The March on the morning after—
the morning after the orange one took the sacred oath with his mouth puckered—
the morning after the abomination—the women arose! The women gathered!
The women descended on the capitol!
The women gathered in hundreds of town squares! The women spoke!
The women marched and chanted to the drumbeat! Trump goes down!

Well, here we are. And Trump was right about one thing at his inauguration. He said that the day marked the return of America’s government to the people.

Today, on the day after his tragic ascension to power, millions of women are marching across the breadth of America. By exercising their rights to march and speak, the women of America prove that what Trump said is true—our government is still in the working, loving and sharing hands of us—the people!

One of the early speakers in Washington, D.C. opened by observing, “We teach our children not to bully. We teach them that bullying is not leadership.” How true is that!  It sums up my questions to all my friends and relatives who support the newly installed egomaniac. It boils down to this:

Trump is rude. And that is his best quality! He’s proven it over and over and over again. Trump is one of the rudest excuses for a civilized human who has ever spoken in public. This is undeniable. So, how can you possibly believe that Trump makes a suitable public servant? How did you come to prop him up with your votes to be the rudest leader of the Free World since the nickname was invented after WWII? None of our presidents has been publicly rude. Some were crooks. Some were unfaithful. None were rude.

To deepen the inquiry, we must recognize that rudeness is Trump’s BEST quality, not his worst. His vulgar language ratchets him down. His bullying lowers him a long way down. His picking on individuals and groups debases him. His casual and flippant reference to making war puts him at rock bottom. (“We’ll kick the [sh**] out of them,” he said in reference to Iranian sailors who reportedly taunted US seamen on a destroyer.)

I want to have a level headed conversation with my friends and family about the good qualities that they must see in Trump. But first, I would ask them to address my simple question, “Why do you believe a rude bully should be sitting where Trump now sits— where you with your votes have put him?” Let’s open the floor for discussion. And, in the meantime, we march!
