A Few More Sick Burns Of Trump On Twitter And He Has To Step Down, Right?

By Lena Dunham

I’m sure I’m not the only one thrilled to see how many people have mobilized online – and occasionally in person – to mock Donald Trump. The scale of involvement in the sacred work of ridiculing his childish, thuggish conduct moves me to the point that I am certain only a few more sick burns of him by patriotic tweeters will bring us to the point where he’s forced to resign.

Alec Baldwin has been outdoing himself mocking the chief executive, but he cannot do it alone. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that a popular enough reaction to the lampooning of an incompetent president is enough to force him out of office. The rest of us need to step in and step up our game if we hope to leverage our snarky comments on Trump’s appearance, tweets, staff, rhetoric, or decisions into real political change at the highest level.

That’s why I’ve pledged to retweet at least seven posts per day mocking Trump. Every time an aggregator site presents a link to an item titled, “Watch _______ DESTROY Trump,” we move that much closer to his resignation. When you share that item on social media, you contribute. The power is in your hands.

There is nothing illegal about this – at least as long as Trump doesn’t stomp on our freedom of expression. If we keep creating and retweeting sarcastic refutations of the president, his staff, and his policies, we can oust him and his misogynist, racist, fascist administration. You can look it up.

Even those of us who did the moral thing and fled to the freer side of the Canadian border after the election can help. Again, nothing in the Constitution limits participation in this noble endeavor (in Canada you’d spell it endeavour)  to people located or residing inside the United States. Or even to US citizens! I checked! Free-thinking people of conscience can join in this holy task, regardless of nationality, political affiliation, or other category. I’ll have to get back to you on institutions, though, because treating corporations or organizations as legal persons is tricky. On one hand Republicans such as Trump would love to have that status pertain, meaning good people have to oppose it, but on the other hand, it could benefit the side of Good in this case, so I’m torn.

So let’s get our snark and our tweeting fingers limber, and post away. We’re just a few short sick burns and mic drops away from freedom!
