Oh, say can you see

I use Twitter in ways that it serves me and nobody else. 

If users reply to my tweets, I won't know about those replies unless they are from accounts that I recognize.  If I am curious, I have to go looking for the replies.  Which is what I did about this tweet of mine, which went viral.

It went viral because of a soccer player. A woman. Whose name I had hashtagged: #MeganRapinoe.

One of the replies is this:

Nah. She's purely a disrespectful bitch. End of report.

The "MAGA" patrol is on the prowl!  Calling a woman a "bitch" is par for the course for them, given how their Dear Leader boasts about grabbing pussies :(

Or, consider this reply:

now im going to go and take a shit

"saynotoliberal" is the ID.

Meanwhile, their Dear Leader took to his favorite mass broadcast medium and let loose against the soccer star.  Does he not have way more important issues to be concerned about?  Like the trade wars? Or the prospect of real wars?  If course he does not care about those--he knows how to constantly stoke his base, and there are few issues that get his base more excited than when he beats up on women.

Why are the "maga" maniacs so angry at a soccer player, who is integral to the team winning the World Cup? 

Because ... "she declines to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” with her teammates."

After Colin Kaepernick began his kneeling protest three years ago, Rapinoe became the first prominent white or female athlete to do the same before a Seattle Reign match in September 2016. In response to her protest, the National Women’s Soccer League and U.S. Soccer Federation have spelled out their policies and tried to curtail Rapinoe’s acts. But she has continued to express herself in various forms. Standing tight-lipped during the anthem is essentially a compromise, but the image continues to look rebellious.

And you know how much the Dear Leader makes literal the adage that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Her stances don’t make her different from her teammates and a detriment to this great soccer program. They verify that she is a product of a revolutionary tradition.

I would never have imagined an American revolution being born in the soccer field!  That kind of a revolutionary spirit is how we will truly make America great again, after the Dear Leader is thrown out of the White House.
