Encounter with the Trump Mafia

Dan

“I’d like to have a word with you.”

“Ok.”

“It’s just that some of us are starting to be uncomfortable with your posts.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you know, the ones targeting Trump and Fox News.”

“No one seemed to mind me calling out the liberals.”

“Yeah but that’s different, this is our guy.”

“Shouldn’t we hold our guy more accountable?”

“Eh, look, I don’t want to make a big deal out of it, I’m just saying people are unhappy with what you’re saying. Maybe you should post more about Clinton. She does bad stuff. Try being fair.”

“I do, but I don’t give anyone a pass. That’s not how I do things.”

“You could try. Or maybe like a few of the conspiracy posts from the guys. Talk about the rigged election. Stuff like that.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Then maybe just share a few of the other posts. Help us out.”

“Some of that stuff is bigoted. I don’t want to be tied to that.”

“Well, maybe you’re not a good Christian.”

“I’m sorry?”

“You know, pointing out people’s flaws all the time. You’re being judgmental. You should stop. No one’s perfect. Only Jesus.”

“I am well aware of that. But as Christians, we aren’t supposed to ignore evil, especially when it arises from a supposedly Christian individual. We hold ourselves, and those claiming Christianity, accountable. We can rebuke without judging.”

“I’m trying to tell you people are just tired of it. Maybe you need a break.”

“A break?”

“Yeah, you know, not say so much anymore.”

“I don’t think that’s—”

“Look, we appreciate all you did bashing Obama in the old days. But this doesn’t seem like it’s working out.”

“Oh.”

“I mean, unless you can just stick to bashing only Clinton – go back to how it was, you know what I mean?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Then think about taking a long vacation. Maybe even finding a new place to post.”

“Right.”  

“Wouldn’t want things to get rough for you around here. I’d have to turn my back on you.”

“Oh.”

“So that’s it then! Glad that’s settled. Thanks. You take care. And try to be a better person.”
