Trump as icon. Martyrdom? And a mugshot. Ali Velshi of MSNBC : Stop allowing Trump to thrive off martyrdom

This post is a rough draft that may or may not be insearch of a wider forum. 

There is MUCH to argue about and below the video are some peculiarly RantWoman takes.


Apologies to all other commenters: RantWoman has yet to go looking for a good news crawler to help digest comments. But here are some authentic RantWoman comments.

Re Martyrdom, Thanks but NO THANKS, not on my behalf. For one thing, your name is NOT Jesus. 

It does seem like an important task to figure out what standards can help deprogram devotees to Mr. #P01135809. For me start with No one is above the law and LOOK at all the people he's screwing over. He is just pathetic in so many ways. At a certain point even people who care about an alcoholic STOP ENABLING HIM.

There is a whole presidential campaign ahead of us. I might personally be perfectly fine with #TFG sucking up all the small #GOP donations even if the legal Trumparama keeps attention on on  #POTUS45 rather than serious issues facing the country, but I know that is BAD for the country. I hope people of conscience all over the political spectrum can put #CountryOverParty and find ways to drive conversation toward real issues.

Equally important rant: treat polls with EXTREME caution, both because of history of misusing polls and because it's time people said as many ways as possible #TFG is leading among Republican primary voters who are nowhere near a majority of voters.

As for iconography, the famous mugshot is public domain. I would seriously consider buying a shirt sold by someone I want to support that has MY ASS GOT ARRESTED in big letters across the mugshot on the front and either Country over party or No One is Above The Law in big letters on the back.
