I Know You Know

(200 words)

Convicted on all counts!

I know you know…

…he is a cheater and a convicted felon,

because we’ve all grown up with and dealt with cheaters, and cheating for him is a way of life, and yet,

you don’t say a thing.

I know you know…

…he is a bully,

because we’ve all grown up with and dealt with bullies, and he is the classic bully who blusters and bluffs and cowardly hides behind his meanness, and yet,

you don’t say a thing.

I know you know…

…he is a liar,

because we’ve all grown up with and been damaged by liars. You may say, “That’s just Trump being Trump,” but his lying is epic and pathologic and dangerous and destructive to the point it can hurt and deceive thousands of people, and yet,

you don’t say a thing.

I know you know…

…he is a racist,

because we’ve all grown up with and dealt with racists, and he is the poster boy for the unapologetic privileged white racist nationalist, and yet,

you don’t say a thing.

Why is that?

Are you not against,

• cheating

• bullying

• lying

• discrimination, and

• committing a crime(s)?

Especially when we’re talking about a former President of the United States?

Then where is the outrage?

Where is the courage of your convictions?

Stand up!

Speak out!

Character counts!
