When Trump attacked the Mexicans, I sent "thoughts and prayers", but I was not

a Mexican so I DID NOTHING.

When Trump attacked the Muslims, I sent "thoughts and prayers", but I was not a Muslim so I DID NOTHING.

When Trump attacked gays, women, unions and all people of color, I sent "thoughts and prayers", but since I am a straight white man who does not belong to a union, I DID NOTHING.

And, when Trump finally noticed and attacked ME, someone offered their "thoughts and prayers"---and I said "Is that all you've got? Aren't you gonna DO SOMETHING?"

Complacency is complicity.
