Trumpox

Tales For Posterity

Sadly, it has been said before, but this week reached a new low and it is only Wednesday. Pair this one with American Idiot by Green Day and start popping vitamin C.

At the beginning of the millennium the world was ravaged by the viral infection Trumpox. It lowered people’s moral values and had grave side effects of usversusthemism and an irrational affinity for masculine dictators. It took a while for the immune response to kick in because the virus disguised itself as a swamp drainer and a job maker but with time people realized the disease did not nothing but destroy the democratic process and institutions while glorifying and enriching itself. Antibodies and permanent immunity was build through compassion, respect for diversity, and trust in each other.
