Have I been in a coma for the last four years? Before I went out:

If a person bankrupted two casinos, he was a nitwit, not a shrewd businessman.

If a person didn’t pay his employees or taxes, he was despised by the working man, not revered.

If a person was asked to protect his fellow Americans and himself by doing something as simple as wearing a mask, he did it without whining.

If a person painted his house to honor a reality TV star, he was a wack job, not a patriot.

If a person cozied up to evil dictators such as Vladimir Putin, he was a communist traitor, not a diplomat.

If a person was responsible for 186,000 deaths, he didn’t get credit for being pro-life.

If a person befriended Nazis and the KKK, he was denounced, not nominated for reelection.

Before I went out, stealing from your own charity, committing adultery and lying were considered sins by Christians, not the Holy Trinity. And the news was the news, not fake because you didn’t like it.

If the rest of you are not going to wake up, please put me back under.
