A reader found a letter to the editor written about me in a California newspaper.
You know you are having fun as a community organizer in California when you don’t hold elected office and yet they are still writing letters to the editor about you.
Sometimes as you read such letters you can imagine the triggered tears dripping down onto the keyboard as they wrote the letter to the editor.
Sometimes it’s that potent.
This particular letter was about this — I used the word “Nazi” loosely to refer to someone who force masked a child. How dare I use the name of the Nazis in vain!
I stand by my usage, even more so now that this crusty snowflake got triggered by it. Boy did this old timer get angry to sit down and write this letter.
I revel in joy at the pushing of good limits.
The letter to the editor written about me ends with this call to action:
“...An apology is called for Mr. Stevo. I hope you will stand up, apologize to all who you have hurt and offended by your use of the word “Nazis” and the phrases it was contained in. Think about the words and comparisons you use regarding your views, thoughts, and comments-words matter. As a writer, you should be aware of this.”
Can you imagine what kind of man bows down to pressure like that?
Yeah, I can.
Basically every Republican politician I encountered my entire lifetime was like that, with a tiny handful of exceptions.
And in 2016 there was a tough weekend. “Billy Bush weekend,” some call it. Oh boy did an ugly tape from Trump’s past come out.
The 1995 tape was shot as he travelled with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood to meet Days of our Lives actress Arianna Zucker.
(For those wondering, yes, the TV tabloid journalist from the tape is a relative of the Bush family)
It was an embarrassing series of comments caught on tape, released 20 years later as an October surprise.
Right on cue, Paul Ryan — the weasel who now sits on the Fox board of directors and who somehow got elected by the good people of Wisconsin to Congress — Paul Ryan, right on cue jumped ship on Trump.
Paul Ryan, the sitting Speaker of the House would have nothing to do with him and would sooner have Hillary win.
Pressure came for Trump to withdraw from the race.
Withdraw from the race?!? in October??!? of an election year?!?!
Are you serious?
Cuz you said something embarrassing?
The elections were a month away.
Nope.
Trump wasn’t going away.
Not a chance.
After the dust of that weekend settled, I knew that Trump was going to be different.
I knew that things were going to be different for the cowardly Republicans.
A lion was now in the house.
Trump was going to do embarrassing things and shameful things and keep right on fighting — unlike a lifetime of Republicans I had observed.
Kennedy and Trump are cut from the same cloth.
Or perhaps they earned their way into that club.
They could have been comfortable socialites with a trust fund.
That’s what many do in that situation.
Trump and Kennedy aren’t happy just leaving it alone.
They can’t just watch and see the country they love — the civilization they love — all fall apart.
Both have fought some impressive fights and have become HATED men because they stood up for the American people.
I talk about that in my next book.
It is called The Case for Rob3rt Kennedy.
It describes why every American should want Trump as the Republican nominee and Kennedy as the Democrat nominee.
It’s a no nonsense 54 pages and a quick, insightful read.
