Wednesday, July 27, 2016 — Danger

16-07-27 BLOG CaligulaThings are get­ting very dan­ger­ous. There is now a seri­ous pos­si­bil­i­ty that the peo­ple of the Unit­ed States will elect Caligu­la as Pres­i­dent. The entire world is endan­gered by this folly.

I will repeat what I have said before. I con­sid­er any Amer­i­can who votes Repub­li­can in the com­ing elec­tion to be a trai­tor to his coun­try. There is sim­ply no excuse con­ceiv­able for an act so immoral, so dis­gust­ing, so vile, as to vote to make Don­ald Trump the most pow­er­ful per­son in the world. Fur­ther­more, I count it a moral oblig­a­tion for any Amer­i­can to act to pre­vent it. Nobody can claim to be a patri­ot unless they active­ly oppose this mon­ster at least to the extent of going to the polls to vote against him. There can be no sit­ting this one out.
