Trump Crazies in Tulsa

Who drugged these people?

There's a journalist named Cal Perry who works for NBC.  His twitter handle is @calnbc.

He went to Tulsa and videotaped a white male Trump fan singing and bouncing with six cute female Trump fans, all white.  

Cal posted his video on Twitter and commented, "Welcome to Tulsa.  People are already in line.  Also, re-election songs."  

Followers of Cal Perry tweeted various horrified responses.

It took me a while to figure out these simple facts.  I couldn't imagine why any sane person would give publicity to these supporters of the 45th and worst-ever president.  At first I thought maybe Cal Perry likes dt too.

But now I am doing the same thing. I want the world to know how bad things are in Tulsa and in the USA.

The bouncy people all wear matching Trump caps and Trump t-shirts.  They look crazed.  They look like a man and his harem.  Maybe a man and wife with their five Barbie-doll daughters.  

I've never seen anything so alarming.  After Trump's mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic and in the midst of his cold indifference to the black men lynched by police, these people are singing cute songs about giving him four more years.  


Do they know that Black Lives Matter?  Do they care about the protests rocking the US?

Did they invite a Black or Latin-x Trump fan to join them?

Maybe they couldn't find anyone who would say yes.

Maybe they don't know anyone who is of another race.

Maybe it didn't occur to them to invite anyone else.  

We'll find out in November if they represent the majority of Americans, or at least enough to win the Electoral College.

Somebody give them a small sign that says "Tulsa supports black lives too!" just to acknowledge which decade they are living in.  

Oh wait, the Tulsa massacre of  1921.  Maybe the majority in Tulsa today don't care about black lives.
