What's worse than having Donald Trump declare a fake national emergency? Looking at Twitter and seeing "Democrat President" trending. Repeat after us: DEMOCRAT IS A NOUN, NOT AN ADJECTIVE.
But never mind — this is no time to get all worked up over Republican hate speech creeping into the language. Not when Trump and the GOP are setting a dangerous precedent on national emergencies. (A lot of folks in the GOP agree with that, by the way.)
Just think, as all those tweeps are speculating, about what the next Democrat in the Oval Office could do. President Kamala Harris, no doubt, would immediately declare an emergency on climate change. (And she'd be right.) And on this one-year anniversary of the Parkland school massacre, gun violence is another obvious crisis.
By why stop there? Here are a few more emergencies we cats would like to see declared:
Women's reproductive freedoms are in grave danger. Roe is hanging by a thread, and there's — what? — one abortion clinic in all of Mississippi?
A BBC cameraman was attacked at the Trump hatefest in El Paso and everybody's treating it like business as usual.
Measles is back. Thanks, stupid anti-vaxxers.
Worst of all, millions of cats and kittens are looking for furr-ever homes. Most don't make it. We cats know how lucky we are, and we PURR.
