Sullied Soapbox: Condoms are great
Sobriety's safest But most of all Don't be a rapist
If only life were that easy! Did you know that in the States alone, one is far more likely to be raped than to be president? When one factors in the gender aspect, that statistical construct grows all the more divisive. On paper, being a female rape survivor is astronomically more likely than being a rapist male president. Admittedly, this casts a broad net. I argue that the States operate in mindless extremes lately. America cannot be bothered to think critically. Outsource thought. The current grasp of basic civics isn't so much a command as it is a floundering for purchase. Given the slew of sexual misconduct/rape accusations against Trump, his recorded behavior of sexualizing his own children, corroborated stories of him going back stage in teenage pageants, and published celebration of his "grab them by the pussy" comment (which disgustingly has female supporters) continue to receive massive support beyond logic. This is acceptable. This is how modern leadership manifests itself. We have settled for a wealth-based oligarch who claims to follow God, invests in the prosperity gospel, and serves Mammon.
Trump's God is Mammon. America's complacency in accepting the landscape that those under our charge (as should be the role of all government officials) adhere to the defilement of the nation's moral character would make ash-strewn beaches across the country churn into slow sand. Enjoy the half-off chocolate!
