Too Much Rosanne

Too much Rosanne
Too much Bachelorette
Too much Kardashians
Meanwhile, the Trumpian propaganda powers on.
How many Americans know how little they gained or how much they lost in the Tax Cuts?
Why renewed barriers with Cuba again?
Why renewed hostility with Iran?
Why was US embassy moved to Jerusalem? What consequences/
Why is our prison system such a mess?

So many issues to distract us from the real and horrible changes in our culture under the Trump administration

go home and make dinner for the family, check the kids homework and put them to bed, and then turn on a sitcom to wind down; you are dead to me!

Trump is President and I’m going to the Dali museum this weekend. How aweful.

Nothing wrong with a brief escape. Doesn’t matter if it’s Blackish or the Dali.

Additionally, societal racism is not a distraction.

If you try and discuss a factual issue, they bury you in bullshit.

One version of this is the Gish Gallop.
