Just say “Nope”. 

My advice for Donald Trump is just that. Refuse. Resist. Defy. 

Don’t show up for the next Banana Republic arraignment and arrest. 

Don’t play with them anymore. We’re in uncharted territory, and the norms and foundations of law and order are moot. So, Mr. President, don’t give them what they want. They want you in silver bracelets, an orange jumpsuit, jelly shoes, and photographed for their entertainment. They want you to die in jail. 

You know what? Make them WORK FOR IT. Make them send their fascist, jackbooted thugs in SWAT gear to come get you. Make the pathetic Secret Service do their damn job. They protect Hunter, and look the other way while he bangs kids and buys (and does, and does, and does) mountains of crack. The same cover-ups that are so gracefully and silently carried out for The Big Guy and Barack Obama. 

 I keep tuning in to conservative media, and they’re yawning and strategizing, either willfully or ignorantly ignoring the horror of where we are. They, and we, should all be screaming, whether it’s into the wind or not. 

In fact, it’s not just Trump that should be saying “nope”, it’s you as well. If you are called a racist, a transphobe, a deplorable and a clinger…your response should be, “nope”, and laughter should follow. Those words, much like Trump’s sham indictments, should hold NO POWER. 

We give these creatures the air that they breathe. They NEED it. They WANT it. And to their great credit, they’ve succeeded in getting it. Well, I say starve them of their oxygen. Make them show exactly who they are. And in turn, we all have the opportunity to show who WE are, and it is no contest. 

So, indict and arrest. Name-call and allege. My advice? To Trump and the rest of you? 

Repeat after me: “Nope”.
