Depth Deception

Among this morning’s first page of Pinterest thumbnails, there was one that offered a picture of a first aid kit for gunshot wounds.

Gunshot wounds. You know—for that day when everything goes to shit and we all find ourselves in a scene from The Purge.

I was a Boy Scout. I know there’s wisdom in being prepared. But this seems a bit ridiculous and sad. Excessive, maybe even a dabbling in fear-mongering, like blood in the streets is an inevitability.

I understand that, given who the Republican ticket is, some might be thinking in these terms. But to see such an offering—on Pinterest—is a bit jarring. Only from the minds of a paranoid, self-appointed militia who are preparing for Armageddon if Kamala is elected.

Because, you know, Trump is the idea guy, and one of these days he’s gonna make America great again.
