Ken Bernstein, who blogs at The Daily Kos as Teacher Ken, likes to parse articles of interest. In this post, he parses Charles M. Blow’s defense of the truth. Over the past few days, I got the attention of many Trump supporters, in response to a post expressing my amazement about bumper stickers such as “I love my country, I hate my government.” So this post is for them. Among the sillier things said was that the Constitution has nothing to do with the government, although I refer to it as the document that defines our government. I was called many names, some unprintable here. On Twitter, I was the recipient of many insults hurled by people who identified themselves as part of the MAGA cult.

If they are still around, I hope they read Charles Blow, who wrote:

“…we must develop a societal strategy for protecting the true in a post-truth world, and the first step is that we must never stop saying: Donald Trump is a liar.”

I have been swarmed before, once by homeschooling advocates, after I dared to say that some parents are not responsible. But this is the first time I was swarmed by the MAGA crowd. The hatefulness was dense. As I often say, no one is required to read what I write. If you don’t like it, there are many other blogs that are more to your liking. If you can’t be civil, to me and other readers, go elsewhere.
