went there to celebrate America’s independence. Ironically, The
Commons will now be the site of bitter, dependent, entitled, ignorant,
intolerant fools expressing their anger at the current state of democracy by
shrieking incoherently into the ether. In other words, their candidate lost. Grow
up.
Johanna Schulman, an activist and one of the organizers of the
scream meme, exclaimed to Newsweek: “This administration has attacked
everything about what it means to be American. Who wouldn’t feel helpless every
day? Coming together reminds us that we are not alone, that we are part of an
enormous community of activists who are motivated and angry, whose actions can
make a difference.”
This is nonsense. All of it. Though Trump can certainly be “unpresidential”
at times, and occasionally appear to some to be a lout, he legitimately won the
election and has done more in his first year at the nation’s helm to restore
its mission, protect its citizens, and increase their economic opportunity than
almost any other conceivable candidate. Moreover, Ms. Schulman, are you “helpless” folks gathering to “scream helplessly at the sky” in protest of The
Scary One, or are you confident your “actions can make a difference?”
The late Jimi Hendrix- inadvertently- described these moron’s
actions perfectly (okay, I changed one
letter on one word):
Purple haze all in my
brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I diss the sky
Lately things just don't seem the same
