The Madness Chronicles – Episode 28
In our 28th episode of the Madness Chronicles, we’ll take a look at the madness of a lack of understanding. Remember, madness is a state of being mentally ill, severely, extremely foolish behavior, and a state of frenzied or chaotic activity. Let’s take a look at our current madness after the last Presidential Debate.
Last Friday morning, following the Thursday night Presidential Debate, America witnessed the degree to which our education has fallen in the trenches of despair. President Trump, in responding to a question and said, “”Children are brought here by coyotes and lots of bad people, cartels, and they’re brought here, and they used to use them to get into our country.”
In response, his opponent, Joe Biden, said, “”These 500 and plus kids came with parents… coyotes didn’t bring them over,” Joe Biden says, responding to President Trump. “It makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation.” And America listened and responded.
Twitter lit up like the night sky on the Fourth of July. One anonymous tweet read, “How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! One Tweet from Karlous read, “Since when did coyotes start bringing kids over here?” Say what? Then actress Peri Gilpin, from Fraser, Tweeted, “The children are brought here by coyotes?” Umm? Nicole Schumann of PR News Online wrote, “What does “children are brought here by coyotes” mean?! Really?
Oh, it gets better. Someone on Twitter named CEOHarvey tweeted, “Children are bought here by coyotes “-WTF, DONALD TRUMP. Tennessee Titans fullback Khari Blasingame replied, “I thought I was tripping when I heard that.” These are grown-ups? Then there was actor and producer Sendhil Ramamurthy, who tweeted, “Hot damn, coyotes are so much smarter and capable than I ever gave them credit for. I apologize for underestimating you.”
Politicians weighed in as well. Georgia State Representative Dar’ shun Kendrick said, “Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can’t find their parents for came over through “cartels and coyotes “?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord–stop talking,” And another pro football player chimed in as well. Cleveland Browns star Eric Metcalf, “Kids came over on coyotes to America!?! Am I missing something?” It would appear you are missing something, Eric.
We’ve saved the best for last. These two tweets propel us to new lows in social ignorance. Natalie Campisi of Forbes magazine (let that sink in) said, “I’ve seen a lot of coyotes here in SoCal, but I’ve never seen one carrying a kid,” She is said to have later deleted her tweet. Smart move, Natalie.
You might remember the name, David Hogg. He became famous after a Florida school shooting when the Left paraded him around singing his anti-gun song. David, who is now attending Harvard University, tweeted, “Imagine calling the immigrant parents that bring their children to the United States for a better life ‘Coyotes’ The level of xenophobia is sickening.” You know what’s more sickening, David? The ignorance is running through our American society in 2020.
The crowning achievement over the coyote crisis comes from USA Today. They felt a need to clarify the matter in an entire article. Their headline reads, Fact check: Trump did not mean actual ‘coyotes’ take children across the border. If you need further proof of our descent into ignorance, keep reading USA Today.
Just for the record, a ‘coyote’ is a common term among border patrol agents and politicians about smugglers on the southern border.
May we wake from this madness before it’s too late. I wish you good health, and until next time, have fun, enjoy life, and watch out for the madness amongst us. It’s 2020, and it’s getting out of hand.
