Staying in Your Lane

In case you missed it, just the other night at a campaign rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the weaponization of ignorance in these United States continued.  Once again, and unsurprisingly, its proponent was none other than the Weaponizer-in-Chief:




In the event you have not seen the Academy Award-winning film, which I have not, this was its first official trailer: 


Spoiler Alert:  This film contains sub-titles, 
which allow people who neither speak nor understand 
Korean to follow the story

45's comments about "Parasite" prompted this response for the ages on Twitter from Neon, the film's North American distributor, "Understandable, he can't read. #Parasite #BestPicture #Bong2020".

Whether I ever see this film, which is decidedly unlikely given how few films I see, I applaud the willingness of the company that distributed it to call DJT out on his own bullshit. I just hope they realize that neither the W-I-C nor those assembled in Colorado Springs the other night were or ever will be shamed - or even embarrassed - by the remarks or the loud, spirited reaction to them. That is the most dangerous of all about ignorance. Once weaponized, it is very, very hard to neutralize.

I offer a helpful first step in the neutralization process:
