The Hyper Bowl

Sometimes I wonder if I am just overly sensitive. Am I one of those snowflakes? A bleeding heart who raises a fuss at the slightest whiff of political incorrectness? Isn't it possible that I am just upset because the person for whom I voted, the winner of the popular vote in these United States, was not afforded the desk in the White House?
Sure. Anything's possible. If man were meant to fly, he would never have landed on the moon. I still cry at the end of Superman II. Perhaps I am ill-equipped for the rough-and-tumble world of politics.
And yet, I can't help thinking that the guy who lost the popular vote in the 2016 election may be operating someplace just off the tracks. “So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights,” the "president" tweeted. “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here — a lynching. But we will WIN!”
A couple things: This tweet came just a few days after the passing of Elijah Cummnigs, an African-American congressman from Baltimore who fought tirelessly for civil rights. I looked up the definition of "lynching," and here is what it said: "(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial." The current occupant of the White House is likening himself to those who came before him, hanged for a crime he didn't commit by an angry mob. By the neck. Until dead. 
Or maybe this is just hyperbole, the kind of which we should by now be so familiar when it comes to the "president." It could be that he is trying to paint a picture with words that express his deeply held convictions and sometimes strays into areas that could bring about misunderstandings. It is these firm convictions that lead him to overstate circumstances and, at times, the truth. It was the "president" who recently suggested the whistleblower who has filed a complaint against him is a spy and therefore guilty of treason. A crime punishable by death. Did he say "we should lynch the whistleblower?" Not when the microphones or his phone were turned on. I suppose this is to his credit. Somehow. 
So welcome to the land in which we currently live, my fellow Americans. Where a self-described billionaire can lump themselves into a group with folks who have fought their entire lives for civil rights and in another breath call for the deaths of those who argue against him. 
Or maybe I'm must too sensitive.
