Downright dainty

The protesting is not new--nor unwarranted
In light of Nike's decision to put Colin Kaepernick at the forefront of its thirtieth anniversary campaign, Trump supporters are absolutely losing their shit (possibly because it's not their kids cops are killing with the government's blessing) and burning or ripping up perfectly good shoes and clothing because nothing hurts Nike more than idiots burning their own clothing and footwear that they themselves paid good money for.

And all of this because Kaepernick took a knee during the playing of the national anthem to protest the abysmal treatment of African-Americans in this country.

A protest guaranteed by the first amendment of our constitution.

And yet for all their symbolic idiocy, they should consider themselves lucky--unless things change, a day is coming when taking a knee during the national anthem is going to seem downright dainty.

Fuck Donald Trump,
