30 Nights Later, a Thousand and Three Tweets to #lockherup
(1,003 avatars of victorious Trump fans tweeting #lockherup, a full month after the election of Donald J. Trump.)
One month ago tonight, Donald J. Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election, thanks to a football stadium-sized amount of voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, who tipped the electoral college in his favor.
In the four weeks since, there’s been little to ease the anxiety of shaken Democrats reeling from an unexpected loss, and there’s been no cooling of the white-hot animosity from Trump’s supporters, who continue the rallying cry of his campaign, urging their dear leader (on his favored communication platform) to make good on his promise to imprison Hillary Clinton.
And while these tweets may be from fabled pro-Trump meme bots or teenage Macedonian fake news kingpins, there’s also the critical care trauma nurse from Austin, and the Vietnam Vet who enjoys walking his dog.
